If you're expecting to bring a baby girl into the world in the near future, it's soon time for one of your first parenting decisions—picking a name. But with so many options to choose from, it can also seem a little daunting. The good news is you've already narrowed it down to a nature name that starts with the letter W. Good choice! Some of the most beautiful nature names for girls start with the letter W. Here are some ideas to jumpstart your search:
Baby names that end in -ow have experienced a burst of popularity this century, and Willow is one of the most popular representatives of this stylish group of names. In addition to boasting the charming -ow ending, Willow stands out as a meaning-rich moniker, offering a range of possible meanings for those who are willing to delve deeper into its symbolism.
Unlike the other names on this list, Wren doesn't actually begin with the W-sound but with a silent W. Still, it's one of the top choices among parents looking for a nature-inspired girl's name that starts with the letter W. Wren's sleek, monosyllabic sound has undoubtedly contributed its soaring success, as has its perky, spirited image—courtesy of the lively and loud feathery namesake. We also think Wren and Willow would make an awesome sibling set!
Summer started the trend of seasonal baby names more than half a century ago, but today, Winter and Autumn are equally valid options. If you like the crisp Winter, you can choose between the straight-up Winter and the surnamey Wynter—both are ranking for girls in the U.S. Regardless of which spelling you choose, nicknames Winn and Winnie make wonderful nicknames.
If you're naming a character in a novel, Wisteria could be perfect. If you need a W-name for an actual baby, Wisteria could still be an option—if you're a staunch individualist looking for a unique flower name for a baby girl.
Just one letter away from the seventies' sweetheart Wendy, this breezy nature name was given to more than two thousand baby girls during the seventies. Since then, Windy has been overtaken by its more fierce cousin, Stormy.
Wave is not completely unheard of as a given name, but it does feel a little light for a standalone name. If you agree but still feel oddly drawn to this mini moniker, you could use the twenty-first century style star Waverly as the formal name, and Wave as a cute nickname.
Looking for a botanical path to the retro-cool nickname Winnie? Try Winika, which is also the name of an orchid species.
Got a Baby "W" on its way? Whether you've got your heart set on the twenty-first-century favorite Willow or have decided to make a splash with Wave, your baby's nursery won't feel complete without some gorgeous, personalized art.
