Baby Room Themes: Fun Ideas Your Baby Will Love
by: Alli Ross

Decorating a nursery for your new baby can be a fun and exciting experience. It will be the first place for your baby to dream, to experience, and to grow. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Location. Calm surroundings are critical to a newborn's development. Avoid rooms that are close to a busy street, where there could be more noise. Will the baby's room be on the same floor as your bedroom ? This makes it more convenient to monitor your baby. However, you can always opt for an audio or video monitor.

Its a wonderful, healthy, bouncing baby boy! Congratulations...now what are you going to call him?

Well, I if you want him to grow up to become a rough, tough icon of manliness, I suppose you could call him "Marion" - at least that's what John Wayne's parents did!

But seriously, if you are an American, there is a very big chance that the baby boy name you select will be something biblical. My own name, "Michael" was the most popular baby boy name in America during every single decade from the 1960s through to the end of the century. I supposed I'm biased, but I love the name! The literal meaning is "Who is like God"; Michael was one of the original archangels and the leader of God's armies. Pretty powerful stuff for all the rest of us Michaels to live up to, eh?"

Baby name tips Irish Baby Names:

Irish Baby Names - History and OriginBy John Lynch
The meaning of baby names of irish origin lies hundreds of years back in the Irish gaelic language of the ancient Celts who migrated from Central Europe before the foundation of the Roman Empire.

"The Celts Dominant
Those Celts who came to Britain, France and Ireland were dominant for a long period. With the spread of the Roman Empire, the Celts gradually were pushed back into North Western France (modern Brittany with its distinct Breton language), Western Britain (Cornwall and Wales), Northern Britain (Isle of Man and Scotland), and the island of Ireland which was never conquered by the Romans."

Bathing your baby:
Until your baby’s umbilical cord falls off one to two weeks after their birth, only give her sponge baths.

Baby name tips | Top Baby Names For 2005:

So What Were The Top Baby Names For 2005?

"The answer to the question depends on who you ask and where you live. In the good old USA, at the time of writing (February 2006), the official figures were not yet published. It therefore remains to be seen whether the top two baby names of 2004, Jacob and Emily, will retain their positions as the top baby names of 2005.

Americans tend to retain a very traditional attitude to naming their children and those two baby names have actually been at the top of the American baby name official list since 1999, the first year that Jacob beat Michael to the number one spot. Emily has been the most popular baby girl name every year since 1996!

One of the first and most important thing parents can do for a child is to CAREFULLY consider the name they put on the birth certificate. There is the potential to cause lifelong anguish and shame to a person, as this humorous article seeks to prove.

When naming a child always consider the surname – the two must be compatible. It would be unkind and thoughtless of Mr and Mrs Dick to name their son Richard; imagine the fun his schoolmates could have! In Greece it’s traditional to name male children for their grandparents, which means little boys are saddled with unpronounceable names like Theophylaktos, Panagiotis or Eleftherios. I know a young Greek couple who were very upset when they learned they were having a son, because he was to be saddled with one of these names. I have also met a two year child called Constandinos – a rather unwieldy name for a small boy but at least he will grow into it. Girls are fortunate, because they are not named in the traditional way, which is probably the reason there aren’t too many girls called Spyridoula, Efrosyni or Glykeria.

Weirdest celebrity baby names


There’s a disturbing baby naming trend among celebrities. Most of them seem to be desperate to start trends, so they seem to be obsessed with high snigger factor names for their offspring. I feel for Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter Apple when she starts going to school. However if they send her to a school filled with celebrity kids her name will not be noticed, because there are far worse names these people have bestowed upon their children. Consider the monikers these poor children were burdened with by thoughtless parents:

Prince Michael. Prince Michael II. Paris Michael.
Michael Jackson showed great originality when naming his offspring, saddling his daughter with both the name of the city where she was supposedly conceived AND his own name. How does he call those kids for dinner? At least Prince Michael II has a nickname - unfortunately it’s as bad as his real name… BLANKET.

Jermajesty.
Not to be outdone by his brother, Jermaine Jackson saddled his son with this cruel name.

