I love names and my husband and I took the naming of our three kiddos pretty seriously, but we also had a lot of fun too. Right now strong and cool baby names are very popular, and today’s parents are all about unique!
Names are important. When we call someone by a name, that’s the meaning we are assigning to them. In essence, we are calling them a meaning.
Let me say it like this, we wouldn’t want anyone calling our kid stupid, right? First, you wouldn’t believe that was true, but also you don’t want your child hearing over and over that they’re stupid, dumb, or any other negative attribute.
In the case with my children’s names, we started with the meaning we wanted to speak over our child every day and tirelessly poured over hundreds of names until we found the ones we loved.
In the case of my middle daughter, her name came to me in a dream. I loved how beautiful her name sounded and the meaning fit the description we wanted so that was easy!
In this list, I wanted to offer baby names that sounded fresh and cool but also have strong and powerful meanings. I also purposefully didn’t separate boy names from girl names because parents are switching up names so much these days I wanted to leave that up to you.
These are perfect strong baby names with powerful meanings for 2019!

I do like a lot of these names and I think it is nice when names have a beautiful meaning, but I don’t think it’s crucial.
Your point about speaking powerful words over you children everyday can be achieved just with regular words. It doesn’t have to be their name. A lot of people don’t even know the meaning of their name either, and I find that kids certainly don’t. Name meanings are definitely more for the parents than their child (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Beautiful name suggestions though!
