Baby Name Jar · Original worksheet · 13 October 2026
Family-name story card
Print and keep on paper. Ask for a story without promising a name, then let the parents choose together.
Person we would like to remember, and relationship
Their name, preferred spelling and nickname
A memory or story we want to keep
Options: exact name, middle name, initial, memory or another way
Full-name example and initials we want to try
How each parent feels, without a score or vote
What we still need to ask, and what we will tell family
An initial or memory can have a personal connection without proving a shared origin or meaning. This is a conversation prompt, not a naming rule. No family details are entered or saved on this worksheet page.
