February always brings thoughts of love…and if you’re expecting a baby this month, or welcoming one soon, love is probably already filling every corner of your heart.

A Gentle Reminder for Moms Still Deciding

If you haven’t picked a name yet, don’t panic. Many moms don’t feel certain until they see their baby’s face for the first time.

Sometimes the name you thought you’d use suddenly doesn’t fit, and another one just feels right.

And that moment? It’s completely normal.

For many Guyanese moms, names carry family stories, cultural meaning, or honor loved ones. Others choose names based on feelings, dreams, or hopes for their child’s future. There’s no wrong way…only what feels right for your family.

In the End, Love Matters Most

Long after the baby name lists are gone and birth announcements are posted, what your child will remember is how loved they felt growing up.

The cuddles.
The late nights.
The sacrifices.
The laughter.
The way mom always showed up.

So whether your baby’s name means love or not, they will grow up knowing it …because you live it every single day.

And if you’re still searching, maybe one of these names will speak to your heart.

And if not? That perfect name might just come when you least expect it.
