Hart

English, "stag"

Happy Valentine’s Day, Berries! It’s my favorite holiday, and coincidentally (well, maybe not), one of my favorite names is absolutely perfect for a baby born on February 14. Sure, Hart is unrelated to the word “heart” (it actually means “stag”), but everyone connects the two automatically.

Despite a love for sharp, preppy surnames like Brooks, Tate, and Lane, America has yet to embrace Hart. That could be good news for you, if you’re looking for a classic boy name that’s extremely rare — Hart was only given to 42 baby boys in the US at last count.

Of course, you could always save Hart for a middle name, which we love for babies born in February, and every other time of year.
