Welcome welcome to the wonderful world of W baby names! We’ve waved goodbye to the common names starting with W and have instead shared our top wonderfully unique monikers starting with this uncommon letter. Sure, they may be a little whacky, but we still think they are cute.
Are you ready? Check out the Where’s Wally of wonderfully unique W baby names.
FUN FACT: Out of the top 200 baby names in Australia last year (100 boys and 100 girls), only two W baby names made the list. One girl’s name – Willow – and one boy’s name – William.
Now, let’s check out some of the baby names starting with W that you won’t find on the top 100 list (yet!).
Whimsical Baby Names Starting with W
1. Wes – Wes means “west meadow” and is a shortened form of Wesley but we like Wes much better.
2. Westin – For a longer version, why not Westin? There are a few ways to spell Westin too – Weston and Westyn both come to mind.
3. Wyn – A winning three-letter baby name if we’ve ever seen one! You can also opt for Win.
4. Wren or Wrenly – Wren is quickly climbing the charts as a cute four-letter baby name. Wren is a songbird bird, so a lovely choice for any musicians out there.
5. Wilder – For a woodsy baby name, Wilder certainly fits the mould.
6. Wild – Or, you could go with something badass like Wild or Wyld?
7. Wylie – A cunning choice, Wylie is a cute alternative to the more popular Riley.
8. Wyatt – We’ve seen Wyatt being used often for boys but we especially love it for a little girl. Wyatt means “brave warrior”.
9. Winter/Wynter – A seasoned name to handle the weather, Winter is a lovely choice year-round.
10. Waterlily – Well, if Tigerlily can be a name, so can Waterlily.
11. Willa – As mentioned before, Willow makes the top 100 baby name list. It’s actually the tenth most popular girl’s name. But Willa isn’t used as often and is quite pretty.
12. Wave – Great for beach lovers, Wave has that ultra-edgy thing going on.
13. Winnie – Short for Winifred, Winnie is a playful choice for anyone who likes nickname names and a cute alternative to Poppy or Charlie.
14. Wolf – One of the animal names of the year is Wolf which is a wild yet adorable choice!
15. Wrigley – A fitting name for any wriggly baby, or any baseball fans out there.
16. Wei – Pronounced Way, this Chinese name means “power” or “rose”.
17. Wednesday – This name is sure to take off this year. It’s kooky and spooky and all that good stuff!
18. Wystan – Wystan is a rare English name meaning “battle” or “stone”.
19. Waverly – We’ll end with a posh W baby name. Waverly is pretty, elegant and ethereal – a lovely combination.
