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...."

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&#

Names YOU Love - Fan Favorites of 2021

 We thought it would be cool to share with you YOUR favorite names of 2021. We did a similar post in 2019 and it is rewarding to reflect on the changing trends and look at the new data and analytics. In this collection we will share with you the videos, pins, tweets and posts that YOU'VE enjoyed the most this year. We can't seem to agree on which social platform is our favorite. We started out with the intention of building a Youtube channel. After watching and laughing hysterically as gals shared, "names I love but..." we thought,  we could DO this .  But we didn't want to be in our videos. Now that we've been at it for a while, we realize that was likely a big mistake, and maybe someday we face reveal and start talking names....maybe. But we are okay with the fun we are having now as totally self-proclaimed "Baby Name Specialists."  We love creating simple tweets and name art to post on instagram. The occasional blog idea comes to one of us, but ev
