Looking for the perfect baby name?

Preparing for the birth of a child involves much more than purchasing new or used baby furniture, clothing and gear. As any parent can attest, choosing the perfect name for your little one is a major consideration in the months leading up to the birth of a new baby.

Many people depend on baby name books, websites and advice from friends to help pick a great name. But now, a new online service is helping make the naming process even easier for some.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, has launched a mobile app and website to help parents find the ideal moniker. Moms and dads can search for names inspired by a variety of categories including the Bible, athletes, food, artists, comedians, country music stars, celebrity baby names, Disney, sci-fi and social media influences and tech stars.

The service also allows them to create virtual baby blankets featuring a name or a monogram to see how they look. Additionally, they can tweet, pin or post the name idea on Facebook, Pinterest and other social medial websites to get feedback from friends and family members.

Expectant parents or those who are just curious about the service can access it online at CBHBabyNames.com.
