Names That Mean Cloth

If Apple and Juniper, Oak and Pine can be baby names, why not Maple? Why not indeed. We've heard Maple starting to be used quietly, but with its lush sound and attractive image, we predict its use as a first name will grow — and its choice by the Jason Batemans — who combined it with the sweet middle name Sylvie — will only accelerate that growth.

A word name with fashionable o-ending that has associations with both the homespun fabric and the mottled cat. Alice Cooper named his daughter Calico decades ago.

Not quite as over-the-hill as Herman, but not far behind either.

This waspy name on the rise for boys, hasn't hit yet for girls, but could join others, like Sawyer, that have.

Energetic choice that bounces off the tongue.

An occupational surname that hasn't made the limelight like Carter, Baker, etc., but is equally stylish.

Other occupational names would be more commonly accepted, though the Mad Men character has certainly brought it to the fore.
