Choosing the name for your baby is such a monumental moment - as they stay with your little one for the rest of their lives.
It's a joyous time, but can also be incredibly stressful, and you may want to instinctively turn to others for help and inspiration.
Baby naming consultant Taylor Humphrey has suggested that taking advice from family and friends may not be the best idea, however.
Speaking to Today, Taylor says that baby naming can become unbearable when there are too many people involved and everybody wants to put their two cents in.
Too many cooks can spoil the broth, as it were.

Instead, she recommends keeping this decision between you and your partner, and potentially a baby name consultant if you want an opinion from someone not in your close circle.
"I see parents making the error of including friends' and family's opinions in the process," Humphrey explained to Today.
"The issue I've seen is that most people don’t hold back when sharing their initial reactions to the names parents are considering. They can be brutal, and downright rude. This intensity can really take the wind out of parents' sails."
This is definitely something parents-to-be will want to avoid, so it's best to reveal the baby's name when they are actually born - rather than discussing too much with those closest to you.
When choosing a baby name, she recommends keeping a running list in a notes app so you can add and take away names when you see fit - inspiration could strike anywhere.
She also suggests making the name thoughtful and based on you, or your relationship.
Thinking about your hobbies and interests and thinking a little outside the box could really help the inspiration to strike when you least expect it.
