my own yardstick...

I know it's stupid, but whenever I consider a name for my baby girl I try to think about how it will look in pink wooden block letters on the wall over the crib.

    I think about a person of various ages introducing themselves with that name. I've found myself thinking, "Jeeze, I'd hate to be a 30-year-old named Tallulah" or "I'd feel sorry for a 16-year-old named Esther."

    A lot of people will say you should think about naming an adult, since you're an adult much longer than you're a baby. But really, you have to live with a name at every stage of your life, no matter how long or short. And no matter how nice that  name might look on a resume someday, if (because of teasing, say) your child hates it by the time they're 22, what difference does it make?
