40 Last Names As First Names
I absolutely love when people use last names as first names for their babies. It’s a great way to give your baby a name that is classic yet unique. Even if you were to name your baby “Smith” (which is one of the most common last names there is), it still sounds totally fresh when being used as a first name, but doesn’t venture too far out there in the uniqueness category since it’s still a name people are used to hearing – even if it is only as a last name. I checked out a list of the most common last names in the U.S. (based on census data) and got so many great baby name ideas in the process. In addition, I added a few last names of famous actors, writers and the like to round out my list. Here are 40 of my favorite last names that make great first names!
40 Baby Names Inspired By Cities Around The World

While we named our son after an Uncle, it is neat to know that we could travel half way around the world and find a place with a name so familiar to us. It got me thinking about all the city inspired baby names, and so I searched to see just how many names have been inspired by cities, and it turns out there’s quite a lot. Here’s 40 of my favorite city inspired baby names I found.

If My 5-Year-Old Named the Baby
I was cleaning out my office this past weekend when I came across a scrap piece of tattered yellow paper that had a list of both boy and girl names written on it.
A column of boy names, and a column of girl names. All neatly printed out in my then 5-year-old daughter’s best penmanship. What I had found was a baby name list she had come up with while I was pregnant with baby Paul.
