However, it seems that some remain timeless! Indeed, over time some first names haven’t aged a bit like Paul and Louis for a little boy or Marie and Anna for little girls. Several researchers have found that parents are seduced by the reassuring side of these first names, the meaning of which often carries symbolic values.
Choosing a baby’s name is an important step in pregnancy that can haunt expectant parents for many weeks before delivery. In effect, the name he will bear will represent his identity. This is why choosing a classic first name is a safe bet. The child will thus be able to wear it without fear of reprisals or mockery at school, for example. In addition, it has been proven that a first name that is a little “passe-partout” more easily attracts the sympathy of others.
