Miloh

Like Shiloh or Iroh, Miloh's -oh ending gives off a firm storybook feel, making it seem so much more special and personal. Rather than leaving off with an unfinished O, the H also gives the name a sense of wholesome closure: it's a wonderful way to make the traditional favorite Milo a bit more you.

Meaning "young salmon," Samlet is one of the freshest, most delightful names out there. Adding -let to the end of Sam creates an instant sense of endearing closeness, making the name feel like an old friend. Arising in nature, and moving straight into the ranks of the most lovable names there are, Samlet has the unique ability to set aside a special place in everyone's hearts.

Justim

Picture
Justim whisks together Justin and Tim in a mixture as smooth and satisfying as cake batter. It resembles Justin enough to replicate its familiar excellence, while he M acts as a refreshing replacement for the N. This makes the name both trim and well-rounded, allowing you to bask in both its extraordinary style and its seamless incorporation of two classic names.

Livvie

The double V swooshes on your lips in this ultramodern nickname for Olivia. Livvie thrums with colorful summer energy, like the pinkest, sweetest raspberry lemonade, or like green maple leaves dappled with midday sunlight. It adds rainbow sprinkles to the energetic icing of Liv, proving that it's more than a nickname.

Atyson

Atyson glows as a light, easy-use spin on Addison. Six letters and three cascading syllables, this name can be a cheery, comfortable fit with anyone. The abbreviation Aty is everything you dream of in a nickname: short, charming, and nestled snugly within the longer name, allowing both to be used interchangeably in any setting.

Mareen

Picture
This name is a homophone with the word "marine," immediately drawing in ocean lovers near and far. Its double E makes it feel as slick, sleek and streamlined as a dolphin's tail, splashing and cutting effortlessly through the saltwater. And its Mar is just the purest of blues: like you see when you look out at the horizon from the prow of a speeding boat, the wind in your face and the thrill of the seas in your heart.

Zae

Unique names can be so cool, but also, at times, difficult - when people can never pronounce them correctly, or when you stand out in situations where you'd rather not. When you take a look at Zae, it's easy to figure it out (just ZAY), but it's also clear that it's new and zingy fresh, with its sparkling Z and sweet -ae ending. In other words, it keeps all the best parts of unique names, without sacrificing practicality. It shows that in the end, unique names can give you a kind of individuality that is warming, rewarding, and so, so worth it.

Clyff

Picture
The Y here solidifies the rugged toughness of Clyff, a name that feels a whole lot like a towering cliff - perhaps so high that its surface is clouded over with mountain mist. You can picture the churning waves or desert landscape of dusty crimson rocks below it, adding to its rough, yet so beautifully natural, splendor.

Raena

Reina, Reyna, Rayna, Raina: spellings abound for this simple but elegant name that means anything from "queen" in Spanish to an adaptation of the English word "rain." In this name, we use the spelling from the name Rae, commonly used in pairings with other names. We don't sacrifice the regal or stormy-strong energy of the other spellings, but add a layer of classic charm that shines impossibly vividly if you're looking for it: like finding a rainbow in a misty fountain!
