New Jersey is the “it” state for parents looking for a unique baby name or ideas for inspiration.  The Garden State just happens to be one the most racially and ethnically diverse states in the country.   

Parents from throughout the world have brought their cultural flavors to the state cultural scene, giving New Jersey parents more leniency when it comes to choosing uncommon names for their babies.  How unique or mainstream to go may depend on the style one is looking for.  Retro or modern? Popular or unusual?  What type of style suits you best?

The Brainy Retro Baby

Are New Jersey parents considered more likely to raise smarter babies?  According to statistics, the state of New Jersey has more scientists and engineers per each square mile than any other place in the world!   

Throughout history baby names have long been seen as influential in the life of a child, and when it comes to New Jersey’s own baby names for success, the state’s Ivy League Princeton University may have a few retro ideas for those hoping to raise a brainy baby with a retro name.
