It is hard to believe that more than half of the year has passed. But this also means that it’s time to start thinking about a new year of baby names! For anyone who has a baby due in 2019 or planning to have a baby in the new year, then it’s time to get ready. The year 2019 is all about names that are unique, without being way too wild and out there. It’s about being cool without causing the Starbucks barista too much stress over how to spell the name.

Some of these names are going to be brand new for 2019. Parents appear to be getting inspired by fairytale-like names from the many fantasy shows that have been all the rage lately. And some of these names were popular in 2016, 2017 and 2018 – and they keep going strong in 2019! These are names for both baby girls and baby boys.
