Are you expecting a baby but stuck on ideas for names? Looking for a name which is unique? Here is a compiled list of boys and girls names which you can try on for size. But before you run off in a hurry, here’s a few tips when looking for unique baby names for your child to make sure you don’t end up with a name that you regret!
How hard is it to spell/pronounce?
If you are looking at unique baby names this should at least be considered. And although it may not be on your list of priorities when searching for a name, take a moment to think about the potential of your kid having to explain their name each time they are introduced or their name is called out in school or at work.
What is the meaning of the name?
This particular list doesn’t come with the meaning of names (sorry!) but if you do some research on good old google you should be able to find out more about the origins and meanings of the names you love.
Check the initials and nicknames
Have a think about all the different variants of the name you are considering. You wouldn’t want to end up with a “Brock Colli” or a “Theresa Green” (read them out loud to get the full effect). You may also want to look at their full name initials to make sure you haven’t formed any unfortunate or rude words!
Does it suit babies AND adults?
Sure, some names are super cute on little babies. You may have friends and family all saying ‘awwwww’, but what about when they are older? Just something to ponder.
Is the name Legal?
Okay you may laugh at this one, but it is possible to end up falling in love with a name which is not legal in your Country or state. But what fool would try and name a child an illegal nickname? Well… lets just say I got quite close to making this mistake. But I’ll save that story for another time.
