Cool Baby Names of February

Cool Baby Names 2018

February may be the shortest month, but it had a *lot* of super cool names. Here are a few of our faves, although it was really hard to choose between all these

  1. Last month we loved several old-fashioned names – this month didn’t disappoint with Eudora, Colette and Clyde!
  2. Two brand new names that are kind of the same but also ultra unique: Alban and Ashlan. Never heard either of these before, which makes them extra cool.
  3. Winter is dragging on forever here in Chicago, but we’re staring to see more sunny days and temps above freezing… so we are super digging the springy vibe of the name Meadow.
