Make It Personal: Pairing Names with Keepsakes

Whether you’ve chosen the name already or are still narrowing it down, this stage of pregnancy is all about connection—and what better way to celebrate your baby’s name than with a keepsake that matches?

Here are some simple ways to honor your baby’s chosen (or potential) name with a meaningful ultrasound experience:

• Heartbeat Animal with Name Tag
   Select one of our heartbeat keepsakes and customize it with baby’s name or initial. The plush holds their heartbeat—and their identity.
  
• Ultrasound Print for the Nursery
   Frame a high-definition image from your HDLive session under their name for a stunning, personal wall piece.
  
• Keepsake Box with Sun-Themed Touches
   Create a memory box with ultrasound prints, name announcement cards, and little symbols like seashells or pressed flowers to reflect the season they were named in.
  

Every keepsake tells a story. Let it be one that starts with the perfect name and the perfect moment.
