Shark

Da dum, da dum, da dum… It's time to get in the water! Shark is a gender-neutral name with English origins, which means “large, voracious fish.” Sharks usually get a bad rap and are often portrayed in popular culture as mindless eating machines. But, that could not be further from the truth! Sharks are a vital and wondrous part of the ecosystem that have been around for 450 million years. They are even older than trees! There are over 450 species of sharks, ranging from the small nurse shark to the iconic great white shark and the gentle whale shark. Gifting your baby Shark with a name that pays homage to this incredible animal will also afford them a connection with the power, authority, and resilience that sharks are synonymous with. And, while they hopefully won’t go through a biting stage, we just know that baby is going to be a natural at swimming classes.
