35 Maine-Inspired Baby Names Perfect for Your Little Bundle of Joy

Ready to name your baby? Still undecided?

It’s a fun and exciting decision, but there’s a lot to weigh when it comes to naming your little bundle of joy. You’ve got to think about the meaning and significance, its uniqueness, how it sounds, and any future implications it might have.

But can you go wrong by giving your kid a name that captures the spirit of Maine, a state you love and hold dear to your heart?

Whether you’re a proud native of the Pine Tree State or love the state’s rugged coastlines, towering pines, and quaint small towns, there are a bunch of names that embody the charm and character of Maine.

Some town names might be perfect for your choice. How about a Lincoln, Camden or Jackson?

Or maybe use state and national parks for inspiration like Acadia or Baxter?
