Naming a baby is a huge deal! That’s (usually) the one thing about your future kid that will stick with them the rest of their lives. No pressure, right? Even before the baby gets here, you have to decide on a whole lot of other things about their lives — including how to throw them their own special celebration.
Yup, we’re talking about baby showers. Fortunately, the type of baby shower you plan is a great predictor of what you’ll name your kid. Are you more classic or trendy? Are traditions important to you, or not so much? See?! Told you. Even if you’re planning a shower for someone else, you’re still navigating your way around the mysterious world of all things baby. You already have a parenting style and well-developed taste in baby names without even knowing it. See for yourself: plan a baby shower and we’ll tell you what to name your future kids.
Let's get this baby shower started! First things first, who is this shower for?

- A local neighborhood venue like a firehouse or Elks club.
- A nice restaurant.
- A park, picnic-style.

Is this baby shower a surprise, or does the mom know it's happening?
- Surprise showers are the only way to go.
- Of course not! Momma has to be prepared and have her day clear for a party.
Don't let the guests go hungry! What kind of food will you serve at this baby shower?
- Catered food. You only get one baby shower!
- Potluck. After all, this is a community event.
- All hors d’oeuvres. That’s what everyone fills up on anyway.
- All homemade, probably by me.
Sweets are part of every well-balanced meal. Pick a dessert to serve!

Are there any guys invited to this baby shower, or is it strictly girls-only?
- Of course it’s only girls! What are you even talking about?
- Just the father of the baby and maybe a few close male relatives.
- Definitely! We want these men to be a part of the baby’s life.
You can't just sit around at a baby shower. If you had to pick ONE game to play with your guests, what would it be?
- Guess the gender — and we’ll take bets to make it interesting.
- Baby-bottle chugging contest!
- Decorating onesies.
- Blind baby-food taste test.
Gifts are a central part of any baby shower. Where is the momma-to-be registered?
- Amazon
- Babies”R”Us
- Buy Buy Baby
- Target
Not all gifts are created equal. What's one obnoxious shower gift you're pretty sure no baby ever needs?
- A porcelain rattle. Babies break stuff!
- Designer clothes. They’re just going to end up covered in stains!
- Prank gifts, like condoms.
- Unnecessary tech devices, like a baby-wipe warmer.
- Aggressively gendered anything.
- Anything that’s not on the registry. It exists for a reason!
The guests are about to go home, but not without favors. What's in everyone's goody bag?
