Fall Holidays Offer Many Ideas

Linda DuBose

Any of the fall holidays can offer a source for great baby naming ideas. In the U.S. three common holidays are Halloween, Veteran's Day, and Thanksgiving. Here's some creative names associated with these dates.

Halloween

Veteran's Day

Expecting in mid-November? Perhaps you can honor a family member or ancestor who was a veteran and choose his name for your baby. If that doesn't suit, turn through the pages of history and be inspired by a famous war hero.

Thanksgiving

There are several directions you can go in for Thanksgiving related baby names. You can look at names that mean thankful, names of the first Pilgrims, or virtue names which were common at the time of the first Thanksgiving.
