Poetic Baby Names

Do you have a favorite poet you’re hoping to share with baby? From Maya Angelou to William Shakespeare, the world can be baby’s literary oyster. These names house the timeless legacy of poems eerie, lovely, and everything in between. If it’s the dark academia you crave in a lifelong companion or perhaps stirring associations with natural imagery, baby could be the next Sylvia Plath or Robert Frost. But choosing a baby name can be tricky, even with your favorite poets at the ready. However, an unexpected benefit of loving the writers from centuries of western society means you can tick multiple famous poet boxes at once when considering names like William and Emily.

If you’re less tied to a specific poet and perhaps want more of the affect of poetry for the rest of your life, a poetic baby name could be key. These names are occasionally poems' subjects or can simply evoke the spirit of your favorite little breaks from reality. A poetic baby name can be a source of inspiration for both you and baby, reminding everyone daily of what’s possible with just pen and paper.
