Baby names inspired by all things love: The perfect choice for your soon-to-be mini-Valentine
A love-related name might be a lovely choice for a little one born on (or around) Valentine's Day, or on a special day, like your wedding anniversary or, you know, just because you love love!
From names that mean love, to monikers symbolic of the big feeling, there is so much inspiration around for boys and girls.
So, with so much to love about names, here are some beautiful ideas for names that are inspired by it.
Scroll through for some inspo!
Adore
To adore someone is to love them so why not head down this road when it comes to the perfect name for your little girl?
Adore simply means "to love" and while it does seem a bit cliché, it still works as a sweet little girls name.
Amy
It's a name that was huge in the '70s and through to the '90s but slowly dropping in popularity, but it's the meaning that matters here.
Amy is of French origin and means "beloved" something that sounds oh-so sweet as a baby name.
If the standard three-letter spelling isn't for you, you can opt for variants like Aimee, Amie or Ami.
Carys
For the parents who want something that's so far off the radar of being popular, Carys is the name for you.
The name is of Welsh origin meaning "love" and has a really lovely pretty but cool vibe to it.
And according to Nameberry, just 22 girls were named Carys in 2023, proving it's really unique.
Cordelia
OK so we all know vintage names are back in a big way but Cordelia is one to add to your list for so many reasons.
Firstly it absolutely nails the old-fashioned vibes that a lot of soon-to-be parents are looking for while still having a freshness to it, and the meaning is beautiful.
Of Latin origins, Cordelia means "heart; daughter of the sea" and a really lovely way to pay tribute to your love of the water too if you have one.
Mabel
Again, vintage vibes are so on trend and my gosh this is just such a sweet name on so many levels.
Mabel just sounds like a gorgeous, curly haired little toddler, but also the name means "loveable" which fits it to a tee.
Slowly creeping back into the top charts, it might gain some traction in years to come.
Rose
When it comes to Valentine's Day and really any other special day about love - like a wedding or anniversary - and flowers are involved, it's always roses.
The name is of Latin origin and simply means "a flower".
It has the sweet feelings of the gorgeous perfumed flowers, while also just being really pretty.
Suki
This name might not be on your radar yet... but there's a lot to love about Suki.
Suki is a girl's name of Japanese origin meaning "loved one; lily" but it's also a diminutive of Susanna, making it a creative and modern way to honour a Susan in your life.
