November Baby Name Roundup!

So, we've done a few of these already. The idea behind these posts is to round up a few names that are really unusual but oh so cool. Here are some of the names I've found and loved recently. If you like them, feel free to use them. I'd honestly love it if you found the name of your future child in here. If you ever do, let me know by tweeting me.
  1. Renwick (m) This is an old English name now rather lost to the world. This is a good name for a boy born to a family living in the country looking for a name rich in history.
  2. Sabine (f) This is a name for a strong woman with big plans. It's an alternative to Sabrina.
  3. Pascal (m) Female version: Pascale. Good for a child born at Easter. This is a classy, European name.
  4. Thalia (f) This is an old name that fits so well in modern settings. The name means 'to flourish/bloom' so this is a floral name without it being too flowery. It is also the name of the Muse of comedy and poetry.
  5. Thorne (unisex) Though this name leans towards being masculine, it's a great name that could be given to a girl if a feminine name isn't wanted. This is a strong name.
  6. Valentina (f) Coming from the word 'Valentine' this is the name for a child who is loved, great for a baby born in February. 
  7. Nikolai (m) The Polish meaning of this name is 'victorious' and so the name is a strong one.
  8. Martina (f) A feminine version of the name 'Martin' which comes from the planet Mars meaning 'of Mars', the name for a strong warrior.
  9. Bram (m) The shorter, hipper version of 'Abraham' made famous by Bram Stoker.
  10. Adria (f) This is the feminine version of the name Adrian and comes from the city of Adria.

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.

Phoenix

Sometimes a baby can signal a new start, a new beginning.

The name 'Phoenix' is perfect for this. (Fee-nix)
The name relates to the Phoenix, a bird-like creature in old mythology who would burst into flame and be re-born after death. The name has strong connections to immortality and eternity. It is a name with strong and positive meaning. This name is old and has a real magical flare.

Phoenix is a great Pagan style name and it's great because it's unisex so it can be used for any baby regardless of gender.
