When you're searching for baby names, you're probably looking for inspiration in all sorts of places. Why not try something a little different and find some inspiration in qualities you hope your child has or your favorite quality you or your partner possess, like being funny. Everyone likes to think their kid is the funniest, but if you're being inspired by baby names for funny kids, you might be giving your little comedian a leg up for their big SNL debut.

Maybe you're not looking to raise the class clown, but rather a kid who finds the humor in every day situations, keeps your entire family laughing, and makes everyone around him smile.
