Name makeovers ...
A little change can make a
BIG Impact!
Are you considering the classic name Owen for your son? (If so, you have exquisite taste!) But if the name doesn't feel 100% perfect for you, try adding a "B". The name Bowen maintains that elegant sound ... plus some added "punch". You also create a cute nickname: Bo.
Most names can withstand slight alterations for added creativity. Many other names have similar-sounding names that can be used in lieu of the originals.
The names Emma and Emily are wildly popular ... but Emmeline is virtually ignored.
Nickname makeovers also offer many oportunities. Do you like the name "Candace", but are unsure of the nickname "Candy"? Try using "Dacy" for a fresh twist on short names.
Start small ... go through the alphabet, adding just one letter to the beginning or end of a name. (This won't work with all names.) Or, if a name has two or three syllables, drop a syllable, and see what happens.
