Tips for Choosing a Name

Picking a name can feel like a big puzzle, but here’s what to keep in mind:

• Think about pronunciation – will grandma be able to say it?
• Consider the meaning – it’s like giving your kid a secret superpower
• Test it out – try calling it across a playground!

Final Thoughts

Names are like little time capsules, carrying bits of culture and family history into the future. Whether you go traditional or totally unique, the most important thing is picking a name that feels right for your family.

Remember, in Peru and everywhere else, a name is more than just what’s written on a birth certificate – it’s the first gift we give our children. Pretty special when you think about it that way, isn’t it?
