The Animal Adventure range are fully personalised to include the illustrated name, as well as the name origin and meaning. Beneath this you can include a personal message, should you wish. Usually a popular Christening gift, customers tend to include a message such as ‘With lots of love on you Christening day, from Auntie Julie, Uncle Bob, Daniel and Hallie’.

Choosing a name for your new bundle of joy can be an extremely difficult task because, of course, they will have to live with it. When deciding, there are lots of things to consider such as personal preferences, family traditions, surname compatibility, etc. However, you do get those lucky few who know exactly what they are going to name their child. Many parents are drawn to more unusual names, wishing for something more unique, but others find trendy/fashionable names more appealing.
