For many parents, finding a name for their little one is a very important task. Since the name our parents give us (usually) stays with us for our whole lives, it’s not an easy decision to make. And while it may seem helpful at first to have so many options to choose from, sometimes that can make the final decision eve more challenging (too many choices).
With so many choices and no formal rulebook that we have to follow, it can be super helpful to narrow down a meaning first before narrowing down the short list and ultimately deciding on a name. So whether it's the powerful and all-encompassing element of fire you're drawn to, or just the idea of a fiery personality, what better inspirational jumping point than one of the elements that keeps all things going?

Blaise|Blaise
Blaise or Blaze if the traditional more on-the-nose spelling is what a parent is after, has a fun tie to fire. The name is unique not only in spelling but also because it’s not a name that has been around for a long time. But it’s really smart, and strong.

Shula|Shula
Shula is a short form of Shulamit which comes from the Hebrew word "shalom" (or peace, wholeness). However, when Shula is given to a baby without it being a nickanme, the meaning changes to "flame" in Arabic.

Surya|Surya
Surya can be used for any gender but in the more traditional form, Surya is a Hindi name for a boy. The name means “sun god” which has a beautiful nod to fire. The name’s not really common in the U.S. but that’s one of the biggest perks of it. If it’s a name that both parents can agree on, it’s worth exploring.

Hugo|Hugo
Hugo is a sweet boy name that has an old school feel to it but has the perk of not being too common that it still feels fresh. The name has an interesting tie to fire since it’s a version of the Gaelic word “Aodh” which is tied to Aiden, which means “fire.”

Hestia|Hestia
For parents who are looking for a unique but meaningful name for their little girl, Hestia ticks all those boxes. The name isn’t popular in the United States but has a Greek origin. The baby name meaning is "hearth,” or “fireside" which sounds loving and calming, too.

Flint|Flint
Flint doesn’t have a direct tie to fire in terms of the meaning of the name, however, in addition to being a cool name, a flint is also a tool that’s used to start a spark when trying to light a fire, so it definitely fits!
