Romantic Baby Names for Valentines Babies!





Yes, these names are some of the most famous lovers throughout history, bringing to mind each of their epic, and sometimes tragic, stories.  Although we love the idea of baby Guinevere and baby Lancelot out there runnin' around, here are our top picks for loverly names that are still pretty relevant and unique.



Cleo and Anthony
Cleo (short for Cleopatra in this case) might not be the easiest name to pull off, but it is a strong name, meaning fame and glory! And just think of all the cool black eyeliner tricks she will pull off someday. Anthony is still a very classic boy's name which in Latin means "highly praiseworthy"...no wonder these two got together. 




Honorable mention "Anthony": Tony and Maria from West Side Story (Ouch, my heartstrings!) 



Juliet and Romeo 
Romeo isn't exactly the first name we would think of for a little boy...unless he's breaking hearts left and right in pre-school. But the name Juliet has stood the test of time and is still considered a beautiful and romantic name for a little girl. (We don't know if your version of Romeo and Juliet is the Baz version, but we stand pretty firmly with Leo...you're welcome.) 





Scarlett and Rhett 
We LOVE the name Rhett for a little man.  It's like he was already born with a mustache on a white horse. And the popularity of the name Scarlett has never really faded. Not that you give a damn, but we hope it never does! 





Tristan and Isolde 
Tristan and Isolde are the subject of at least one opera and many, many paintings.  The name Isolde isn't exactly commonplace, but who wants to be another Ashley or Melissa? And the name Tristan originated meaning "Noise of Arms", which really describes the sounds of a 3am feeding of any little man...




Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy
The never-ending love this generation has for Jane Austin will ensure that the popularity of the names Elizabeth and Bennett are not going anywhere. Fitzwilliam may seem a little odd, but the name Darcy for a little man already has our hearts! 


Honorable modern love story mention: Brad and Angelina 

And we can't leave out our pick for last year's most SURPRISING couple: Blake & Gwen! Who would've ever thought these two would find love in such a hopeless place? (Just kidding, NBC, we love the Voice!) We're waiting to see how it works out in 2016 between these two music superstars! Blake is a great name for little guys, and we love Gwen/Gwendolyn for your future pop queen.


Check out more fun ways to celebrate your love on our Valentines Pinterest board,and have a heart-filled very very Happy Valentines Day!

Fall Baby Names


Fall inspired baby names are a cool way to (pumpkin) spice up your search for the perfect thing to call your new P'Baby! Here are eight of our favorite fall baby names - let us know if your little one has a fun seasonal name we missed. We do know an awesome little girl named September, so anything goes!

1. Apple

MEANING: Nature name - seasonal fruit

"Fall" in love with this name because: if it's good enough for Gwyneth, it's good enough for us!

2. Autumn

MEANING: The period from the autumnal equinox to the winter solstice. 

"Fall" in love with this name because: it doesn't get more fall than this!

3. Hawk

MEANING: Nature name - a bird

"Fall" in love with this name because: it comes with a certain bad boy cachet - just like skater king Tony Hawk.

4. Clove

MEANING: Nature name - seasonal spice

"Fall" in love with this name because: it works for both boys & girls - recently gained popularity from The Hunger Games

5. Raven

MEANING: black crow, or glossy black color

"Fall" in love with this name because: it's a little spooky, thanks to Edgar Allan Poe! Also works for either sex. 

6. Sage

MEANING: "wise and knowing"

"Fall" in love with this name because: can't have Thanksgiving without Sage! Another great seasonal name for boys & girls.  Plus, pro snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg is a totally adorable goof.

7. Maple

MEANING: tree name

"Fall" in love with this name because: it's a cool and unique name for a baby girl, although we're not sure what the nickname for Maple is... Actor Jason Bateman named his daughter Maple Sylvie.

8. Sienna

MEANING: Color word: a yellow to reddish orange clay 

"Fall" in love with this name because: the color sienna comes from the Italian city of Siena, where it was produced during the Renaissance. It can range from yellow to brown to orange to red - just like fall foliage!

Scary Baby Names!

Scary baby names? Probably not the first thing a parent-to-be starts considering when picking out what to call their little one. However, for those of you who live for the creepy, spooky, scary things in life - we chose our 13 favorite "scary" baby names! Some of these will always be associated with Halloween, some of them are actually really cute - let us know in the comments if we missed any really good ones or if you gave your P'Baby a spooky name! 

1. Lydia

MEANING: "woman from Lydia"

Scary because...  Every little Goth girl's role model - name her Lydia and keep her closet full of only black! Just make sure her first (and second and third) words aren't Beetlejuice.
 



2. Sidney

MEANING: "Saint Denis"

Scary because...  Sidney Prescott from Scream is the ultimate final girl - she survived all four films to date and we're guessing we haven't seen the end of her yet! This is one rad name for a tough little P-Babe. 



3. Freddy

MEANING: "Peaceful ruler"

Scary because...  Nightmare On Elm Street! Mr. Krueger is the exact opposite of a peaceful ruler - we actually really love the name Freddy, but beware this super scary association!

4. Jason

MEANING: "to heal"

Scary because...  Friday the 13th! One of horror's most iconic bad guys - who again, is the total opposite of the meaning of his name!

5. Blair

MEANING: "dweller on the plain"

Scary because... Blair Witch Project, hello! Hopefully you were lucky enough to see that one after everyone realized it wasn't actual found footage... we still get the creeps driving by forests that look like that...


6. Damien

MEANING: "to tame, subdue"

Scary because... The Omen. One of the creepiest kids EVER, besides Rosemary's baby. Super cool name, though - don't let this stop you from choosing it for your P'Baby!

7. Carrie

MEANING: "free man"

Scary because... ummm... see below! 



8. Chucky

MEANING: variation of Chuck/Charles

Scary because... there's just something about inanimate things coming alive that skeeves us out to the max. Especially when they're life size dolls who like knives...







9. Casper

MEANING: "treasurer"

Scary because...
 ok, totally not scary. We love Casper! He's a FRIENDLY ghost! 




10. Frank(enstein)

MEANING: "Frenchman or free man"

Scary because... is it wrong we actually think he's kinda cute? Lurching around and creeping everybody out? Out of all the bad dudes on the list... he's really not so bad!

11. Channing

MEANING: "wolf cub"

Scary because...
 You either love him or hate him. We're on Team Tatum, and his name has a pretty awesome meaning... but his ridiculous and creepy "wolf" costume from Jupiter Ascending landed Magic Mike on our scary list!



12. Winifred/Winnie

MEANING: "holy peacemaking, gentle friend"

Scary because...
 She's the head witch in Hocus Pocus, and we're pretty afraid of that hairdo. Seriously adorable name though!



13. Jack

MEANING: "God is gracious"

Scary because... Jack O' Lanterns, Jack the Ripper, and our creepy cute fave - Jack Skellington!
