JANUARY NAMES
According to Nameberry.com, those people expecting a baby in January of 2021, may want to consider names that reflect the season that they are born. As January is a reflection of winter and new beginnings, these names may be those you want to consider when naming your daughter:
- Aurora: Meaning dawn...(I guess you could also name your daughter Dawn).
- Nova: Meaning new.
- Nadia: Meaning Hope.
- Hope: Also meaning Hope. Hello.
- Winter: Self explanatory.
For boys, names in January are sometimes related to famous figures born in January:
- Alexander: For Alexander Hamilton
- Edgar: For Edgar Allen Poe
- Winter: For obvious reasons.
- Franklin
- Lorenzo
LOOKING FOR UNIQUE?
I can see why these names have never made it to the top five. If this is your name, you are....unique.
Snowdrop. (Need I say more).
Eirlys. This is a Welsh name also meaning Snowdrop. I like it. If my name was actually Snowdrop, I would probably legally change it to Eirlys, or have people call me Snow for short. On a side note, my Grandmother's maiden last name was Snow.
For boys, Wolf is sort of a cool name, but their are other names I've never heard like:
Fintan: meaning white fire or white bull.
Janus: boys name meaning gateway.
What names would you like to see on this list? It's pretty neat. If you're having a baby, and looking for some original, unique, or popular names, this is a great place to look.
