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!
