One of the biggest decisions parents have to make is choosing a name for their child. Brett Young and his wife Taylor, who are expecting a baby girl in early fall, started thinking of names for their future children before they were even pregnant, but they’re still in the decision making process for their daughter’s name. Brett says, “Both me and my wife had like running lists but neither of us had the name. You know, it was just whenever we would think of or see something we liked, it’d go into the boy column or the girl column. And so what was interesting is when we found out it was a girl we went and A/B’ed our girl column and a lot of them were the same.”
It’s definitely a good problem to have that so many of their name choices match, but Brett says, “The problem with that is that now you have a ton that you have to whittle down. The good news is, is we’re whittling down from names we both had in lists. But we’re still narrowing. We’re not quite there yet.”
Some parents choose to wait until the baby is born to choose a name, but Brett says, “I think the fun thing about naming a child is, I’m not one of those people that thinks you have to see the baby’s face before you know what their name is. I think they become their name. So it’s gonna be fun watching her grow into whatever her name ends up being.”
As Baby Girl Young’s birthday gets closer and closer, Brett is busy touring the country, promoting his latest single, “Catch,” and his latest album, Ticket to L.A..
