What should I name her? We’re getting her in May.

Choosing a name for a newborn is such a heartwarming yet challenging experience. Since you’re expecting to welcome her in May, you might consider names that evoke the freshness and beauty of springtime. Names like May itself, or floral-inspired ones such as Lily, Daisy, or Iris, carry a bright and vibrant feel suitable for a baby born during this season. Many parents find that linking the name to the birth month adds a sentimental touch that lasts a lifetime. Another approach is to reflect qualities you hope she embodies, such as Grace, Hope, or Joy. You could also consider names from nature or mythology connected to spring or renewal. When I named my daughter, I found it helpful to list names that resonated with me and to say them aloud to see how they felt. Sharing ideas with family and friends can bring new perspectives and sometimes uncover unexpected favorites. Remember, the perfect name often grows on you and feels more special as you get to know your baby. Whichever name you choose, it will be the start of a beautiful story unique to her life. Good luck with the exciting journey ahead!
