Chicago

If you want to connect baby to the Windy City, Chicago could be your kind of name. This gender-neutral title is a direct reference to the American city in Illinois that’s rich with history and landmarks. Whether this city will be baby’s first home or just holds a special place in your heart, Chicago is a vibrant choice. The name itself stems from šikaakwa, an Algonquian word that translates to “wild garlic" or "place of the wild onion." On the same odorous note, Chicago could also mean "skunk place," from the Ojibwa phrase shika konk. You and your little one are unlikely to encounter any of these strong stenches on your future Chicago trips, though there will be plenty of deep-dish pizza and incredible experiences!
