While waiting for their precious bundle to appear, parents often use the time to imagine their child’s future, their career, what type of person they will be. This often leads to choosing a name that embodies those desires for their child.
For example, Alvera (and the masculine equivalent Alvaro) means “speaker of truth.” Ideal for a child who you want to raise to have a strong moral compass. They might be the next great social justice warrior, advocating for women’s rights, or necessary policy reforms. Or perhaps it’s a quieter truth, speaking words of encouragement into the lives of their friends.
Rheta is a name that means eloquent speaker, leading business meetings and presenting new product ideas. She is confident and persuasive with her words. As a child, she could argue her way out of punishment if she tried hard enough.
Maybe you have a talkative family and you just know your child, Tate, would fit right in, talking it up with the best of them. However you envision your future, choosing a name that encapsulates your vision will always remind you of the hope and love you have for your child.
While we cannot predict the paths our children will take, it is okay to give your child a name that reflects your hopes for them. Their name might encourage and inspire them to move towards that future, but it also might just remain a reflection of your dreams for them. Just be ready for them to not turn out exactly as you planned!
