Although a report from Wired says that the "pronounceability of a name", whatever its length is or however foreign it sounds, has an effect on the likeability of a person, there are also benefits and advantages in giving a child a unique name.
"It symbolizes their hopes and dreams for their kids," says Pamela Redmond Satran, author of "The Baby Name Bible" and creator of "Nameberry", in an interview with Yahoo Parenting -- sharing her inputs about giving unique and unconventional names to children. "So if you want your child to stand out from the crowd, be independent and a real individual. After all, a unique name is one way to show him that you value those qualities."
Hopefully, Yahoo Parenting's list of the 100 best baby names today will be able to assist parents in choosing the best names for their children.
