New Names I am Loving Lately

These are names I have just recently fallen in love with and I thought I would share them with you! Girls: 1. Gwyna - I love the name Gwen/Gwyn but not on its own and I don't like the names that it is used as a nickname for. I was thinking about Gwen/Gwyn and just thought why not Gwyna.  2. Maewyn - I have liked this name for a while, but I have just recently started loving it. I love a good Mae name, because Mae names are beautiful and Mae is a family name for me. 3. Clara - I have always liked this classic name, but I find it much more charming and elegant than I did before. 4. Ida - It sounds so spunky, short and sweet. My grandmother's middle name is Idabell and this is would be a wonderful tribute to her. 5. Farren - I love girls' names that have the -Ren- sound in them and this name sounds very light and whimsical to me. Boys: 6. Sydney - This is a family name for me, so I have always had this name in the back of my mind. It sounds handsom

Aberforth - this name has an unknown meaning, but I think it is a really cool name. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015. 3. Fred - Fred and George are my favorite characters from this series. It is a short form of a few possible names with several possible meanings: "peaceful ruler", "elf" and "counsel", "strength", or "will, desire". It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015. 4.

Favorites from Harry Potter

by Susanna Marie This is a list of my favorite girls' names from the Harry Potter series. J. K. Rowling did an amazing job naming her characters and many of the names are awesome and unique names that would definitely be usable as baby names. Girls: 1. Hermione - I couldn't do a top ten harry potter name's without mentioning this name. This name is from Greek mythology and is the name of the wife of Leontes in Shakespeare's "The Winter Tale". It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015. 2. Lavender - This is one of my all time favorite girls' names. It is the name of the plant and the color. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015. 3. Luna - She is one of my favorite characters from this series and this is a beautiful name. It means "the moon" in Latin and she was the Roman goddess of the moon. It is currently ranked 110 for 2015. 4. Rowena - The meaning is uncertain, but it possibly means "fame" and "joy, bliss".

Name of the Week

Ursa Ursa is the name of two constellations: Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. It means "Bear" in Latin. Ursa has never been in the top 1000 in the United States. It would make a great alternative to names like Ava, Ella, Leah, and Nora. I personally love this name. If anyone wants to you can comment below and tell me what you think of this name.
