350+ Word Baby Names for Boys & Girls

Wonderful word baby names are the perfect trend to find a meaningful and unique moniker for your little one.

When we talk about word baby names this means any word that’s typically used in language either to form sentences or to describe something.

Word names could come from objects or places, such as Indiana, they could be adjectives like Brave or Bright, or they could even be adverbs, such as Ever.

Colours also come under the category of word names – such as Navy, Teal and Onyx.

Because many of the names that fall under the “word” category are not traditional names, you’ll find many are modern and unique names for boys and girls.

Word names are so in style that even Rihanna has got in on the action – naming her new baby son Riot Rose. It’s certainly a unique combination!

You’ll find a lot of gender neutral names in this list – because when it comes to modern word baby names there are no rules as to who the names are for whether it be boys or girls.

Now onto the word baby names!
