If you're looking for a name for your newborn, or even a name for a pet, Remember the Front Porch Rule.
What is that? It's to think of the name in question and imagine yourself yelling it from the front porch of your home.
One lady was determined to name her daughter Cutie, until her friends told her about the 'rule.' "Hey Cutie, dinner." Oh. That may not work.
Another mom-to-be wanted to honor her daughter's grandmothers, Fae and Rose, by naming her FaeRose. Beautiful, until she imagined herself yelling, "Fae-Rose! Where are you... wait. I'd sound like Moses yelling at the Pharaohs!" Yikes! Let My People Go!
Some even confessed to using the 'porch rule' for naming their pets. One person shared: "This is the method I use for naming pets! The pets don't seem to care how ridiculous their names are - but sometimes I have to decide if I really want to have to shout "Professor Fluffenstien! Where are you?"
