Spring, glorious spring! If you’re expecting your baby any day now and want to give your new arrival a seasonal name, we’ve got just what you need.
Of course, the obvious floral names spring to mind (pardon the pun), but if you’re looking for something more unusual, read on!
spring baby names
1. Anemone
A beautiful floral name that is far less common than other spring flowers, Anemone means ‘daughter of the wind’. Pronounced ‘ah-NEM-oh-nee’, the ancient Greek myth behind this flower accounts for its other name – windflower.
2. Aries
A cute Zodiac sign name that commemorates your baby’s birthdate, we love this unusual name. As an Aries, your baby will be the leader of the pack, spontaneous and daring Let’s see if he lives up to his name!
3. April
A cute name for babies born in, well, April, this is one of the most popular month names around. Meaning ‘to open’, the rise in popularity could be due to Kate Winslet’s adaptation of character ‘April Wheeler’ in the 2008 adaption of Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road.
