Other Things To Consider When Choosing A Name

• If you choose a celebrity name, chances are that they will fall out of favour in the future.

• If you choose a very unusual or even comedy name, it will be funny for a while but think about later events in life. Such as a marriage or even a brush with the law. Would a police man take you seriously if you told him your name was Mickey mouse?
