If you or someone you love is expecting a bundle of joy in 2019, chances are that at least a little (or a lot!) of attention has been paid on the soon-to-arrive baby’s name. Long gone are the days of Jennifer and Michaels; in this day and age, parents are getting VERY creative with their little one’s monikers.
