Choosing a baby name requires patience , research, and some imagination. You don't want to pick a wild and crazy name that nobody can pronounce, but you also don't want them to be one of four kids in the class with that name. There has to be the right balance to the name selection.

It's also great to make it something with personal meaning to you. Maybe it's your favorite character from your favorite TV show, maybe it's a family name with a deep connection, or maybe it's something from the place you call home.

When looking for a name for your baby girl or baby boy, why not simply look around you? Our beautiful Boise has a ton of names with special meaning to us residents just waiting to be used as a name.
