A List of 98 Names: Boys, Girls, & Unisex

I know my blog is all over the place, but I basically pull from whatever I have going on that day. Somedays I know what I'm posting when I awake, others I don't know what I'm doing until I start typing.  Today, Azariah asked me to name his Power Ranger. I called him Fred; he called him "Matman" (2-year-old speak for Batman). But since I do love names, and I often find myself looking at random lists of names. I decided to put together my own list of boy, girl, & unisex names, with meanings (& a few with short explanations). Just for fun! 

BOY NAMES: 
1. Nytiere- This is a name I made up a long time ago; I dubbed the meaning as "night air", very similar to the sound ny-te-heir

  My nephew (who was born before my son) has the middle name Nycier . So I didn't  even try to use my name; my nephew is close enough.

2. Silas- of the forest

3. Kason- a variant of Carson which means "Carr's son"
4. Elliott- Jehovah is God
5. Elijah- my God is Yahweh
  I have a few friends that have used this name, so I never used it.  I'm completely against name-stealing from friends and family, even if it's an awesome name,
6. Ian- Gift from God
7. Asher- happy/ fortunate/ blessed
8. Azarias- God has helped
  I actually wish I named Azariah this. 
9. Zacharias- the lord has remembered
10. Angel- messenger/ angel
11. Ezra- help/ helper
12. Azai- strength
13. Sergeant- to serve
  I love this name, it just screams "little boss", or "big boss". You know depending on the age. 
14. Kaine- tribute
  Spelled differently because I wouldn't want my child linked (closer) to the Cain of the bible. Spelled this way the name also has an entirely different meaning than Cain 
15. Parker- park keeper
16. Nicolai/ Nico-  victory of the people
17. River- river
18. Wyatt- guide/ wide/ wood
19. Myles- destroyer
  Simple, one syllable, and sweet sounding, despite the meaning.
20. Harley- from the hare's meadow
21. Dominic- of our Lord
22. Kasey- observant/ alert/ vigorous
23. Kovu- Yes, like from Lion King 2.
24. Thessius- super ultra old school, but doesn't he sound so mighty & noble.
25. Kofi- my brother & I used to have a toy named Kofi. I loved it.
26. Addison- I think of an artistic and quiet person. One that's brilliant, & has a cool name.
27. Rain- abundant blessings from above
28. Jasper- my favorite name that my husband just had to hate!
29. Casper- treasurer
30. Caspian- Caspian Sea

32. Jonas- a gift from God
33. Noah- comfort/ long- lived
34. Joseph- may Jehovah add
35. Caden- friend/ companion
36. Exodus- going out/ departure
  An unusual name, but it's pretty solid, right?
37. Abraham- father of multitude
38. Pierre- rock/ stone
39. Declan- man of prayer
40. Hunter- hunter
41. Wolfe- wolf
  Boys are strong, crazy, energetic, strategic, wise, leaders. Like wolves.

43. Samson- what better sign of strength than this name?

GIRL NAMES: 
1. Winter- year
2. Quinn- wisdom/ reason/ intelligence
3. Wynette- beautiful
  Uncommon & elegant 
4. Shy- bashful
5. Freya- lady
  This is actually what I figured Jeffrey's name is girl form, that's why I adore it 
6. Rainy- counsel power
  I love nature names, can't you tell? 
7. Misti- misty
8. Charli- small beauty
  My personal opinion: Charli is a better name for a boy than a girl (even if spelled Charlie, keep in mind Charlie means man). 
9. Harlee- hare meadow
10. Riayn- little King
11. Sapphire- gem/ beautiful
12. Adalyn- pleasant
13. Madalyn- magnificent

  I had a doll named Aspen; she was an avalanche worker. 
17. Della- noble
18. Genesis- birth
19. Jade- means stone of the colic; it's a pretty green stone
  Familiar story: for years my daughter's name was going to be Jade
But my niece, born 4+ years before my daughter, was named Jayda. She was actually born a month after my nephew, so two of my names were taken at the same time. 
20. Capri- whimsy & playful
  I love this name. It was Noelles middle name, originally. But she just didn't look like a Capri, so I named her Noelle Katia instead.  I think of Colbie Cailat's Capri every time I hear the name. 
21. Caprice- fanciful
22. Abbi/ Abigail- father's joy
23. Nyla- cloud or champion
24. Nya- purpose

27. Raine- queen
28. Skye- Sky
29. Naomi- pleasantness
30. Skyler- scholar
31. Tyler- door keeper of an inn

  From Les Miserables. Oh, Cosette! Isn't the name just dreamy?
34. Yasmin- jasmine flower
35. Yazlyn- free
36. Elle- she
37. Vega- star / meadow
  A name from the Galaxy. How cool.
38. Journee- a trip or experience
39. Mac- it means son of Scottish
  But isn't Mac the coolest name for a girl! She sounds all sporty and cool. Everyone's friend & a complete daddy's girl! I just think this is darling. 
40. Ginger - ginger (spice)
  I tried to name Noelle, Ginger when she came out with red hair; Jeffrey wasn't having it. 
41. Kloë- young, green foliage
42. Ivy- faithfulness
  Same story as Ginger. But she does get to be poison Ivy for Halloween; close enough right?

  I am a fan of trading Ys for Is. 
2. Salem- peace
3. Shiloh- the one to whom it belongs
4. Adley- Judicious

  This name is extremely symbolic, and it was Noelle's name if she were a boy.

8. Ashe- Ash tree
