Many young parents do not realize what an awesome responsibility they carry.

A Jewish name is not just something to call the person. It’s the very essence of the Neshoma.

Whatever you do be sure to ask a Rav or Rebbe, who knows these things, about the name. Giving the wrong name to a child can ruin their life.

It’s preferable to name after an ancestor. If you don’t have, ask before you give whatever name strikes your fancy.

Giving a name is not a joke. I’ts very serious business. One of the Tzadikim of the last generation often said when people came to him with the name of a choleh “If only they had come to me to ask what name to give”
