Choosing your Baby name: February-Inspired Baby Name

Choosing a name for your little one is an act of love, a thread that weaves through the tapestry of their life story. Each name carries a unique charm, and what better way to infuse enchantment than by choosing a name inspired by the month they are born?

As a London newborn photographer, I often find parents looking for baby name inspiration. If you’re curious too, check out this article on February-inspired baby names. It might just add a touch of enchantment to your little one’s story.

For February babies, a touch of magic is in the air, and here are some inspired names that might just resonate with the essence of this beautiful month.

February-inspired baby names

Amethyst: The Gem of Peace and Courage. At the heart of February lies the radiant amethyst, a gemstone symbolizing peace and courage. Choosing the name Amethyst not only reflects the rich purple hue of this gem but also sets a tone of serenity and bravery for your little one’s journey through life.

Valentina/Valentino: Capturing the Essence of Love. What better month to celebrate love than February? Valentina, a name that beautifully captures the essence of love, is perfect for a February-born sweetheart. It exudes warmth and affection, echoing the sentiment that fills the air during this month. And hello!! It’s my name of course I love it 🙂

Violet: Embracing the Official Flower. As the official flower of February, the violet signifies modesty, virtue, and faithfulness. Choosing Violet for your baby girl not only connects her to the beauty of this bloom but also encapsulates the virtues associated with it.

Zephyr: Gentle Breezes and Whispers of the West Wind. Zephyr, meaning ‘west wind,’ is a name that invokes the gentle breezes that sweep through February. Delicate and breezy, this name adds a touch of poetry to your child’s identity, suggesting a spirit that moves with the grace of the wind.

Romeo: A Name Inspired by Eternal Love. Shakespearean and timeless, the name Romeo resonates with eternal love. For a boy born in the love month, Romeo is a perfect choice, embodying the passion and romance that February often brings.

Juliet: Graceful and Beautiful. Complementing Romeo, Juliet is a name that exudes grace and beauty. The female protagonist in Shakespeare’s classic, this name carries an enduring charm and sophistication, making it an elegant choice for your little girl.

Primrose: Welcoming the Blooms of Spring. While February might still be in the grip of winter, the name Primrose welcomes the early blooms of spring. Delicate and charming, it signifies the promise of new beginnings, making it a lovely choice for your baby girl.

Teddy: A Gift of Love Often associated with Valentine’s Day, the name Teddy brings a sense of warmth and cuddles. As a popular gift given on this special day, it adds a touch of endearment to your little one’s identity.

Each of these names carries a special charm, connecting your baby to the enchanting spirit of February.

When choosing a name, consider not just its sound but also the emotions and imagery it evokes. Whether it’s the peace of an amethyst, the beauty of a violet, or the timeless love of Romeo and Juliet, let the name be a reflection of the magic your baby brings into your life. So if your baby is due this month let February inspire you.

Just for fun (because it’s Friday).

A little list of things I unapologetically love.

Some of them make my job what it is.

Some are just very me.

What would be on your “Unfortunately I do love…” list?

PS. The cat is still around. He might be getting his own list soon.

What you see might be a softbox, a quiet studio, a woman with a camera.

What I see is something deeper.

A moment of stillness before the transformation.

A reminder that you don’t have to feel radiant or ready, you just have to show up.

Maternity photography isn’t about posing perfectly.

It’s about pausing meaningfully.

About telling your story in the way it deserves to be remembered.

When you’re ready to be seen, I’ll be here.

PS. I might have adopted a cat. Yes, you can see peeking in the background. He’she has been following me for days and might be unofficially moving in. Name suggestions welcome

Where did she go?

There comes a moment, sometimes in the middle of folding laundry or staring at the mirror, when you pause and wonder…

Where’s the woman I used to be?

The one who had passions and hobbies.

Who danced barefoot in the kitchen just because.

Who laughed louder, rested more, dreamed bigger.

Over the years, you’ve poured so much into others.

Held families together, juggled jobs, wiped tears, carried it all.

But who’s been holding you?

This image made me think of that inner question we don’t always say aloud.

She’s not lost.

Just waiting to be seen again.

Have you ever felt this too? I’d love to know.

PS. And you know what? A portrait session can be the start of finding your way back.

When I photograph an expecting mother, I don’t just see a bump.

I see a woman on the edge of becoming.

Becoming someone new.

Becoming more herself.

Each photo tells a story of strength, tenderness, and transformation.

And some stories are too meaningful to be left on a screen.

That’s why I believe in printing them.

Holding them.

Passing them down.

This album isn’t just for her, it’s for the child she’s carrying.

For the future hands that will open its pages and say,
“This was you. And this was me, becoming.”

Wouldn’t you love to create your own?

A boudoir workshop wasn’t on my radar a few years ago.
But now, it feels like the most natural next step.

As I grow my empowerment portrait work, this experience expanded how I see and photograph women.

We are layered. Emotional. Strong.
And this style of photography brings all of that to the surface.

I left feeling deeply inspired and ready to explore this vision even more, including with my maternity clients.

Because sometimes, one shoot can shift everything.

Thank you @magdalena_sienicka for introducing me to this form of art, so sensual, so powerful, so needed.

I’m now looking for a woman who’d love to model this concept for me.

Excited to try something bold and beautiful?
