Move over, modern baby names.

Move over, modern baby names. Cottagecore baby names are taking over! Just look at fashion brands like LoveShackFancy, Hill House Home, DOEN, and The Great with their love of intricate lace, eyelet, petite florals, and romantic ruffles. It’s even becoming a hot trend in nursery wallpaper with prints that bring the outdoors in through natural garden elements and whimsical wildlife.

One of our favorite past Mini features with mom of four Bethany Ciotola (found here on Page 110!) offers a glimpse into this idyllic way of life, with her stunning 1870’s Georgian home filled with sweeping murals and her iconic, dress-centric wardrobe.

But what exactly is Cottagecore? The concept itself is rooted in rural English and European life, romanticizing a slower pace, with more time to quite literally, smell the roses. It’s often nostalgic-ridden, with less of an emphasis on the digital age (no phone notifications here!) and more on finding joy in the little things (think, coffee in the garden). 

It’s no surprise that the vintage-inspired lifestyle—sometimes referred to as Urban Prairie—that’s swept through both the fashion and interior design worlds has also entered the baby name space. In fact, these nature-loving names are moving their way up the charts even in 2023!
