What is the best baby name? Obviously, the best baby name is one that resonates with the mother. Some are chosen based on names of relatives or friends, while others may be based on the names of famous historical figures or celebrities. If you are looking for a little king there's Elvis. A starlet perchance? Try Marilyn or Madonna or Lindsey or Britney.

This might sound a little out there but some sources say that if the mother sits quietly and opens herself up to receiving the perfect baby name it will come to her.

If you are searching for weird or uncommon baby names they are out there. You can also make up your own to be totally unique. Two that I made up are Velika for a girl (it has that Transylvanian ring to it!) and Karvanian for a boy. Who knows these may become the next popular names for boys and girls - or maybe not...

You might consider choosing your baby name based on the actual meaning of the name. For instance, if you are looking for a little princess you could name your baby Sara, which means princess from the Hebrew. If you want a strong boy try Ethan which means strong from the Hebrew again.

The most popular boys name means Supplanter, while the most popular girls name means Industrious. You'll discover the names below.
