Are you due a Valentines Day baby?
Or do you plan on conceiving a little cherub on this day of love and romance…?
Then why not opt for a ‘romantic’ themed name?
Baby names that are derived from ‘Love’...
- Amorette – ooh la la! French for ‘little love’.
- Aziza – arabic for ‘loved’, and also a character in the amazing novel ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ by Khaled Hosseini, my favourite book.
- Carys – Welsh for love!
- Femi – Nigerian for ‘love me’!
- Demetri – derived from Demetrius, Greek god of fertility.
- Freya – Norse goddess of love and fertility.
- Imogen – Greek for ‘beloved child’.
- Lennan – Irish for ‘sweetheart’.
- Milena – Czech for ‘love, warmth and grace’.
- Neha – means love in Sanskrit.
- Thaddeus – Aramaic for ‘heart’.
Romantic-themed baby names...
- Valentine/Valentina – for obvious reasons!
- Aurora – such a poetic name, the Greek goddess of Sunrise and also the name of the protagonist in the Disney film ‘Sleeping Beauty’…
- Chloe – often featured in 17th Century romantic poetry and literature, such as Greek romance Daphnis and Chloe.
- Darcy – Pride and Prejudice fans will get this one!
- Bennet – another Pride and Prejudice inspired name!
- Scarlet – red is the colour of romance and passion, so it’s fitting.
- Ruby – for the same reasons as Scarlet!
- Rose – the flower most commonly associated with love and romance…
- Humphrey – ‘Casabalanca’ fans will like this one!
- Ingrid – another ‘Casabalanca’ inspired name!
(Romeo & Juliet were intentionally missed due their love story being so tragic.)
