JANUARY NAMES

According to Nameberry.com, those people expecting a baby in January of 2021, may want to consider names that reflect the season that they are born. As January is a reflection of winter and new beginnings, these names may be those you want to consider when naming your daughter:

• Aurora: Meaning dawn...(I guess you could also name your daughter Dawn).
• Nova: Meaning new.
• Nadia: Meaning Hope.
• Hope: Also meaning Hope. Hello.
• Winter: Self explanatory.

For boys, names in January are sometimes related to famous figures born in January:

• Alexander: For Alexander Hamilton
• Edgar: For Edgar Allen Poe
• Winter: For obvious reasons.
• Franklin
• Lorenzo

LOOKING FOR UNIQUE?

I can see why these names have never made it to the top five. If this is your name, you are....unique.

Snowdrop.    (Need I say more).
Eirlys. This is a Welsh name also meaning Snowdrop. I like it. If my name was actually Snowdrop, I would probably legally change it to Eirlys, or have people call me Snow for short. On a side note, my Grandmother's maiden last name was Snow.

For boys, Wolf is sort of a cool name, but their are other names I've never heard like:

Fintan: meaning white fire or white bull.
Janus: boys name meaning gateway.

What names would you like to see on this list? It's pretty neat. If you're having a baby, and looking for some original, unique, or popular names, this is a great place to look.
