\n

One of the highlights of being an expectant parent is choosing a name for your child. Many parents want a name that is as special as their child. After all, no one wants their child to be just one of several children in the same classroom with the same name. If you really want something distinctive, try combining baby names<\/a> to make one new name.<\/p>\n

Combining baby names can also be a meaningful way to honor two people who are important to your family. You might combine the names of grandparents, parents or other relatives, or simply blend two names that you and your partner love. The result can be a completely original baby name with a personal story behind it.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t any hard-and-fast rules. Sometimes the beginning of one name works beautifully with the ending of another. Other times, you may need to experiment with spelling, syllables and sounds until you find a combination that feels right.<\/p>\n

Girl Names<\/h2>\n

The most famous combined baby name for a girl might be \u201cRenesmee,\u201d which was the name of the daughter of Bella and Edward in the best-selling \u201cTwilight\u201d book series. The name was a combination of the couple\u2019s grandmothers, Renee and Esme. Or, you could try combining classic names for a new version of traditional favorites. \u201cSara\u201d and \u201cLaura,\u201d for example, could become \u201cSalaura.\u201d \u201cAbigail\u201d and \u201cChloe\u201d combined could be \u201cAbiloe.\u201d<\/p>\n

When combining baby names for a girl, try saying different portions of each name aloud. You don\u2019t necessarily have to split both names in half. Using only the first syllable of one name and the last two syllables of another may produce a combination that sounds much more natural.<\/p>\n

You can also experiment with different spellings once you\u2019ve settled on a sound you like. Just remember that an especially unusual spelling may mean your child will need to explain or spell her name for other people later.<\/p>\n

Boy Names<\/h2>\n

Boy names can be combined when tradition necessitates the passing on of a name from both sides of the family. \u201cJoshua\u201d and \u201cHosiah,\u201d for example, become \u201cJoziah.\u201d \u201cTrenton\u201d and \u201cBrandon\u201d become \u201cBrenton.\u201d Or, choose the names from your father and your spouse\u2019s father. \u201cWilliam\u201d and \u201cEthan\u201d can combine to make \u201cWillan,\u201d and \u201cChristopher\u201d plus \u201cMatthew\u201d could make the distinctive name \u201cMaristo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Combining baby names can be particularly helpful when both sides of the family have names they would like passed down. Instead of having to choose one relative over another, a blended name can recognize both.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t feel that you have to use equal portions of each name, either. Start by writing both names down and looking for letters, sounds or syllables they have in common. You may find that one combination sounds awkward while another rolls off the tongue.<\/p>\n

Unisex Names<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to create combined baby names from two girl names or two boy names. You can honor both parents, for example, by creating a name from your father and mother\u2019s names. \u201cClaudia\u201d and \u201cRobert\u201d can become \u201cRodia,\u201d and \u201cLance\u201d and \u201cAimey\u201d can become \u201cLaimey.\u201d \u201cMartin\u201d added to \u201cBernice\u201d might become \u201cBertin,\u201d and \u201cThomas\u201d plus \u201cHeather\u201d can be \u201cHeamas.\u201d<\/p>\n

This approach gives you even more possibilities, especially if you\u2019re interested in a name that doesn\u2019t immediately sound traditionally masculine or feminine.<\/p>\n

How to Combine Baby Names<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re having trouble finding a combination that works, start with a list of the names you\u2019d most like to incorporate. Then try several methods of combining baby names:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Take the first half of one name and the second half of another.<\/li>\n
  • Combine the first syllable of one name with the last syllable of the other.<\/li>\n
  • Look for letters or sounds that appear in both names and use them as the joining point.<\/li>\n
  • Try reversing which name comes first.<\/li>\n
  • Say each possibility aloud with your child\u2019s last name.<\/li>\n
  • Write the name down to see whether the spelling looks as good as the name sounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You may come up with dozens of combinations before finding one you love. That\u2019s part of the fun.<\/p>\n

    Make Sure the New Name Works<\/h2>\n

    Before settling on your creation, say the full name out loud several times. Consider potential nicknames, initials and how easily another person could pronounce the name after seeing it written down.<\/p>\n

    Most importantly, don\u2019t worry if your first attempts at combining baby names sound a little strange. Play with different syllables and spellings. Sometimes changing just one letter or sound can turn an awkward combination into exactly the distinctive baby name you\u2019ve been looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
