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.

Cool Baby Names of January

Welcoming 2018! This year started off with even more quirky, cool, totally unique baby names! We’re only 1 month in so we haven’t been able to pinpoint any significant name trends yet, but here are three things that stood out to us about this month’s batch of babies!

  1. There’s something delightfully old-fashioned and charming about several of these names… Cosette, Whit, Alton & Gideon. What do you think?
  2. Viva l’Italia! We have amore for these two names: Tosca means “from Tuscany” and Gioia, an Italian name which means “joy.”
  3. We’re very seriously hoping little girl Ripley is named after Sigourney Weaver’s character in Alien… but if not, it’s still a super rad name!

The 100 Most Unique Baby Names of 2017

 

As 2017 comes to an end, we gathered up the 100 craziest, coolest most unique names we saw this year!  Here’s the three major trends we noticed in 2017:

  1. The year of Z! Z ruled over 2017 with standouts like Zowie, Zeth and Zahryn leading the charge.
  2. K names were a klose second. (Sorry not sorry.) K showed up all over, at the beginning, the end, and in the middle of *tons* of names, Kasen, Lyrik, and Skai are just a few. (Check out previous months for even more K-names!)
  3. Our overwhelming takeaway from this year was you guys are getting more and more creative, we saw more names for the first time than in ANY other year, and we’ve been open for a loooong time, people!

Here are the 20 most unique baby names we saw in November! It’s our busiest season, leading up to the holidays, so we are seeing more cool and crazy names than ever before.

3 baby name trends we noticed this month:

  1. Strong boy names and fancy girlie names – we’re fans of both with a shoutout to Colt, Dutch, Quaid for the little dudes and Elliette, Athalia and Pippa for the little ladies.
  2. O-K! K names (and names featuring a K) ruled this month with Kael, Kendy, Kaizo and Skai. Is K taking Z’s throne as the go to letter for baby names? We’ll have to wait and see…

October 2017’s Coolest Baby Names

October is the best month, full of tricks and treats and unexpected things around every corner… so it’s no shock that these 20 names we printed are some of the most surprising we’ve seen all year!

3 baby name trends we noticed this month:

  1. Rock and roll is here to stay! We see you, Legend and Vedder! We’re pretty big fans of both John and Eddie, so these two cool baby names have our official stamp of approval!
  2. Although part of the reason we love October is all the horror movies… we are giving cinema in general a shout out this month for the names Vesper (namesake of James Bond’s special martini) and Lyndon (the protagonist of Kubrick’s 1975 film Barry Lyndon).
  3. Third month straight we’ve seen more brand new names than ever… add Sibilina, Solley, Elonna, Vannevar, Sheeka, Hyleigh, Kieghan, Sashu, Rasmus and Barlow to our list of “first ever” sightings!

5 Ways To Celebrate Shark Week

5-Ways-to-Celebrate-Shark-Week2Shark week is almost here and these are 5 of our favorite fun finned ways to get in the sharky spirit:

1. Make your very own cute shark out of paper! All you need is glue, scissors, a couple clothespins and some heavy paper for this jawesome shark craft.

2. Dress up your pet! The cat dressed as a shark riding a Roomba is one of the all time great vids, re-enact in in your own home with this shark hat for your shark-cat!

3.Claim your piece of the beach in true shark style! Go for a swim with our Personalized Shark Bait Beach Towel ($40).

4. Enjoy some screen and maybe some screams by watching a shark movie – our vote is obviously Shark Tale for family movie night, and after the kiddos hit the hay you can go with the obvious choice, Jaws, or one of the many newer, even scarier shark flicks: Deep Blue Sea (sharks and Samuel L. Jackson? um, yes please), Open Water (almost too terrifying!), Sharknado (no comment necessary), or 2016’s The Shallows.

5. Feast like a shark on this shark shaped fruit salad! Celebrate the yummy fruits of summer by making this scarily delicious Sharkmelon!
Shark week kicks off this Sunday – click here for the full schedule  (Michael Phelps vs. a shark, C’MON!) and make sure to check out our other personalized shark-riffic gift ideas here!
