Let’s not beat around the bush.Naming a baby ishard.
What’s an Olivia-loving parent to do?
Consider Alivia, an ever-so-slightly different variation of Olivia that sounds the same but looks quite different.
Jaymes
The name James is one of the most popular names in history.
Jaymes, on the other hand, feels much fresher.
The name is beloved in such countries as Australia, Belgium, Spain, Canada, and Scotland.
Vinzent
Another spelling alternative to a classic name with an unexpected “z” is Vinzent.
Plus, something about that “z” smack in the middle of the name just looks really cool.
Elyzabeth
While there are many ways to spell this traditional name, Elizabeth is the most common.
Its enduring popularity might have something to do with British queens Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II.
Phelix is a Greek variant of the name that can be found in the Bible.
Bestowing the name Phelix upon your baby will hopefully help to ensure their own good fortune throughout their life.
One Finnish variation of a classic name that is especially alluring is Aada.
Saige
Adding a different vowel to a classic name is another way to shake up its spelling.
While Sage is seen as a gender-neutral name, Saige is gaining traction as a feminine name.
Don’t let that stop you, though.
According toThe Bump, this spelling could be used for your baby regardless of gender.
That makes it a smart or should we say sage?
choice for parents looking for a gender-neutral name.
Enter Sommer, a variation of Summer that is also the German form of the term.
Luc
Sometimes, making a name shorter is the key to giving it a new spin.
Kole
You’ve heard the nursery rhyme.
According toBehind the Name, it may also come from the name Nicholas and is also a last name.
Jordyn
The letter “y” is a strange one.
While it is often considered a consonant, the letter can also be used as a vowel.
In fact, according toMerriam-Webster, it sees more use as the latter.
Swapping the versatile letter out for another vowel in a name is a good way of updating a moniker.
Take, for example, the name Jordan.
PerNameberry, the name ultimately comes to us from Hebrew and means “flowing down.”
Perhaps you’re an avid reader of Alice Walker’s novels or an aficionado ofAlice Cooper’s music.
