I just love the name Amara. It’s strong and soft, meaning “everlasting” and “immortal.” It’s just one of those names that truly stands the test of time and feels artsy and interesting.

Not just the first name of a certain Hollywood humanitarian, this gorgeous baby name means “angel.”

In Hebrew, this lovely-sounding name means “lioness.” However, you may be more familiar with its musical association — it’s an expressive melody sung by a single voice. And if you were a fan of Pretty Little Liars, you’ll recognize it as the name of a main character from the series.

If you’ve always loved the name Jewel but want something with a bit more artistry, consider Bijou — this charming name means “jewel” in French.

This sweet name means “bright; famous little bird,” and honestly, how cute is that? Jessica Simpson chose this nature-y name for her youngest daughter.

This sleek one-syllable name hails from Scottish and northern Irish roots. It means “dweller on the plain, field, or battlefield.”

This name of English origin means “happy, carefree.” Fitting, since your baby will undoubtedly bring you a lot of joy.

From the Greek word meaning “thunder,” this is perfect for nature lovers. Of course, it’s also ideal for lovers of literature, thanks to the three novel-writing Brontë sisters: Charlotte, Emily, and Anne.

This softly pretty traditional name means “heavenly.” Bonus: If you grew up reading about Babar’s elephant kingdom, this name likely makes you think of Queen Celeste.

Clarissa has such a cool, clean vibe, and the name means “clear, bright, famous.” It doesn’t get much more aesthetic than that.

This gender-neutral name means “glory; pride.” In addition to being a shortened version of the powerful Egyptian queen Cleopatra, Cleo (spelled as the variant Clio) is the name of the ancient Greek mythological muse of heroic poetry.

Not just Julia Roberts’ character name in The Pelican Brief, this sassy name means “deer park,” making it a nice choice for animal lovers. Fans of the more recent Big Little Lies may also associate it with Darby Camp, the young actress who played Reese Witherspoon’s daughter.

Remember O. Henry’s altruistic “The Gift of the Magi”? The selfless young wife of the story is named Della — a likely nod to the fact that this German name means “noble.”

The name Delphine has several aesthetic associations. To start, it has two meanings: “dolphin” and “womb,” the latter due to the fact that ancient Greeks believed the city of Delphi was the womb of the earth. But also, the sophisticated name conjures images of the delphinium, a bluebell-like flower.

Of Cornish origin, Elowen means “elm.” It’s gaining popularity in the U.S., spawning spelling variations like Elowyn and Elowynn.

This gender-neutral name has a quiet strength — in fact, it means “brave” or “powerful.” The name is British and is truly the perfect moniker for any surname.

Although this enchanting name means “wild boar in a woodland clearing,” many people associate it with the idea of forever — or “lasting life.” One of the fastest-rising names of the last decade, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan chose it for their daughter in 2013. A popular spelling variation? Everleigh.

This traditional name derives from the “hazelnut tree,” which will likely appeal to nature lovers. It’s also a beautiful greenish-gold color and, if you want to lean into the magical side of the word, hazel wands symbolize protection.

This lovely name means “river,” as well as “praise.” However, it’s important to note that co-opting India as a name has imperial roots. This aesthetic option is best suited for someone who has Indian lineage.

The name of a heady Southern flower, this moniker might seem old-fashioned at first. But in reality, it’s making a comeback for its modern vintage vibes. If Magnolia seems like a mouthful, you could always opt for the sweet nickname “Maggie.”

Full of old-fashioned Gallic appeal, Marguerite boasts two equally aesthetic meanings: “daisy” and “pearl.” Fun fact: Maya Angelou was born Marguerite (her little brother shortened it!).

You’ve probably heard the names Harlow and Arlo trending lately, right? Well, meet their sophisticated and cool cousin, Marlowe. Meaning “driftwood,” this gender-neutral name would be great for a family who loves the beach or lake. While it’s often spelled with an -e on the end in the feminized version, its variants include Marlo and Marlow.

A Greek name meaning “help,” Ophelia has long been tied to the tragic heroine of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. However, it has popped up in recent years — in 2014, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl named his daughter Ophelia Saint.

This lovely name comes from the Latin prima rosa, meaning “first rose.” Which makes sense, given primrose flowers are some of spring’s first flowers.

Quinn is that girl, you know? This gender-neutral name means “wise” or “sense,” and has a really cool, aesthetic sound to it.

So soft and lovely, Rosaline is just a gorgeous name. It means “horse” or “tender, soft” and has some deep medieval roots. This is a gal who can handle what she needs to, and I love all the nickname options with it.

A sweet French name meaning “russet,” Roux is perfect for an auburn-haired child or if you’re someone who’s drawn to earthy tones.

An elegant name of Greek origin, Tessa means “harvester.” While it originated from the longer Theresa, it’s used mostly on its own today.

A variation of the Celtic name Ula, this unique name means “gem of the sea.” Short, simple, and beautiful. And if you did want to go with a longer name and use Uli as a given nickname, you could make it the shortened form of Eulalia (also highly aesthetic!).

For those who are inspired by all shades of violet, this beauty of a name means “purple.” If you’re more drawn to names that end in -a, Violetta is just as lovely.

Not just the name of a Taylor Swift song, this sweet name means “willow tree” or “freedom,” which conjures up such a peaceful image for your baby girl.

Give your beautiful baby girl a strong and elegant name, just like Angelina Jolie did for her eldest daughter. Zahara means “to shine; flower” for those who are intrigued by bright blooms.
