Baby name trends come and go, and aesthetic names for baby boys and girls are hugely popular right now. You may have even given your baby an aesthetic name without even realizing it. Although you may think this trend, popularized on social media apps like TikTok and Instagram, will be a short-lived one, giving your baby an aesthetic name simply means refusing to adhere to any conventional naming rules.

By definition, “aesthetic” means beautiful, stylish, artistic, and chic and parents are feeling more empowered than ever when choosing the perfect name for their little ones. They are no longer limited to “classic” or family names and can choose something unique, elegant, unexpected, or unusual if that’s a name they love. If you’ve been looking for some aesthetic girl, boy, and gender-neutral name inspiration, we’ve compiled a list of some options you’re sure to love.

One could argue that many aesthetic names are gender-neutral choices, and that’s true, which is another reason parents are finding them so appealing. Choosing a gender-neutral aesthetic name that you love allows you flexibility when it comes to naming your child. Here are some of our favorite options:

  • Ever
  • River
  • Sage
  • Blake

Choosing a name for your little one is an important decision that takes a lot of consideration. Aesthetic names allow parents to channel the things they love the most to inspire the perfect baby name. Many parents no longer feel the need to choose something traditional or classic they may not feel connected to and are instead opting for these aesthetic names they love. Whatever name you choose we hope you find some inspiration from these suggestions.

Baby playing on tummy and reaching for a toy

It's not uncommon for babies to dislike tummy time, especially for those just being introduced to this new position. It can be a bit stressful for parents when their baby starts to cry or squeal the minute they're placed on their stomach, but it doesn't have to be. There are many ways to get a baby to like tummy time; it's just a matter of finding the right strategy for your unique child.

Tummy time is when you place the baby on their belly so they can work their core and neck muscles to get them ready for new activities like rolling over, sitting up, and crawling. Studies have shown that when tummy time isn't as encouraged, babies are likelier not to crawl. They've also shown that babies who spend more time on their tummies crawl sooner. The WHO recommends tummy time which has also been shown to improve gross motor skills and overall development and prevent flat head syndrome.

Crying is a way for babies to communicate. Babies cry for many reasons, but when a newborn won't stop crying, it can be extremely worrisome, especially for new parents. Sometimes, when newborns and older babies continue crying, you may feel like joining in. This is certainly true when you have ruled out all the obvious potential reasons for the crying.

The truth is that the first cry you heard in the delivery room was exciting. Your infant finally arrived and was handed to you wailing away. It was a welcome sound.

Father burping his baby

As an adult, there is nothing that brings you to your knees like getting the hiccups. Imagine how it must feel to be a new baby and get the hiccups. If you have noticed your bundle making those telltale noises, this is how to get rid of baby hiccups and prevent another attack from coming on.
When a baby hiccups

Baby's first hiccups
You might not remember the first time you had the hiccups, and neither will your baby. It might sound a little like a sci-fi movie, but your baby could have had hiccups while still in your stomach. There is no way to know just by feeling your stomach, but those little kicks could have been baby hiccups. 
Baby's next hiccups
A baby can have hiccups the second they are born. As humans with organs that have natural reflexes, we all could get the hiccups at any age. But because a baby doesn't quite know how things work yet, infants up to 12 months old tend to "catch" the hiccups a lot more than at any other time in one's life.
