Finding a name for your baby girl or boy is a big responsibility and one of the first choices you will make as a new parent.
Every year the popularity of certain themes changes from greek mythology to seasons or from music to celebrities.
You may or may not be surprised that ethereal, vintage baby names have gained huge popularity during the pandemic thanks to cottagecore.
If you have never heard of that term before, cottagecore stems from the notion of going back to agricultural life and living in simplicity and harmony.
It describes a romanticized idea of living self-sustaining, tending the garden, caring for farm animals as well as baking and handcrafts.
Accordingly, the names you will find below are closely inspired by nature and its treasures as well as a bit of mythology and gemology with a sparkle of sweetness and charm.
Cottagecore names are made for anyone who enjoys their idyllic wholesomeness and wants to gift their baby the present of a meaningful and nostalgic name.
Cottagecore Names for Girls
There is always this one name that you randomly picked up one day and thought “This would be a great name for my child”.
Whether that’s through a book, song, friend, or movie.
In my case, I definitely got in the mood while reading Pride & Prejudice and just imagining what it would be like to have my daughter named like one of the many women in this novel.
If you are a classic’s bookworm like me or just simply enjoy the beautiful tone that each of these names brings with it, this list will not leave you disappointed.
These are not just names but portals that bring stories, meaning, and prejudice.
Every name has an origin tied to it and with that a special meaning and a picture that immediately pops up in one’s mind by the sound of it.

Cottagecore Names for Boys
Vintage and aesthetic names have always been popular for boys.
Their traditional and unworldly sound has a ring to it that is unique to this kind of theme.
I have collected a mix of feminine, unisex, and masculine boy names that fit every child.
Take out a pen and paper and write down each name that you just enjoy listening to and carry this sheet with you for a few weeks.
You can ask friends for advice or simply listen to yourself using these names in everyday situations.
You will quickly be able to cross a few out until you are left with the perfect one.
If you are planning on having multiple children, you can also carry a theme through all of them.
For example, if you are especially fond of trees and plants, your boys could be named Rowan, Cypress, and Oliver.
