These Pretty, Feminine Baby Names Are Modern Classics
So you’re having a little girl — and struggling to find the perfect, pretty baby name. There are plenty of routes you could take with your new daughter’s name (Game of Thrones baby names, anyone?) but maybe you’re not so into the wackier trends and the gender-neutral monikers. If you find yourself suddenly pulled toward all names delicate and feminine, we’ve got just the list for you.
We looked at flowers, gems and, yes, even celebrities to find the perfect dainty names for your little beauty. These choices are classic, but they’re not overused, so you can count on your daughter’s teachers being able to pronounce them — but you can also rest assured she won’t be surrounded by 15 kids with the same name.
