Written by Monica Beyer   

For a baby name that really stands out, why not look to the night? There is plenty of inspiration to be had from the night itself and the creatures that lurk within it. From cosmic structures like the stars and the moon to the natural prowlers of the night, look no further! The perfect nighttime baby name is here, for boys and for girls. Read on!

Night is a very magical time. While we prepare for slumber, animals are waking up. Hunting by the light of the moon or a clear starry sky, their world is a different one than ours. Their senses are suited to the darkness; their hearing is keen and their vision is sharp.

Nighttime baby names are unique and fun while retaining their intrigue and mystery. If you are inspired by a dark forest or an ebony night sky, you'll find a name here for your baby.
