Create your own kick butt name

Sometimes the best names are those you create yourself! If you and your significant other can’t agree on a name, why not combine them to make a new one! Or perhaps combine your name with your spouse’s name to create a cool original name that is unique to your family? For example, if your name is Samantha and his name is Lamar you can create your own unique name of Samar.

Look around at objects or think of words that aren’t traditionally baby names, but are cool words, such as Dream, Echo or Snow.

Thanks to celebrities like Beyonce, who named her daughter Blue Ivy, and Alicia Silverstone, who named her son Bear Blu, color names are cool and edgy. (However, you should probably stay away from Blue, which is in danger of being overused.)
