Naming a girl is one of the most exciting aspects of planning for her.
For me, it is not just about choosing a name that sounded pretty and beautiful, but instead something that feel right in your heart.
You might be a traditional, timeless name lover or a daringly unusual one, and when it comes to choosing a name there is so much to think about and imagine.
And these feminine girl names are just so beautiful.
They can be graceful and elegant, playful and sweet, or powerful and inspiring.
The best part? There are no rules anymore!
You can name her after nature, a myth, or a style statement. You could pass on the family lineage, or start a new one.
Here are a lot of names to get your mind moving, from fairy-tale to rough and tumble.
All names are handpicked with affection, consideration and imagination so that you have just the right one.
So let’s take a look at some of the most beautiful feminine names and choose one as amazing as your little girl will be.
