20 October baby names that are boo-tiful

October is a month full of adventure and fun. If you’re a lover of the fall season, you may be decked out in pumpkin decor and apple picking may be at the top of your list. But just as the leaves on the trees change, so will your life (for the better!) when your October baby arrives.

Beyond the cooler weather and Halloween celebrations, there are many reasons October babies are special. According to a study done in 2014 which tested the strength and stamina of school-aged students, “October-born children were stronger than those born in all months except September and November,” so you may be gearing up to welcome the next LeBron James, who just so happens to celebrate his birthday this month as well.

It’s not just physical strength that babies born this month happen to be blessed with. They may be the next leader, as history shows that more U.S. presidents celebrate their birthdays in October than any other month. Other studies show October babies are most likely to see their 100th birthday, have fewer heart health problems, and tend to have good mental health.

So put on your sweater, grab a pumpkin-spice beverage and check out these 20 October baby names that are perfect for this month.
