December Baby Name Roundup!

Hello, name fans!
Looking for a name?
Well here is our round up of cool names that we've been appreciating in the month of December. Here we love Unique Baby Names. If you choose your baby name based on a name found on this blog, tweet us and let us know!

1. Yvaine (f) The name, a mixture of names like Yvonne and Elaine, is a twinkling gem. Made famous from Neil Gaiman's Stardust this is a beautifully starry name. The name means 'evening star' and has a real romantic charm.
2. Calhoun (m) This name is an Irish surname now being introduced as a last name. It serves as a cool variation on the name Callum which has been a bit more popular in recent years. The name means 'from the narrow forest'
3. Isis (f) This is a really strong name as it is the name of an Egyptian Goddess, the Goddess of the moon, sky, magic, motherhood and fertility.
4. Cohen (m) Another name that was previously a surname but is now becoming popular as a first name. It is of Hebrew origin and became popularised by the show The O.C
5. Cosima (f) The name means 'order/beauty' and is a rather elegant name with an Italian twirl.
6. Ivor (m) This is a really strong name that has cropped up all over the world in several cultures and yet it still remains off the radar.
7. Brook (unisex) This can also be spelled as Brooke or changed to Brooks. It was popular in the 90s but is due a renaissance. This is a great nature-based, gender-free name.
8. Zen (unisex) Although a baby is far from calming, especially on first time parents, this is a great name for a Buddhist/spiritual family. The names means 'calm/state of serenity'
9. Lyric (unisex) This is a musical name for the child of poet parents or a baby born into a music family. Could be shortened to 'Lee'
10. Merritt (unisex) From the word 'merit', this could be a great virtue name like 'Faith', 'Hope', 'Honor', 'Valour' etc. This name is absolutely unknown, genderless and fuss free.

Zipporah

This one is really cool and I've never heard a baby with this name.

Here's a Biblical name with a cool edge.
This blog features unique names and this one is truly, truly unique. In the Bible this was the name of the wife of Moses. Unlike some Biblical names, this one doesn't really get thrown around a lot. I first came across it in the film The Prince of Egypt.

The name is sometimes spelled Tzipporah or Zippora. Sephora is a similar-sounding alternative.

Breeze

This one's a really light hearted, simple name.

It's Breeze.
I'm sure I don't have to explain the meaning to you. Nature based names like this are becoming far more popular now. A name like this is a breath of fresh air and is really sweet but also short and snappy which makes it easy to remember.

If you like Breeze you may also like: River, Ocean, Summer, Autumn, Harper, etc.

Quill

Quill is a great name for a baby following the success of Marvel's summer blockbuster hit 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. Having seen Peter Quill, also known as Starlord, take to our screens this could be a really cool name for Marvel fans or for families that love creative writing.

Personally I feel that a name like Quill has real potential to be a popular unisex name. It's a nice alternative to the name Quinn. Marvel Comics are really hot right now. I even know someone with a son called Loki so don't worry about thinking that this name is too out there. Quills are also those beautifully plumed feathered pens so it'd be a great name for parents who are authors themselves or are hoping that their child will have great writing skills.

Everhart

This is one I spotted around the internet and I really like it.

Everhart, though gender neutral, has been suggested for boys. I think it works for anyone. Everhart hints at eternal love though 'hart' also means 'deer/stag' hence the possible masculinity.  It could be shortened to Evan, Hart, Ever etc. This is a really sweet name with a lot of love and potential.

Jude

This one feels a little bit rock and roll.

The name is said to be unisex and it's so rare. I've only heard of two people with the name (yes, one is Jude Law.)
Apparently the name means 'praised' so it could be the name for a baby who will be celebrated and praised on their journey through life. It's one of those cool names that can't really be shortened into something you don't like as much as the whole name itself. The name was popularised song by The Beatles hit 'Hey Jude' and remains cool. It's becoming a little bit more popular at the moment but it's still not overwhelmingly common.
