Posted on February 1, 2020April 7, 2024 by basnetranar

Choosing the best baby name for my little one was definitely one of the most important quest in my life as a parent. It got quite stressful at times, but I did enjoy the process a lot. Searching through web for best name for my son and reasoning with my wife for every name seemed like a routine activity until my wife came up with the name that strike my mind and heart. I was looking for a unique name and was seriously considering ‘Raiden – God of Thunder’, dads huh!

There was nothing wrong with this name but now that I look at my son, Raiden would have been a terrible choice of name for him. Romeo suits him perfectly as he spreads joy anywhere he goes with his infectious smile. I have created this list of most popular, cute and unique baby names hoping that you might find that special name in the list or it will at least give you some idea about what you want to name your bundle of joy.
