BEST OF "Baby Names I Love But...."

The tag "Baby Names I Love But...." has YouTubers sharing lists of baby names they won't use, might use, will use and even describing how they chose the names they did use.  As we've mentioned, the discovery of a name we've never heard is one of the best things about joining the naming community. As we enjoyed watching these baby name videos, we collected the BEST OF "Baby Names I Love But...."


September and Tuesday

Hannah Carter shared these gems. Both "time" inspired, and certainly unique. We see August all the time, sitting in the Top 200 for boys. Why not September? Both of these brilliant picks currently sit outside the Top 1000.

Charley, Evan and Billie

These gender neutral names come from Brye Ashley, who admits loving "little boy" names for little girls. Very on trend, as we know there are more girls being named versions of  'Charlie' these days than boys.

Suede, Lynwood and McConaughey

Isabella Sainz gave us three names we'd truly never heard before. We were fascinated to learn that Lynwood is a family name~ so cool! And yes, Matthew McConaughey is the inspiration behind this one.

Harris

Sarah - This Mama Life brings us this surname to use first. We checked it with the SSA stats and found that it just once cracked the Top 1000 rising to 969 in 2016. Harrison is a huge hit, so we could totally see this gem making a big move!

Augustine

What a regal alt to the rising August! Tiffany Brito suggested this distinguished little boy's name and we are intrigued. It seems quite masculine and fresh, but with a classic feel. Auggie, Gus, Tino... clever nn possibilities here.

Nyle and Callahan

Kelsey Simo  provided another name we'd not before considered. Nyle is short and smooth, and not so common, falling outside of the Top 1000. It fits with the one-syllable trend we are seeing for boys. She also had a very special naming story to wrap her inspirational video, check out her thoughts on a name for baby Cal.

Audie 

This name for a baby girl was mentioned Kailyn Cash, and yes, she acknowledged that it was like the car, but her pronunciation and emphasis on spelling it with an -ie ending made it sound like quite a sweet little name.

Wesson, Bradlee and Cronan  

FeliciaNicholle truly brings unique names to another level! Wesson was discussed with Smith, of course, and someone in the comments actually knew twins with that name pair. As for Bradlee, it would be for a little girl. How sweet! Glad she got back to us on the spelling of her "Cronan." So many uncommon names in her collection, we'd definitely tune in for another edition!

Let us know! Tell us all about your "Baby Names I Love But...."

Boozy Baby Names: Cheers to Some Spirited Choices

  With craft beers, whisky flights and rosé all the rage these days, we (well Mom) had to wonder... are there any boozy baby names that could actually work?  The Pie was  not  in on this post (she's 13). I started thinking about the idea of liquor inspired names as I pondered the popularity of Porter. It's a boy's name on the rise, and I just kept seeing and hearing it  everywhere  and wondered, why? The connection I kept making was to Porter, a style of beer. That might just be my background in the bar biz, as the name actually originates from an English and Scottish surname, it's an occupational name meaning "gatekeeper" or "doorkeeper." In other languages Porter translates to a person who carries the load, or transfers objects for others. Porter beer was developed in London and is a dark variety from brown malt. It's name derived from the popularity it had with Porters. In fact, I found that the story of Stout and Porter comes from the fact th...

Name Watch 2020: Names for Boys that End with -s

Boy's names that end in the letter "s" are everywhere!  At least it seems that way. Of course with James being perhaps the most popular boy's name of all time, you'd think that -s enders would be all over the charts. Not exactly. There's Lucas of course, coming in at #8 in 2018, but then you have to go all the way to #49 and classic Thomas before you see another boy's name that ends in -s.  So why then, does it feel like we are seeing them everywhere? We are seeing these -s ending names  trend into a few categories. Nature Names An earthy vibe is something we've long seen in naming, yet don't tend to find in the Top 100. Last year we predicted that we'd see some on the rise, yet these boho names still don't top the charts. Perhaps these -s ending nature names will move on up this year. Rivers Woods Brooks Parks Moss Waters Skies Banks Fields Surnames Last names first is a favorite of ours, and many of the names we...
