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?

I love name Serina! We have a Skyla and a Savannah, if I had another girl that would be my go to name. But I think we are done… 😀 Wish I saw this list just a few years ago!
