Attention hipsters – this is one list of baby names that you won’t want to miss.

Recently our Babyologists played a game – I asked, what are some of the trendiest, coolest, hippest names of little ones that you know? – either from the classroom, from the playground or from your own friends’ and families’ choices in monikers for their little ones.

And here is what we came up with – 80 truly impressive baby names for the next generation of hipsters out there.
