Name Lists

Star Wars is upon us. AGAIN! With The Rise of Skywalker coming out in a matter of weeks (and The Mandalorian hitting us right in the streaming services earlier this week), we’ve got that galaxy far, far away on the brain. After 8 episodes, 2 anthology movies, television shows, numerous cartoons on cable and the […]

Modern industrial design is known for its juxtaposition of repurposed found materials and sleek modern minimalism. We’ve taken the cool sheen of polished concrete floors and the rough edges of exposed ceiling beams and translated them into baby names that give off the same restrained edginess of a warehouse-turned-loft.  So, lovers of all things industrial, […]

Today is Halloween, and that means we’re all entitled to a good scare… and too much candy!  Since babies are more sweet than frightening (most of the time), our list today just might give you a toothache. To get you in the spirit for the spookiest and sugariest of days, we’re sharing our favorite candy-inspired […]

October makes us think of witches and pumpkins and spells and ghouls, and also of Harry Potter! J.K. Rowling’s beloved books are filled with magic and mystery and have captured the imaginations of children (and adults) the world over. But they are also filled with a wealth of great baby names. Some might be a […]

Jewel tones are taking over the fashion and design worlds at the moment. Living Coral is Pantone’s color of the year, citrine yellow dominated the spring runways, and emerald has quickly become a home-decor neutral.

Parents find name inspiration in what they love, so perhaps it’s no surprise that millennials–also known as the avocado-toast generation–are increasingly naming their babies after food. As foodies ourselves, we can’t say we’re opposed to the food-name trend.  And as summer comes to an end, we’re feeling a special fondness for the sweet, fresh tastes […]

These days, more and more of us are looking up for baby name inspiration. The night sky is inspiring celebrity parents and has led to a serious celestial baby name boom. Can we say Luna?! While night-sky-themed name lists abound, we’re taking our cue from actual star names. Did you know there’s a group of […]

It’s back to school time again, and we’re feeling inspired by the world’s great minds. We all want to raise critical thinkers. . . but we don’t all want to name our little lover of wisdom Socrates or Voltaire. So here are some “smart” baby names taken from philosophers and intellectuals that give just a […]

The Star Wars universe is teeming with character names, from the classic (Luke) to the absurd (Jar Jar Binks or Count Dooku). Though Leia and Han were names in their own right well before George Lucas gave the world A New Hope in 1977, they are names so closely associated with the series to almost […]

US National Park maps with pronouncements like “Adventure Awaits” are adorning the walls of nurseries everywhere these days, and we think there must be something to it. Parents wanting to instill the explorer spirit in their little one, expose them to nature, or even just get them outside may find inspiration in the names of […]
