Baby Names

So I was looking up some name meanings tonight, and it occured to me, all these sites that advertise "baby names", they aren't just names for babies, they're people names. You don't name your baby something, and then change names when they're 4 or 5. I think the idea of "baby names" is misleading because it makes it sound like you're naming just a baby. But it's not, to parents, it's their son or daughter that'll grow up and make them proud. I guess "baby names" is just a term of convenience, since choosing a name for a baby is when we're most often interested in names and their menaings. Not that I have any need for baby names. Ohhh no, not me. I know plenty of people who do, but I'm not one of them.
