Some kids have a propensity for names that sound like they come from a scary movie or one of their favorite TV shows. We’ve all had a child who started out with a name that sounded like a cartoon character that went against everything we knew our little monsters had been born with. However, what parents might not know is that kids who started out with names that are more mundane as well can get into trouble.
When you hear the word ‘healthy’, chances are that it is also a noun. If your child says they are running or they are ‘good’, chances are they are lying to their sweetheart at home. They might be feeling a bit overwhelmed and not knowing what to say or do, but they are still lying which is a problem.
Many of the same things that make bad names work in the real world can also help you prevent a similar fate at home. We discuss in the article that how the negative and positive qualities on a kid’s name can be reversed just like “good” and “bad” words.
There are lots of ways your kids can make poor choices with names at home. As parents, you have the opportunity to improve your childs’ communication skills and ability to be more self-disciplined. You can begin by improving your childs’ language skills, by changing the name of the person your child names, and by letting your child choose their own names.
The “best” advice I heard this spring was you cannot name your kid “Sandy” because that implies he or she needs to be taken care of in some way. I wish this was true because Sandy is my child, and I want him or her to just be good to me.
