Life
Despite the push against using names for baby girls that every other baby will have, there's something to be said for trendy names, especially the ones that are currently popular. Names are popular for a reason, and these ones are especially gorgeous. If you're on the hunt for a baby name that won't be going out of style any time soon, look no further.
These names are classics, many of which were brought back into the spotlight from years past; names that you probably remember from your grandparent's generation are popular once again. So if you're a fan of vintage sounding names, you're in luck. There are also many gender-neutral or traditionally boy's names growing in popularity for little girls — and it's a trend that's here to stay.
Though there is something to be said about unique or invented names, sometimes sticking with the classics is the way to go, even if your child will know others with her same name. The beauty of spellings, nicknames, and pronunciations is that you can tweak already popular names to give them a hint of uniqueness fit only for your daughter.
So don't worry about a number on a chart when you're choosing a name, because ultimately, it's about much more than that.
