My Top Name Picks
- Nell
Okay, so I know I could be a bit partial, since this is my nickname, but Nell, Nelle, and Nella are having a moment on social media right now, which leads me to believe it might be having a moment nation-wide right now. However, not so much of a moment that it’s popular, so it strikes that balance. Plus, it means light!
- Nova
What a lovely name! I love it. If you like short names and a unique pick for your baby girl, this name might just be right up your alley. Nova is a sudden burst of light on a star but the name means new. So, you could see her as a new light in your life.
- Ember
An ember is a small piece of flame and the name means spark or burning flame. I mean, come on! What a name! I love this for summer and for any baby girl who will be seen as a burning light in their family’s life. And as a nickname you could call her Em or Emmy.
- Daisy
Daisy is having a moment in pop culture right now with the runner-up on The Bachelor being named Daisy. In fact, according to the Social Security Admin site, Daisy has been growing in popularity every year since 2020 but it’s still far enough down the list to be considered uncommon. I love that in a name, a name that strikes the balance between uncommon yet a name most everyone knows. And let’s face it, Dasiy’s are cute and sweet and remind us of the warm weather of spring and summer, so what a better name for a little girl?
