This is our very first list and we share it with you in the hopes you may find your future baby name. If you ever pick a baby name that you found in this blog, please let us know with a tweet.

1. Adrienne (f)
   This is a sweet and classy name, no frills and no fuss. It rolls so nicely off the tongue like a gentle wave. Adrienne is a chilled out individual with good manners and a level-headed approach to life.
2. Blaze (unisex) For a boy or girl, this could be a warm and fiery name. This is the name for a trail-blazing kid who sets trends and is never afraid to speak their mind. This child is strong and true of heart.
3. Hestia (f) This is the perfect summer baby name. Linked to fire, hearths, stars... this name illuminates. This is a name that radiates light and with The Fault in Our Stars becoming more popular than ever, people will probably be wanting star-inspired names. This is someone who will bring warmth to your home and your heart.
4. Keith (m) This is a Scottish name, perfect for a little boy living in the countryside. The meaning of the name links to forests and so would be perfect perhaps for an outdoorsy family. 
5. Indigo (unisex) Indigo is a lovely, deep shade of blue. This could be the name for a child with a poetic soul. It could be shortened to Indi/Indy. 
6. Lucian (m) Lucian is a soft French name. This could be the name for a baby held in high esteem. It could be spelled Lucien. Alternatives for a girl: Lucienne, Lucianne.
7. Raphael (m) In Hebrew this name means 'God has healed' and is set to rise in popularity this year, though it still isn't topping baby name charts. This is perfect for the child or artsy parents. 
8. Sterling (unisex) This is the name for a strong child, male or female. 
9. Ursula (f) Though Ursula may be the villain of The Little Mermaid, I feel that this name is due for a bit of a Renaissance. It's a very pretty name with plenty of potential. The name means 'little bear' and could be the title of a beloved daughter.
10. Gareth (m) The name, meaning gentle, goes back into the realm of myth. Gareth is the name of a knight of the Round Table in Arthurian Legend. Gareth is a name to give a child you wish to grow up with a strong will and sense of bravery.

Ezra

Our awesome name for today is Ezra. 

Although it's usually a boy name, this could easily be used for a girl. The "a" on the end softens the name somewhat to create a really cool name. This could be the name of a rock and roll kid. This Hebrew name is far from common and would make a great name for a child with sisters whose name also end in 'a' as it could compliment the names of the other siblings well. It's a really cool name if you're looking for something Biblical but it also sounds kind of modern and trendy at the same time. The name Ezra has a really warm feeling to it and  could be the name for a trend setting kid.

If you pick the name Ezra for your baby because of this blog, tweet us and let us know!

Callix

Looking for a cute name for a baby boy?

Why not try Callix.
Other spellings: Calix, Callyx, Calyx. 

Some offered meanings of the name Callix are 'source of life' and 'very handsome' and it's a very uncommon name. You can bet there won't be any other kids called Callix in his class. This name, at present, is almost non existent in the US. It's very cute, like a more modern version of the name Callum, with with a more modern sound via the use of a hard 'x' on the end of the name. This could be a very cool, rock and roll kind of name for the right kid.
