When you're choosing a name for your baby, there all sorts of factors that you consider. From the origin to the meaning, to the way it will sound when you call it out. If you are keen on naming your baby with a “V” name, your options are actually pretty vast and versatile. So if you're looking for the perfect name for the little one on the way, check out this variety of vibrant baby names that start with “V”. (Seriously, I can't stop with the V adjectives.)
It’s hard to explain, but there’s something about certain letters that make you feel some kind of way and draw you in. When I was naming my daughters, I was adamant that their names should start with the letter “A”, because I just felt so drawn to the way it looked when written, and the way it sounded. “V” is also one of those letters that can be scripted beautifully and “V” names tend to have their own distinct aura and warmth. I also find them to be pretty unique, while also being classic. "V" is such a romantic letter for some reason and your options abound for your sweet little babe.
