Unique Baby Names

I love looking up new baby names even when I’m not thinking about getting pregnant anytime soon! Baby names are such a fun past time. That’s why I have a new list of baby names for you to look over. Even if you’re not thinking about getting pregnant either ;). You can let your pregnant friend know some of your favorite names and who knows, maybe they’ll choose one you suggested!

For Boys

Aurelian

This is a beautiful boy name meaning “golden”. This is a perfect name for your golden child because it is so unique you definitely won’t be hearing anybody else with this name. This name became popular by the Roman emperor by the same name who had many successes. His people even took to calling him “master and god” so your child can become a great leader with this name!

Caspian

This name is inspired by the Caspian Sea which is a salty sea between Asian and Europe. The root of the name means “white” so this is a perfect name if you’re planning to name your kids with color names. If you have ever read The Chronicles of Narnia then you’ll likely remember a Prince Caspian which made this name popular, but is still trendy.

Leif

This name comes from Viking origins so you know your boy will be sure to never regret this name. It’ll also be perfect if you plan on naming any other kids with forest or plant names because this would fit in so perfectly. This masculine moniker means “heir” or “descendant” so your little boy could be reminded of those who came before him to appreciate his ancestors.

Oberon

Oh what to say about this one. Such a fun name for a boy because there’s some cute nicknames like Obie or Ron. Anyway, the first time we see this name is in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Oberon being the Kind of the Fairies, this name will surely turn heads at the playground.

Zephyr

I love this name mostly because Z is such a fun letter to name your kid! So unique! This name comes from Greek mythology where the Greek god Zepyyrus was the god of the west wind and the messenger of spring. The name Zephyr means “west wind”. A perfect name if your baby is born in the spring time.

For Girls

Elowen

This name comes from the Cornish language meaning “elm tree”. This name has been growing in popularity over a few years, but it’s still pretty unique. This name gives off fairycore vibes and it’ll definitely encourage your child to go into the outdoors and explore. Another name if you plan to give your kids plant/forest names!

Isolde

This beautiful, unique name is inspired by the tragic heroine from Arthurian legend. There are a few variant spellings for this name like Iseult meaning “fair lady”, but if you spell it Isolde then you also get the meaning of “iron ruler” or “ice ruler”. So I’d say your daughter is in store for a leadership role in her future.

Liora

This is a Hebrew name meaning “my light”. I love that symbolism because your baby can be the light of your life! This beautiful name is definitely unique as in 2021, only 66 girls were named Liora.

Marigold

Another plant name for your family! This is a flower name with a sunny feel! This name is of English origin meaning “golden flower”. The Marigold was also the symbol of the Virgin Mary, so if you’re religious or not, this would be a perfect for your little golden flower!

Seraphina

This name is of Hebrew origin derived from the seraphim, the highest order of angels. It means “burning ones” probably in reference to the angels that this name is from. A perfect name for your sweet, little angel!

Gender-Neutral

Arden

This unique name is of British origin meaning “valley of the eagle” or “great forest”. This comes directly from the forest of Arden located in the English West Midlands. Shakespeare uses this forest as the backdrop in his comedy “As You Like It”. Whether you love Shakespeare or not, this name is sure to be a hit in the classroom.

Echo

This name is from Greek mythology, and is the name of a nymph. This name is unrequited love personified. Meaning “reflected sound” the myth goes is that a nymph named Echo pined for her lover until just her voice remained. Tragic, but this is a cute name for a boy or a girl! Just help your kid through any tragedy he or she may suffer.

Haven

What a great name for the kid who loves to help others. Meaning “a safe place” or “harbor” your child is sure to be the first one that other kids will come running to for help or safety.

Quincy

This is a sought after unique name because there are few names that start with Q. There is some dispute on the meaning of the name, however. It could mean “the fifth” or “from the orchard of the quince tree”. I say you can choose if you choose this name for your kid!

Rowan

This name is of Irish origin meaning “little red-haired one” and also the name of a tree. A cute name for your little bundle of joy! This would be perfect if you suspect your baby may grow up to be a red head!

Names for Life

One thing I think we forget is that these names are with our kids for life. We love to name them some cute names and forget that they’re going to be adults one day with these names. So just make sure you name your precious little one a name that they will be proud of well into adulthood.

Have a blessed day.
