Release Body: (Darien, Conn.) October 23, 2008 - www.BabyBox.com,
a luxury retailer of high-end baby
bedding, crib bedding, baby furniture, bassinets and baby gifts, presents
tips for choosing a baby name, offering a superior collection
of personalized, monogrammed and customizable kids and baby gifts
that celebrate the importance of a baby's name while reinforcing
the development of a child's own identity.
"Naming
a baby is a very special and often challenging and time-consuming
task that parents will face, but once decided, it’s a celebratory
occasion," says Katherine Type, founder of BabyBox.com.
“Today, celebrities are not the only parents choosing
unique baby names or even made up names. Remember those bicycle
name plates? They were fine until you tried to find an uncommon
name. At BabyBox.com, even unusual names or names with unconventional
spellings can be customized on most gift items.”
Parents
who are putting off the process of choosing a name can take heart
with some simple steps to get them started. The first step usually
evolves from a process of eliminating names. Knowing which names
are not desirable is an important step toward narrowing a list
of possibilities. If a non-traditional name is sought, the logical
place to start would be to rule out the most common names. Next,
write down all family names, if tradition is important or if honoring
a beloved relative is a prerogative. Lastly, take the final list
of baby names and sleep on them, consider any difficulties a child
might have with spelling, initials, double meanings and gender
identification.
Whether
taking the traditional or non-traditional route to naming a baby,
BabyBox.com has the essential customizable, personalized
and monogram luxury baby gifts that children will treasure as
their very own.
Personalization
starts from day one, when baby is brought home in monogrammed
Pima cotton layette sets or bib sets. Documenting a baby’s
firsts and milestones gets customized with a wide array of baby
books, albums and keepsake boxes, including “A Baby Book
for You” with artworks by Ralph Caldecott, Kate Greenaway,
Walter Crane, and others from the golden age of children's book
illustration. The book includes a section about why a child’s
name was chosen.
According
to the U.S. Social Security Administration, some of the most popular
boy names in this decade include Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew,
Andrew, Christopher, Daniel, Joseph, Ethan and William. Masculine
or unusual, inherited or new, baby boys can proudly wear their
moniker on personalized baby scrubs, monogrammed golf t-shirts,
personalized corduroy rompers, monogrammed handmade moccasins,
baseball caps and many other baby boy gifts.
The
10 most popular girl names are Emily, Madison, Emma, Hannah, Olivia,
Abigail, Ashley, Samantha. Jaden, Phoenix and Riley are some unique
unisex baby names (for boys or girls), while the twin names Ella/Emma
and Madison/Morgan were the most popular combinations in 2007.
Fashionable lasses can make a statement through personalized clothing.
Choose from monogrammed dresses, cotton hoodies, luxury layette,
personalized dresses, monogrammed bathing suits and diaper covers
to add a touch of elegance to baby’s wardrobe.
A
staple of every baby’s wardrobe is the monogrammed baby
body suit that works great under outfits or as is in warmer weather.
Create individualized sleeping and playing spaces with personalized
and monogrammed blankets, pillows and towels. Customized wall
art and wooden wall letters encourages learning a child’s
name, while personalized Warhol style pop art is a perfectly whimsical
piece for any room. Sturdy personalized puzzle stools make a wonderful
activity gift that is both educational and useful. Personalized
name stools and personalized name puzzles also come in Hebrew.
Play
time becomes extra special with a monogrammed Plain Mary Kensington
Baby Play Mat, a selection of dolls for boys and girls, cuddly
personalized Hand Knit Cotton Bunny. Personalized baby keepsakes
