Congratulations! You’re expecting a baby! Now, the question is, what are you going to name this new addition to the family? Babies are super cute, cuddly (sometimes loud or smelly, lol) and make our hearts fill with joy, but you’ve got to have something just perfect to name this sweet bundle of love, right? So what are parents to do when they need to get help choosing a name that’s just right? Well, there are a lot of helpful resources out there from baby name books to taking a quick flip through magazines with celebrity names, author’s names, names of music artists in the list of Grammy Awards winners, or you can turn to thoughtful bloggers who love to spend their time collecting character-building names for you to thumb through and choose from. Aren’t we just the sweetest? Wink, wink. Ok, I know it isn’t necessarily going to be “hip” to say you chose your child’s name from a list on your favorite blog, but I must say… it would be very cool to see children growing up in a few years with these names and think, maybe, I had a chance to play a small part in suggesting it.
If you have ideas currently stirring in your mind as you wonder what the best name could be to give to your new little boy or girl, you might keep in mind the possibility of choosing a name that works well for a boy or a girl. There are many names out there that cross over and could fit beautifully with your new baby’s personality, even amidst not knowing whether or not it will be a boy or a girl right up until the very moment your baby gives its first cry when it is born. If you are one of those parents who chose not to know the gender until it is born, then this may be the best route for you to go when choosing a name.

These should give you inspiration and lots to think about as you are planning and anticipating the birth of your new bundle of joy! Choose from 21 different names for girls and 21 unique names for boys, along with a variety of 8 names that are suitable for a boy or a girl.
