Hulme

Hulme is quite a unique name for your bouncing new arrival. Considered a masculine title with English origins, Hulme has often been used as a last name. Peering into its potential etymological roots, it’s probably a variant of the Old Norse name Holme—derived from the term HolmR, which means “small hill,” “small island,” “a river island,” and “land that is liable to flooding.” Holme is also viewed as a cognate with the Old English term holm, adding “sea,” “ocean,” and “wave” to its list of potential meanings. Water seems to be a common theme for this moniker, perhaps indicating that your little one could be a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. That, or you plan on raising little Hulme on an island or near the coast. Whatever your reason for choosing it, this name will always have baby swimming in compliments.
