8 Easy Tips to Pick a Unique Baby Name
- Check Name Popularity
Look up how common a name is. If very few babies have the name, it is truly unique. Websites like Names.darkergreen.com can help. - Mix Family Names
Combine names from your family to make something new. For example:
- Thea + Amy = Tiaamii
- Olivia + Ethan = Olithan
- Avoid Pop Culture Names
Names from TV shows or movies can become very common. For example, “Arya” became popular because of Game of Thrones. - Use Old but Rare Names
Some names were popular a long time ago but are not used much now. Here are some examples:
- Beryl
- Brenda
- Gilbert
- Seth
- Pick a Meaningful Name
Choose a name that means something special. Here are some ideas:
- Places: Palma (like Keegan & Wright’s baby), Oxford, Hudson
- Colors: Sage, Indigo
- Nature: Aspen, River
- Change a Common Name
If you like a common name, you can change it a little to make it unique:
