Word names — basically, words used as names — are a growing class as parents rush to find truly unique baby names for their children. Now, formerly one-of-a-kind names such as Maverick and Serenity can be found in Kindergarten classrooms around the country! But don’t worry — there are still plenty of undiscovered choices.
<br></br>
Along with Serenity and Maverick, other word names in the US Top 500 Include Crew, Genesis, Major, Meadow, Baker, Sage, Melody, and Ember. Cool, one-of-a-kind word names used for fewer than 5 babies at last count include Whimsy, Ballad, Reader, and Flair.
<br></br>
While you'll find word names among nature names and day names and occupational names and color names and spiritual names, most of those collected on this list don't fit neatly into any category. You'll find even more word names in our lists of <a href="https://nameberry.com/list/329/Nature-Baby-Names">Nature Names</a>, <a href="https://nameberry.com/list/334/Place-Names-for-Babies">Place Names</a>, and many other lists in the category <a href="https://nameberry.com/lists/category/nature-place-word-names">Nature, Place, and Word Names</a>.
<br></br>
Finally, a word on gender: English words are not gendered and so most of these word names can work for both boys and girls, even if we have only one gender noted here.