Kyd.
And you thought David Duchovney and Tea Leoni looked sensible? Imagine growing old with this name.

Zowie.
At the time of his son’s birth, David Bowie was extremely fond of recreational drugs, which probably accounts for this shocker. No wonder Zowie opted to change his name, although he kept the rhythm going when he changed it to Joey.

Rolan Bolan.
What is it with these singers and rhyming their son’s first name with the surname? Guilty party in this case is Marc Bolan.

Jett.
He pilots his own ‘plane, which may be the reason John Travolta bestowed this misspelled word upon his son.

Pilot Inspektor
Speaking of pilots… Jason Lee – did you have to be so cruel? And where on earth did you learn to spell?

Audio Science.
A name like this can only mean Shannyn Sossamon (from A Knight’s Tale) has high hopes for her child’s future profession – musician or scientist!

Speck Wildhorse. Hud.
It’s a pity John Mellencamp’s brilliant songwriting skills weren’t in evidence when he named his sons.

Reignbeau. Freedom.
Daughter and son respectively of Ving Rhames, another actor with questionable spelling ability.

Tu Morrow.
“Take Tu to school/lunch/the doctor/the party” … Debbon Ayre and Rob Morrow will probably be sued by their daughter when she’s older.

Diezel. Denim.
Cruel, Toni Braxton. Very cruel. Someone needs to get this girl a dictionary.

Rumer Glenn. Tallulah Belle. Scout LaRue.
I’ve always wondered exactly to which of their names Bruce Willis’ and Demi Moore’s daughter answer.

Kal-el.
What was Nicolas Cage thinking???

Here’s a handful more examples of unthinking, cruel celebrities, together with some playground taunts:

Homer (Richard Gere) - Doh!
Chance (Larry King) - Yeah, Fat Chance!
Sailor (Christie Brinkley) - Hello Sailor! (and all the limp wristed innuendos…)
Dandelion (Keith Richard) - Hey, Dandelion – you little Weed!
Mingus Lucien (Helena Christensen) - Minging! And Ming Ming!

It doesn’t matter how much money their parents earn. And who cares how famous they are? These kids are ready for therapy before they’ve even left the nursing home! Massive trust funds won't protect these children from a lifetime of nickname torment.

African American baby names come in all shapes and sizes and vary from beautiful, traditional names, full of history and meaning – to the downright ridiculous. The problem is the extreme variety of African American names available and the possible reasons for choosing them.

Probably more than any other group in the US, African American parents are faced with several dilemmas when choosing baby names. Should they, for example, try to reflect a deep and strong cultural heritage, by choosing an African name? African names are drawn from a massive range of languages and cultures, from Bintu to Ethiopian, from Swahili to South African. And since northern Africa is largely Muslim, should an African-American parent choose an Arabic or Muslim name?

Baby name tips | How To Start Breast Feeding:

Should I Breastfeed My Baby?
Author: D Ruplinger

"Many expectant Moms ask themselves whether or not they should breastfeed their baby. The vast majority of medical professionals will give them a resounding yes when asked this question, at least for most mothers. For the majority of new mothers, breastfeeding is highly recommended. But it is not recommended for all mothers. Mothers who are HIV positive or who have AIDS should not breastfeed their baby because the HIV virus can be passed to the baby through breast milk.

Breastfeeding is also not recommended for mothers undergoing cancer treatment; as well as mothers who have untreated Hepatitis B and mothers who have active tuberculosis that hasn�t been under treatment for at least two weeks. "

Keeping Your Baby Relaxed Throughout The Day

"One of the greatest challenges for any new parent is getting their child to sleep throughout the night. This is very difficult at first, as the child has to make a transition from sleeping with his mother to sleeping on his own. Like anything else in life, this isn't something that happens instantly - it
takes time for your child to learn how to do this. There are some things you can do, however, that will create a better environment for your baby to fall asleep in.
While you ultimately can't control when or how your baby sleeps, you can,
in many ways, stack the deck in your favor. In terms of baby sleep tips, a good one is making sure that your baby spends his daytime hours in a relaxed and peaceful state. "
