Lately I’ve been into more obscure word names- names like Lazuli, [name]Azure[/name], or Borealis for girls and Amor, [name]Hale[/name], or [name]Quill[/name] for boys. I find these “word names beyond [name]Mason[/name] & [name]Grace[/name]” fascinating, especially the ones that aren’t listed on nameberry’s database or that don’t come up often. I’ve even found some great word names in other languages- [name]Pax[/name] and Vox are pretty fascinating!
So what are some interesting word names- English or otherwise- that you’ve come across?
I recently compiled a long list of word names that I have heard on actually people or seen people suggest on here . some are silly, but it is still a fun list.
Why don’t you consider a few of these?

My friend was thinking about naming her daughter Persikka to honor the baby’s father’s heritage. Apparently it’s Finnish for “peach”.

[name]Tuesday[/name]: I met a spunky teenager named [name]Tuesday[/name] who really just pulled off her name and made me really like it
[name]Snow[/name]: makes me think fresh clean and sparkling that moment when you step outside in the morning after a snow storm
[name]Morning[/name]: this makes me think of bright new starts and I actually think it very pretty
[name]Evening[/name]: conjures images of twilight and the world calming down
[name]October[/name]: I love this with the nn [name]Toby[/name] I think it is stunning and different in terms of month names
[name]September[/name]: I would use the nn [name]Emmy[/name], so cute and yet refreshing
Swan: I actually really like Swan as a name, they are beautiful graceful birds and it makes me think of sweetly sorrowful ideas of Swan Songs the greatest thing you will ever create
[name]Day[/name]: the sound of this is just pleasant to me
Boys are harder for me but I really love [name]Shepherd[/name]. I would totally use most of these in the middle but I think any of them could make intriguing first options.
