Hello!

If you’re searching for the ultimate unique baby name, look no further. A baby name consultant has spilled the beans on the best baby names that aren’t really baby names – and they’re actually worth considering!

Stephanie Coffield, who is a Birth Advocate and Baby Name Consultant, has offered up a series of boy and girl baby names that aren’t really baby names, but she would happily use.

She started the series as a request, with her videos attracting hundreds of thousands of views.

“Did I hear someone’s looking for a name that’s never been used as a name before for their baby?,” Stephanie asks in her video. “I just want to say that these are the moments as a baby name consultant that you remember forever.”

The boy baby names Stephanie came up with are:

  • Forward
  • Grove
  • Nickel
  • Pace
  • Tower

She also explained why she chose each of the unusual baby names: “Think about it, Forward is just a mix of Howard and Forest and if you went with Nickel he could go by Nick as a nickname, and Pace is just so effortlessly cool.”

Stephanie was then asked to find girl names that aren’t really names, and she obliged. Here’s what she came up with:

  • Brocade
  • Gleam
  • Linen
  • Mirage
  • Strawberry

“Brocade, she could go by Cadey, Gleam just gives off sparkle and charm. Linen and Mirage already sound like names and Strawberry is bold.”

Not content with just one list for girl, Stephanie came home strong with another girls’ name list:

  • Clarinet
  • Jelly
  • Jive
  • Kindred
  • Wind

“Clarinet, she can go by Clara. Jelly is just like Kelly but with a J. Kindred means people you’re related to, it’s a total name vibe. And Wind, I don’t know. It spoke to me at first and now I’m unsure.”

  • I wouldn’t personally like to name my kids any of these, unless I was a fairy of some time, I might have named my daughter Wind :)

  • Personally not a fan. I don’t know why everything needs to be unique these days

  • My father wanted to call me Gazelle. (Graceful) which I am not. I ended up being called Ilona.(joy).

  • I know of a couple Macedonian ladies that are named Jagoda which means strawberry in English. But the other names are not names and people are just making names up to be different, but the poor children have to live with these crazy names and get bullied until they can legally change it when they are 18.

  • They’re all terrible- could you imagine being called wind? Does it mean you fart a lot?

    Reply

  • I wouldn’t be naming any future children with any of these names.

  • I’m so sorry to say but this is just utterly ridiculous and a bit mad in the head.

  • The only name I’d even slightly think of considering would be Pace. Funnily enough it means Peace in Italian.

  • No, people need to use names that aren’t items
