The American flag and apple pie, baseball and the nuclear family - that's what America's all about. You're a traditional baby-namer. You like to stick to the tried and true: John, Elizabeth, Ann, Pat, George. Why would you want to name your child something that other kids might turn into a joke?
Shakespeare, Herodotus, a list of Nobel Prize winners, or a history book -- these are the places you'll look to find a name for your baby. You're intelligent, and you want a name for your child that will make you think.
You follow Brad and Angelina's adoption saga like some businessmen follow the stock market. When Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple, you immediately turned to www.garden.org for a list of interesting fruit and plant names. Your child's name will start her off on the right track to the in-crowd.
The best times of your life have all taken place outdoors, and you intend to celebrate that fact when you name your child. You think Savannah and Aspen (two of your favorite places for outdoor adventure) are also beautiful names for girls, and a son called Cody or Kit (after one of the pioneers who opened up the western expanses) would certainly express your personality.
You march to your own drummer. Your baby's name will be an expression of your way of life, and who cares if the name's unusual? You'll teach your children to be proud of who they are, and not to care about what others think. No one wants a name that's forgotten as soon as it's heard. How about Andromeda, after your favorite galaxy, or Morpheus, the god of dreams?
