September Unique Baby Name List

Once a month I like to create a little list of ten names that I've really been liking lately. If you're looking for a cute baby name, then maybe this list will hold the name for you:


  1. Dorian (m) A young, attractive man with plenty of charisma. This name is old fashioned and effortlessly vintage.
  2. Kismet (f) This name means destiny/fate and makes a really lovely name for a child.
  3. Morgan (unisex) The name means 'bright sea' and is great for a child regardless of their gender.
  4. Malorie (f) The bearer of this name must be strong of heart.
  5. Demetri (m) A child with this name will bring you a great deal in life.
  6. Leila (f) This is a great name for a daughter born at night.
  7. Nyx (unisex) Anothe great name for a child born at night, but it works for any gender. 
  8. Petra (f) The feminine version of the name Peter but way cooler. It means 'stone/rock' and therefore bestows strength.
  9. Orion (m) This one is for a child of the stars.
  10. Quinn (unisex) This is for a child who is just and good. It can be given to a child regardless of gender.

'Blue' Names.

So I was throwing around the idea of colour based names like 'violet' or 'scarlet' and decided to do a little round up of names related to different colours. I've decided to start with the colour blue. The colour blue is calm and natural. I've listed a bunch of names below that are mostly unisex.

So here are some names linked to the colour 'blue':

  • Blue
  • Indigo
  • Inkley
  • Skye
  • Azure
  • Aqua
  • River
  • Ocean
  • Azurro
  • Neela
  • Mavi
  • Teal

Tinkerbell

Okay, I had a weird moment the other day.
I've been thinking a lot about themes of childhood and innocence lately for one of my novels and amidst rehearsals for a play of Peter Pan I've found myself warming to the name Tinkerbell. Automatically I was like 'Woah, that's too out there' but then, is it?
Everyone is getting so experimental with names these days and the name Tinkerbell, though rather iconic, is rather cute. I'm not sure my partner would appreciate the name or agree to it, and maybe it's just a fleeting fancy, but it's a really cute name for the right family.

Tinkerbell, of course, is the fairy from Peter Pan. Our belief in her is paramount and she is a trust-worthy best friend. Her name is one for a loyal child who is brave and ready for adventure!

Some alternatives: Belle, Bella, Pixie, Inkley.

Aradia (ah-rah-dee-ahh) is a beautiful name with a feminine yet strong twirl.

In classic literature Aradia is seen as the daughter of Diana, the Goddess of Hunting and the Forest realms. The name is popular with Neo-Pagans and modern parents. Aradia is a sunny name for a bold girl.
