Spring baby names abound in our latest batch of beautiful birth announcements from Nameberry members!

We’re getting towards the end of this highly eventful month (at least for the Name Warehouse), and you know what that means! It’s time to take a look at some celebrity baby names, or celebaby names, as I do every month. My take on the most unusual of the bunch, most commonplace of the April batch, how well sibsets blend together with their new addition(s), as well as my guesses for the names expecting celebrities will be bestowing upon their little ones in upcoming months are all included, and I

A list of meaningful baby names that are fitting for babies born in the month of May, inspired by their Zodiac sign (Taurus or Gemini), birth stone, and season.

Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, share three photos of her family and her son’s name: August Philip Hawke Brooksbank. Such a strong name!

In her Instagram Stories, Eugenie disclosed more information on how she chose her son’s names: “On his grandfather’s birthday weekend, thinking of my grandfather, we are introducing our little boy. He is named after his great grandfather and both of his great x5 grandfathers.” Eugenie is, of course, referring to her grandfather Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The name August comes from Queen Victoria’s consort Prince Albert, who had Augustus as a middle name. Hawke is likely a family name of Jack’s, though no details have been confirmed on this yet.

Celebabies, or babies born to parents in the spotlight, have a lot of power over the name community. They can spark outrages over some strange choices like Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson or Apple, plant names ready to take off in parents’ brains, starting roaring trends, or add to the pool of

December names are magical! In our guide to December baby names, we look at names inspired by Christmas, Hanukkah, and other symbols of the month.

I have to admit, I’m a bit late for June. But I wasn’t going to make all of you miss out on your monthly dose of celebaby news! Every month at the Name Warehouse, I go through some of the celebrity baby names that popped up in these last few weeks, tracing trends, dealing out opinions, and, of course, leaving the floor open for discussion if you wish to rate and review the names in the comments. Then, I take some expecting celebs and predict the names which they’ll choose for their little ones o

And another issue of Celebabies begins! This monthly series takes a look at the children of the stars, from the children of royals, musicians, reality TV stars, and anyone else whose life is in the spotlight. Today, we’re looking at an array of the latest trends and high-risers, as interpreted by me from the collection of celebrity baby, or celebaby, names. Now, let’s get started with the celebabies! Louise Jean Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary recently welcomed a little girl into the worl

May is a wonderful month to have a baby for many, many reasons. The fresh air and full bloom of spring put almost *everyone* in a good mood daily, making the world a much brighter place to bring a newborn into. But it's not only the obvious. According to Red Tricycle, babies born in May ar

Welcome back to the Name Warehouse, dear readers, and happy happy Friday! Today, we’re talking celebabies once more. Celebaby names are wonderful indicators of real life naming trends, lovely windows into what parents are naming their children if you aren’t in a window of life where plenty of people around you are expanding their families, and, of course, just plain fun! That’s why I take a look at four new celebaby names every month and predict a couple potential celebrity choices for expectin

Exotic and unthinkable choices like Lazer Lee Louis and Kulture Kiari, mainstream favorites like Leo and Luna, and classics like Josephine and Alexander all fit into the same category of celebrity baby names. A variety of styles, sounds, and origins, celebrity baby names, or celebaby names, often reflect some of the ho

Mandy and Taylor named their firstborn son “August,” an English name that means “Great” or “To Increase.” In her post, Mandy went into detail into why they chose this name. “It was last August when @taylordawesgoldsmith and I found out we were having a boy (it’s also Taylor’s birth month) and we always loved the name… so it was settled very early on in our book.”

The image Mandy used was of a blanket that had August’s name written on it. Turns out, the blanket was a sentimental gift. “For our anniversary in November, T gifted me with this blanket with the “A” (for Amanda) made from extra material from my wedding dress and “T” (for Taylor) from his wedding shirt. Felt like a very fitting amalgamation of our whole story. I can’t wait to pass this on to our sweet August one day.” Such a precious and meaningful gift to pass on to their son!

In August’s birth announcement, the This Is Us star referred to her son as “Gus,”
