For a variety of
reasons lately I have been researching baby names. I’m not married so obviously
I’m not having a kid so let’s just get that out there now. However I have been
tasked with researching and finding hip and eccentric names for future
children. What a journey it has been! I don’t know where to start so I will go
with the most intriguing part of my research first.
I have heard of this
phenomenon before but never actually processed it as truth. From looking into
baby names and asking other human beings on planet Earth their opinion, it has
come to my attention that a majority of ladies have been pondering this
question for some time now and have a short list of names they love. These ladies
also guard these names as a mother bear does her cubs. The fact that I am
Bertram Leonard Brandon the third and have been requested to name my kid the 4th,
I haven’t agonized over what to name my kid. The only part I’ve debated is when
to tell my future wife our kid needs to be named Bert. I’m thinking after we
get married is when I give her the news.
Now when searching for
creative names, you can go in a variety of different styles. You can research
constellations, Greek mythology, minerals, pick a century and research popular
names by era, fruit, number, celebrity choices, cities and countless others. I
may or may not have looked at every French inspired name for my ambitious
research. I have compiled a short list of names for your reading pleasure.
Don’t judge too quickly. Let the name marinate a little while in your brain
before coming to any hard conclusions.
Boy names:
Calvin
It means bald but don’t
let that get you down. It’s a solid name and we both know it.
Oscar
Love this name however
not sure it works for my already Sesame Street centric name.
Oliver
Oliver sounds like a
studious young chap who would be more than happy to tutor your son or daughter free
of charge.
Benedict
Benedict Cumberbatch.
Benedict Cumberbatch.
Aladdin
I like it ok?
Noah
Gaston
Great name. Classic. I
know you don’t like it but keep your comments to yourself.
Waltor
If you don’t like this
name, I kindly ask you to leave immediately.
Girl names:
Brooklyn
It’s a city but also works for a future
writer, entrepreneur or architect.
Cassiopeia
A little edgy but with the right family could
work.
Maia
This one is a crowd pleasure let me tell you.
I also had a student named Maia and she was just terrific.
Corona
I’ve received some hate on this one but not
backing down.
Marvel
Enough with the criticisms alright? Just
think it over.
Reagan
Means “little ruler” and also name of one of
the daughter’s in King Lear
Austin
Love cities as names and love Austin
Madeleine
My niece is named Madeleine and I’ve got no
beef with her.
Rylee
Another fan favourite and old student of
mine.
Kennedy
This one is rising in my books.
Which one is my top
pick? YOU THINK I’D SHARE THAT SECRET?! It’s not on this list but it’s a good one
though but need to keep it under wraps. I’ve never met someone with this name
and it works for a boy or a girl but I’m leaning girl. If you have any interesting
baby names you would like to share, let me know.
