150 Unique and Meaningful Baby Names 2021
Choosing a name for your baby can be one of the most daunting things to do. There are so many names out there, how are you expected to pick the right ONE?? When I was choosing names for my daughters I looked at millions of name lists! However, I found that when I saw a name that I liked and looked into it further I usually hated the meaning behind the name. Unique and meaningful baby names are important to me. I feel that their name should represent them as a person so I wouldn’t want their name to mean something insignificant. So why not choose a name that signifies their potential personality traits according to their unique, zodiac destiny?

It is always fun to look at baby names. We always tried to choose names that were not super popular, but also, not something that would be hard to pronounce or spell.
Nikki Wayne
Oh! Is this one of the signs that I need to have a baby, again? LOL.. but.. this list is helpful gonna save it.
Marysa
These are nice lists of names. I like that they are unique but not strange, and that they are meaningful. Choosing a name is so difficult!
Desiree
These are all so great! What a list!
Amber Myers
These are a great list of names. Some of them are a bit too out there for me, but I’ve always been more of a simple person. It’s why my kids are Natalie and Tommy. Simple. And not spelled in a strange way.
