15 Baby Names Beginning With "F" That Are Fabulous

by Ni'Kesia Pannell

If you plan on having more than one child, it's not so uncommon to want to give them all first names that begin with the same letter. When I was in middle school, there were many siblings whose names had the same first letters and even were similar in spelling. One set of siblings I remember were Fabien and Fabiana. Their names were so similar, that it was easy to tell they were related. If you're like Fabien and Fabiana's parents and want to stick with the letter "F," there are many baby names beginning with "F," would be perfect to choose from.

Until you have to think about it, you never really realize how many great names there are that begin with the letter "F." From Frederick and Fraizer to Faye and Fiona, there are so many names that you can name your baby that are fabulous. Though I've never considered using the letter "F" as a start to my future bundle of joy's name, there are plenty of people who would love to.

If you're currently expecting, or just want to get a head start on what you could possibly name your future son or daughter, try considering these following "F" names as possibilities.

1

Faith

Though I've never really personally known someone by the name of Faith, I remember falling in love with the name when Eliza Dushku played the character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Latin based word, which means, "confidence, trust, or belief," is adorable your little baby girl.

2

Flynn

Used as both a surname and a first name, the name Flynn has an Irish meaning of "son of a red-haired man."

3

4

Made popular with the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Celtic baby name means "rock."

5

The beautiful baby girl name Fatima is an Arabic name that means "captivating," and is mentioned in the Koran as the Prophet Muhammad's daughter.

6

My grandfather was the first person to make me fall in love with the name Forest, but it was the movie Forrest Gump that proved it was used more commonly than I assumed. Coming from the French language, Forest means "woodsman or woods."

9

Fern

Fern is a baby girl's name and means, "a green plant that loves shade." How cute would it be to have your daughter Fern be a little gardener?

10

Thanks to BET's 106 and Park back in the early 2000s, I was introduced to the name Free as a female name due to one of their original hosts. That same host even went on to collaborate with Queen Bey in the song "Fighting Temptation." According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word free means "not physically held by something."

15

Forde

An English derived name, Forde means "a shallow place used to cross a river or stream." Although it's usually used as a surname, it works well as a first name for a boy as well.
