Baby Names List

Compiled is a baby names list of the top 100 baby names and a few unique ones too! Browse the baby names list and make your own list of the top 10 names for a boy, and the top 10 names for a girl. Have your husband do the same and then compare. You might be surprised at what he likes and vice versa. Remember, naming your child is a very important task. Give him or her a name they can be proud of and not embarrassed of. This name will stick with them for the rest of their lives (unless it's so awful they opt to have it legally changed! Hopefully this won't be the case).

*Remember, pick a good one from the baby names list, but also make sure you like the meaning of the name. In Biblical times the meaning was the most important part of a name.
