Our favorite unique word names for babies include those that are used in very small numbers, like Samurai and Solstice, as well as those that have 

never appeared on the US baby names list 

at all, like Epoch and Everglade. None of the 200 original word names in this list has ever been given to more than 15 babies in any given year.

Along with Solstice and Everglade, other 

for babies that make this list include Acre and Apricity, Fennel and Freesia, Pinto and Pipistrelle. 

 we think have great baby name potential include Bayou, Islet and Caldera. And

 like Kindred, Parity and Zeal set the right tone for the 2020s and beyond.

 but want to look beyond the obvious Rue and Rose, this list of

 ideas compiled by our wonderful Berry community is for you!
