Congratulations to mom and dad to be! With roots in ancient mythology, literature, and nature, these names for little hipster boys and girls can offer just the inspiration parents need to start the next off-mainstream trend.
The hipster vibe tends to challenge mainstream culture – and that demands baby names that stand out rather than fit in, as well as have meaning. If there’s one word that sums up most hipster baby names, it’s “unexpected.” But you don’t need to be a hipster to be drawn to some of these rad, original, or simply reinvented names.
Let us know which hipster baby boy names is the best of all?
- EDISON- Possibly one of the most recognizable names in science! Edison, meaning “Edie’s son”.
- OTIS – A sweet little name for a little ragamuffin! Otis, meaning “wealth” or “fortune” in German, is a popular name among celebrities.
- EBEN- Eben is the short form of Ebenezer, which means “stone of help” in Hebrew.
- CALVIN- This is a name perfect for baby boys and not just ones that have a tiger named Hobbes!
- HOLDEN- The ultimate hipster novel is almost certainly Catcher in the Rye.
