Romantic Baby Names
Romanticism exists in all forms of entertainment! Whether it’s film and literature or visual works and music, romance is pervasive because the pursuit of love is pervasive. Romantic baby girl, boy, and gender-neutral names capture this endless human quest and celebrate the works of fact and fiction that make it all the more pleasurable a journey.

What makes a romantic baby name?
Romance comes in many forms. It can be in the wind on a sweeping landscape, the harmonies between strings, or the intense love whipped up by being part of the world. Romantic baby names aren’t any different! Their various meanings make the quizzical mind yearn to know more about its bearer; from Ambrose to Tristan, these darling baby names invoke the spirit of romance with every letter.
How has romance affected different cultures?
Romance, of course, has an array of relationship connotations. It can be a part of dating, music, literature, and societal movements. Consider the vast collections of paintings and music from their respective romantic eras that have greatly shaped society. From Verdi’s Requiem to the artists inspired by—and egging on—the French Revolution, like Henry Fuseli and Caspar David Friedrich, these artists shaped the world! But even more generally, through the medium of community rather than the brush or baton, humans found that connection was an essential part of survival. Being able to love and care for others, while not the most traditional definition of “romance,” has always been crucial to living healthfully and happily. So, though it looks different around the world, perhaps expressed through food, dance, or other arts, it all amounts to the same thing; to care for one another is to truly live.
What are the most romantic baby names?
Of course, where romance is concerned, there are countless tales proliferating its high standing in society. Consider the ancient stories of Venus, born from sea foam and often depicted as the supreme image of beauty. Or perhaps much more recently, the beloved story of Kathy and Heathcliff in the gothic Wuthering Heights novel. Or even Rose from the Titanic or Rochester from Jane Eyre, romantic figures are the long-lasting food of love. But perhaps the most romantic names are the ones with stories yet untold, leaving the whole world to be baby’s oyster—or clamshell, depending on who you ask.
