Thinking of giving your baby a name from a specific cultural origin? There are a few issues to consider. As our society is becoming more and more culturally mixed and travel to the world’s most exotic places is no longer out of the ordinary, the globalization influence on baby name trends is hard to miss. The top name popularity charts are becoming more and more culturally diverse. Names such as Aliyah (Hebrew), Aidan (Irish), Guadalupe (Spanish), Amaya (Basque), and Maddox (Welsh) are rising in popularity. Parents are tapping into their cultural roots to give their babies a more unique name that will give the child a strong cultural identification. Your Baby Loves to Travel! International travel is starting to play a role in parent’s naming decisions. With more people choosing to change their place of location and move to different countries, you may want to consider the pronunciation potential of your name choices. The names may suit the place where you live now, but if your baby grows up and decides to live or work in a foreign country, will their name give them too much of a hassle? Many immigrants to the US experience problems with their name pronunciation. Consider giving your baby a name that is more international and will not give them problems later on in life. There are many internationally used names that are currently in the top ten charts throughout the world. Here are some examples: Popular Girl Names: Emma – currently popular in Belgium, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Norway, Netherlands, and Scotland Popular Boy Names: Joshua – currently popular in Australia, New Zealand, and England Use the Middle Name You may have your mind already set on a specific name that is not too international. Consider giving your baby a common middle name that they can use in situations where their first given name may be too complex to explain. In China, where the language and general articulation vary greatly from Western society, it is common to give babies both a Chinese name and a Western name that may come in very handy later on in life. Consider the Meaning Another issue to consider is the meaning of a name in other cultures. You may have found a name or even created one of your own that you are completely set on. Consider that your child will grow up in a multi-cultural environment, beginning from kindergarten on through their professional careers. Research the name you are thinking of giving your child to make sure that it does not have negative meanings in other cultures. Of course not every language in the world needs to be considered, but the most widespread languages such as Spanish and French are worth looking into. You can use our advanced search to look up the meaning of the name of your choice in other cultures.Related readings:Exotic Names from Around the World Comments (20)

I don't know about anyone else but i can not understand why people like to give their children popular names!!! I have never met anyone with my name and it has been great! No body ever has to use my last name cos there is never any need.It's never like "Emmeline, which one?" All people are unique so treat them that way.
Just say no to top 10 names!

When I was in grade school there were a million girls named Jennifer, Stephanie, Ashley and Amy. Most of my friends with those names named their children something more original b/c of what they went through. While I despise people spelling traditional names jacked up like Jaxon, etc. there are other beautiful, classic names out there. Just do your research & your child can have a unique name and stand out from the crowd. We decided to name our daughter Corinne because we loved the feminine sound of it and knew we were relatively safe from her having another Corinne in class since it was rated #679 on the US SS website.
...unique name...

(most popular girl name - UNIQUE name in the world) unique is the way to go!

We named our son Dexter, which was actually my grandfather's nickname! Rarely do you meet a Dexter (although there is that show called Dexter now). We are now having another (sex unknown) and we are stuck on an original girls name! If we have a girl, I don't want her to be 1 of however many in her class/school.

I love the names Justus, and Macai for a boy.
for all above. written by K.Ricker, December 07, 2008
for "My Bundle Of Joy!!!!" , i love the name Sabella Crystal :) it is Beautiful. and everyone else with different names, Nicell, they are all great ! :) popular names don't go as far in life. what i mean is, when your baby grows up and gets into the real world, everybody will always say, "which one:S?" chances are, there is no meaning behind their name. its just a name you like the sound of. but for all who thought of unique names, there beautiful. i thought of a couple of my own, i would like to know if they are nice or not. Zashlin & Pyper. i have 5 names picked out though. Zashlin Lorraine, Leah Pyper, Chase Thomas John, Hayden Scott, Wesley Brian, Norah Lynn.
thank you :) Write comment
