Some boy names are cute as girls names, but there are some names that are totally gender neutral and are equally good for girls as they are for boys. Take our Cool Name of the Week this week – Jordan – which is commonly used for either sex. Of Hebrew origin meaning to descend, the name derives from the river Jordan in Israel.
For girls or boys named Jordan, we’ve chosen some big sister tees, big brother tshirts, and personalized birthday shirts that will make ideal baby keepsakes.
Whether your child is the next Jordin Sparks or Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block, a Rock on Big Sister Tshirt or Big Brother Tshirt could inspire musical aspirations.
The name is just as cute on girls as it is on boys, and so is the design of the Chic Style Big Brother Tshirt and Big Sister Tshirt or the Watercolor Fun and Colorful Number 1st birthday onesies in shades of green.
The Around the World Big Brother Tshirt and Big Sister Tshirt would be perfect for any Jordan, as it’s a popular name globally – in Italian Giordano, in Spanish Jordán, in Portuguese Jordão, in Dutch Jordaan, in French Jourdain, in Irish Iordáin, and in Romanian Iordan.
If your Jordan is turning one this year, 1st birthday onesies like the Party One, My First Birthday, and Balloon Birthday personalized baby onesies make great gifts.

Cool Name of the Week: Sophia
Last week we wrote about Jacob being the number one name for boys according to the most recent report from the Social Security Administration, so this week we’ve chosen the number one girl’s name – Sophia – as our Cool Name of the Week. Of Greek origin, Sophia means wisdom, so it’s not only a beautiful name; it also has a wonderful meaning behind it.
We’ve picked a few personalized birthday shirts and big sister tees that would make ideal baby keepsakes for any Sophia.
The Playful Owls Big Sister Tshirt, or even the Merry Menagerie Big Sister Tshirt which also features an owl, would be wise choices as owls are also a symbol of wisdom.

Cool Name of the Week: Jacob
The Social Security Administration’s list of the most popular baby names of 2012 came out last week and no surprise, Jacob was number one. A biblical name of Hebrew origin, Jacob has been in the top spot since 1999 and for that reason (and not because we’re Twi-hards), we’ve named it our Cool Name of the Week.
We’ve picked a few personalized birthday shirts and big brother tshirts that would make ideal baby keepsakes for any Jacob (or Jake).
Not just used in the US, Jacob is a popular name on a global scale – Yakov in Russian, Jacobo in Spanish, Iacopo in Italian – so the multi-lingual Around the World Big Brother Tshirt would be very apropos.
Rockers Bon Jovi and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day chose the name Jacob for their sons, making the Rock On Big Brother Tshirt a great choice for future rock stars.

Cool Name of the Week: Dylan
For anyone who grew up watching Beverly Hills, 90210 (hands raised!), the name Dylan evokes the image of a super cool guy with an edge and a bit of vulnerability, which is probably why it’s been such a popular name for the last few decades. Of Welsh origin, it was the name of a mythical sea god – again, pretty cool, so it only makes sense that our Cool Name of the Week is Dylan, also spelled as Dillon or Dillan.
Inspired by its origins and a few famous Dylans, we’ve chosen some big brother tshirts and personalized baby onesies that are an ideal fit.
A god of the sea would have some pretty super powers and be protective of its creatures, so the bold Super Big Brother Tshirt or Whale of Fun Big Brother Tshirt would be very fitting.
Many a Dylan has been named after influential musician and original cool cat Bob Dylan so the Rock On Big Brother Tshirt or even Retro Style Big Brother Tshirt would be a great choice.
Lovable bad boy Dylan McKay of 90210 had a great car and was often working on his motorcycle, so we’d choose the Roaring Racecar and Go! personalized baby onesies or Nuts ‘N Bolts Big Brother Tshirt.
Which of these big brother tshirts or personalized baby onesies would fit your Dylan’s personality and make ideal baby keepsakes? Or do you have a female Dylan that would need a big sister tshirt?
Cool Name of the Week: Ava
Holding steady as the fifth most popular girl’s name for the last several years, Ava is a simple, yet beautiful name that has actually been around since medieval times. Of German origin meaning bird, Ava is no stranger to Hollywood, gracing the gorgeous and glamorous Ava Gardner, as well as the daughters of Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Jackman, and most recently Jeremy Renner. Yet another reason we’ve chosen it as our Cool Name of the Week.
We picked a few sweet bird-themed big sister tees perfect for any Ava.

Cool Name of the Week: Iris
Violet, Daisy, Rose, and Iris are all part of the flower as baby girl name trend that has been making a big comeback lately. In Greek mythology, Iris was the name of a messenger goddess that rode rainbows between Olympus and Earth, and according to Nameberry, “the Iris was considered a symbol of power and majesty, the three petal segments representing faith, wisdom and valor.” We think this strong, yet beautiful name is a perfect choice for our Cool Name of the Week.
Inspired by the origin and history of the Iris, we’ve rounded up some personalized birthday shirts, big sister tees, and personalized growth charts.
Rainbow-themed Rocking Rainbow tee, big sister tees (Tweet Tweet Big Sister Tshirt and Over the Rainbow Big Sister Tshirt), and My Townpersonalized growth chart would be perfect baby shower or birthday gifts for any girl named Iris.

Cool Name of the Week: HANK
Though most people think of Hank purely as a nickname for Henry, which is of old Germanic origin meaning “ruler of the house,” it’s a solid
name that can stand on its own and has for some legendary men. And falling off the popular baby name charts, it’s slowly rising back to popularity again, which is why Hank is our Cool Name of the Week.
We’ve chosen a few big brother tshirts that would make perfect personalized childrens gifts for little Hanks.
A fan of baseball legend Hank Aaron or music man Hank Williams Jr? The Batter Up Big Brother Tshirt or Rock On Big Brother Tshirt are great choices.

Cool Name of the Week: Lucas
Some names just never go out of style. Usually it’s because it sounds good, is easy to pronounce, has a sense of solidity, and has an interesting meaning behind it. Lucas, of Latin origin meaning “bringer of light,” fits that criteria and so we’ve chosen it as our Cool Name of the Week.
We’ve rounded up some big brother tshirts and personalized growth charts that fit this popular boy’s name, which can also be shortened to Luke or Luca, and would make great baby keepsakes.
The Super Big Brother Tshirt and Preppy Pennant personalized growth chart in Butter Yellow definitely brings the light to a boy named Lucas.
Saint Luke was the patron saint of artists and creatives, so the Love to Sketch Big Brother Tshirt, Color Me personalized growth chart, or Playful Doodles Big Brother Tshirt would be a good match

Of course royalty-themed big sister tees, like the Charming Castle Big Sister Tshirt or Looks Like Me Princess Big Sister Tshirt, are ideal for little Alexandra’s, monarch or not.
Which big sister tshirt or personalized growth chart would you choose for Alexandra?
COOL NAME OF THE WEEK: CARTER
Right now, giving boys last names as first names – like Cooper, Carter, Lincoln, or Miller – seems trendy, but they certainly aren’t new. A few Carter’s have made their mark on American history, like Carter Braxton who signed the Declaration of Independence and Carter Woodson, an African-American writer and historian who founded Black History Month, which is why we’ve chosen it as our Cool Name of the Week.
