After spending 10 years as a nanny, Chrissy is now all about caring for her own kid and trying to find the time between potty training and sneaking vegetables in food to binge watch TV. She's also not above a good poop story, because all parents have them.

How to Choose A Baby Name

Choosing a baby name, including a hippie-themed one, can take on a different meaning, depending on who you are as a parent. Some parents choose a name based on family names and take it from there. If it has always been your goal to name your firstborn son after your great grandfather, then that makes it a little easier for you. But if you were always a fan of the hippie movement and feel yourself called to peaceful names with different kinds of meaning. Then hippie baby names are likely where your primary tastes lay.

Why We Love Hippie Names For Babies

If you already identify as a modern-day hippie or someone who is in tune with nature or inner peace, then choosing a hippie name for your baby is almost a given. Another reason why it’s easy to love hippie names for babies is that with some of these hippie names, your little one is sure to have a unique name that not many other kids will also have.

Naming your baby is one of the first major decisions you will make for your child. In some cases, your baby’s name can set the tone for big moments in their life. And you can’t really go wrong with choosing a hippie name that is both unique and peace-centered.
