Will the name you choose be suitable throughout all stages of life, starting with baby, child, teenager, young adult, middle age, and retirement?
Will the name be difficult to spell, or could it cause teasing?
What will your baby think of your choice of name?
Does the first name fit well with the last name or second or third names?
