113+ Earthy Baby Names Inspired by Nature
Got burning questions? We have answers!
Looking for a one-of-a-kind name for your one-of-a-kind baby? To choose a unique baby name, look into names from various cultures, languages, and historical periods. You can use your interests to inspire a baby name, like nature-inspired or literary monikers.
For an extra special name, consider combining elements of different names to create a totally original one. For example, you could blend the names of family members or combine syllables from different names you like to make a brand spanking new one. You may also want to stay away from uber popular names.
Check out websites like the Social Security Administration's Baby Names database to see the most common names from the past few years – that way, you can choose something different!
There’s a moment in time where you can call your baby “Cheese” or “”Bethany” and it’ll mean the same difference to them, but that changes around 6 to 9 months of age.
One study conducted by researchers at the University of Iowa examined infants' responses to their own names using brainwave recordings. The study found that by 7 months of age, infants demonstrated a distinct brain response when hearing their own name compared to other names (like Cheese!) or non-name sounds.
If you’re wondering if there’s a deadline to name your baby by, the answer is sort of (and it depends on where you live). In the United States, for example, the timeframe for registering a birth and officially naming a baby varies by state. Generally, parents have several weeks to a few months to complete the birth registration process and choose a name for their child. However, the specific deadlines can vary, so be sure to check your state’s requirements.
Are you unsure of the girl baby names you’ve seen, but also feel like boy baby names are lacking something? If so, a unisex baby name could be perfect for your little! A unisex baby name is a name that can be given to a child regardless of their gender (that being said, any name can be unisex since this is your baby, your rules). Some examples of unisex names are Jordan, Taylor, Morgan, Casey, and Avery.
