Unique baby names starting with T

1. Tate – Tate isn’t the most unique name we’ve come across but it’s still really cute and one you probably won’t come across often. Tate means “cheerful”.

2. Thoryn – Fans of Thor may like this one which is a made-up name but follows the ‘yn’ ending trend.

3. Thora – Another TH winner, Thora is both elegant and vintage. Serious old lady cool.

4. Tessa – A short and pretty version of Teresa, Tessa is fresh and fun.

5. Titus – Strong and powerful, Titus was considered a title of honour in Ancient Rome.

6. Tao – This name is rooted in a lot of cultures – In Japanese, it’s a popular girl’s name, in Chinese it means “long life”.

7. Taj – Strong, mighty and powerful, the name Taj glitters with royal connotations and actually means “crown”.

8. Tobias – A lovely biblical option, Tobias is common for boys, but what about for your little girl? A little girl named Toby sounds just divine!

9. Tai – A cute option for a little girl, or Tye, for a little boy.

10. Tora – A lovely and softer alternative to Torie, Tora means “tiger”.

11. Terra – This earthy name is also catching on and is great for any baby born under an earth Zodiac sign.

12. Tallulah – Another fresh and fun T baby name, Tallulah means “leaping water” and is often shortened to Tully.

13. Twain – A great choice for any literature fans out there.

14. Tinley – Tinley follows the trendy name mould to a T but we haven’t heard it much yet. We predict Tinley will rise with the likes of Oakley, Kensie and Paislee.

15. True – Virtue names are nothing new but True isn’t one you hear every day, unless, of course, you follow the Kardashians.

16. Trinity – Spiritual and sweet, Trinity will always have connections to the number ‘three’. It might be a good choice if bub is born on the 3rd, is the 3rd child or is born in March (3rd month).

17. Tristen – We are surprised that Tristen hasn’t punctured the top 100 most popular list yet but it remains an uncommon T baby name. Tristan means “sad” – perhaps not the best meaning for your new joy.

18. Theodora – Hello retro cool! If you love longer names, Theodora is both elegant and regal.

19. Talon – A fiery one to pierce the baby name list, Talon is a bird’s claw and symbolises determination.

20. Taya – Meaning “home”, Taya is another cute name starting with T that you don’t hear often.

21. Tennyson – A very formal option, Tennyson exudes power and charm.

22. Torin – Of Irish origin, Torin means “chief”.

23. Tasmin – An iconic Aussie name, Tasmin means “she who fulfils”.

24. Tamsin – Another similar name is Tamsin, which means “twin”.

25. Thalia – A name fit for a goddess, Thalia was a Greek goddess known for her beauty, charm and wit. The name means “to blossom”.

26. Tali – Meaning “my lamb”, this lovely short name is warm and edgy. It might make a good choice if you do like the four-letter names like Mila, Lily or Eden.

27. Trixie – The shortened version of Beatrix, Trixie is playful to stand on its own.

28. Tova – This vibrant name means “pleasing” and is fiery and fun.

29. Titania – A little bit magical, Titania is the queen of the fairies in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
