Since they are movie stars and big time celebs, will they choose a baby name that is “weird” or will they choose a more “traditional” name? According to Jennifer Garner, they will choose a more common name. But we’ll just have to wait and see…

Choosing unusual baby names to honor your baby’s uniqueness: know where to draw the line!

One of the traditional joys of parenthood is naming your baby. Your little one should have a name which expresses the specialness of this blessed bundle of happiness, yet to be born. Some parents choose names of religious or family significance. Others like the idea of a unique name for their child, never to be mistaken for another.

Finding just the right name can take months of poring over lists of baby names. You pick up the baby name booklet at the supermarket checkout, trying each name out for cadence, meaning and expressiveness. You notice celebrity children’s names, rolling them around in your mind. No, you decide that won’t do either. You want unusual baby names, a name that you won’t find held by any other child in your town.

This quest for the unusual baby name has led to some pretty remarkable results, some of which are not appreciated by your child after a certain age. Here’s a good example, a true story, BTW. In a small Texas town, one couple agonized over finding an unusual baby name that no other child would have. After months of searching every list under the sun, they finally settled on Espn! What does this name mean, you might well ask. The genesis was that such a name would honor the child’s father, who was a true sports fanatic, devoted to the ESPN channel! Knock me over with a feather, please. It’s hard to imagine how this unusual baby name might be pronounced, much less the teasing the poor child might suffer when he attained school age. Besides the difficulty in pronunciation, might not the child get a weird complex over being named for a TV sports channel?

Hopefully, this example makes the point. When searching for unusual baby names, cadence counts. The way the name rolls off your tongue is a good indication of future acceptability to your child. If people are puzzled as to pronunciation, it’s a good bet you should toss that idea.

In a desperate venture for unusual baby names, try to avoid names which are too cute or artsy. In other words, Muffin may be cute through the toddler years, but is best left for a family nickname. Names like Sunbeam, Rainbow and Snowflake may bring smiles to doting aunts, uncles and grandparents, it won’t fly when your child grows up.

Don’t worry. When you ‘try on’ hundreds of unusual baby names, you will find that perfect expression of what your child means to you. One your child will love too.
