Wiccan Baby Names
From LoveToKnow Baby
Wiccan baby names are often chosen for what they represent to the parents and for the baby. Choosing a Wiccan name is more than just haphazardly making up an unusual moniker; it's about finding inspiration from nature, gods, animals, and even the elements.
Finding Inspiration
Where can you find inspiration for choosing Wiccan names? This isn't an overnight decision. There are several methods that parents use in selecting a Wiccan name for their baby. They often spend time in prayer and meditation, and they may even perform several spell-casting sessions before finally selecting a name that is worthy of their child.
Wiccan names are often chosen based on their meaning or symbolism. That meaning may have a personal connection to the parents and/or the child, or it may simply appear as if the chosen name is simply the "right one."
What are some other ways to find inspiration in choosing a Wiccan name?
- Pay attention to signs-What is the spiritual world telling you? What signs have occurred as you look for a name for your child?
- Show gratitude-Give thanks as you pray for guidance in your journey to find your child's name.
- State your intention-Make it known in a prayer, chant, spell, etc. that you want to select a Wiccan name for your baby.
- Write, write, write-Journaling your thoughts, experiences, reflections, and prayers will allow you glimpses at the names that may be appropriate for your baby.
- Open your mind-Preconceived notions can hamper the path to finding a name, so open your mind through meditation and/or prayer.
- Consider your gifts and the potential gifts/talents of your child-What do you have to offer? What do you think will be special about your unborn child?

Those unfamiliar with Wiccans often frown on giving Wiccan baby names to infants. However, the names are filled with beauty and symbolism. Because they are so unique, they often invoke an aura of protection and special meaning to the children who wear them. Considered odd by many, Wiccan names have gained in popularity in the last several years.
Keep in mind, however, that the name you choose for your child shouldn't encourage ridicule. Don't saddle him with a moniker that creates a label that will be difficult for him to overcome. There are many beautiful names, such as the ones listed above, that can connect your child to the Wiccan world without isolating him from others.
