Bringing a baby into this world is a wonderful and magical feeling, and so is the task of naming them. Although it may seem overwhelming or daunting at first, naming a baby has always been cause for celebration. When it comes to the topic of picking out a favorite, there are some names that stand out, and these names can be inspired by just about anything. Your family tree, favorite TV characters, a name from your favorite book or a random word that just has a special ring to it. The new trend is to give your baby a name that is unique and a little out of the box. With celebrities naming their children “Ace” and “Delty”, we see why this trend has caught on. If you want a quirky and creative name for your little bundle of joy, this is the list for you! Here are some non-traditional names that should be on your radar.
1. Geo
If you’re looking for a name on the gender neutral spectrum, Geo is the perfect name for your little baby boy! The name Geo works as a short form for the well known name George which is more traditional and dated. But it can also be a unique spin on the name Geography. Yes, it’s unconventional but that’s all part of its charm. This name sounds cool on its own and we wouldn’t be surprised if we hear it a lot more over the next few years. So would you add Geo onto your list of baby names?
2. Axl

This chic name hasn’t been overused so it still has a unique spark to it.

Another earthly name for the win. Besides, can you think of a cooler name! Clay used to be a common last name in the past, named after people who worked in the clay or the soil. This made it a popular name in the 1800’s. But now it is making a major comeback. This name also has a unique connection to nature and the earth without being too direct. Would you choose this name for your baby?
6. Baron

Baron is a lesser used regal style name that still has an old world charm to it. Historically, people who hold the title of Baron are referred to as “Lord” and so for any parents who want that royal air about their little one, but don’t want it to be so obvious, this name may just hit the spot.
