Valentine’s Day Baby Names Mean Love

Romance may initially strike you as too ardent of a name for a baby, but given that Love has been a fast-rising name in recent years — not to mention soundalikes Roman and Romy — Romance is well-suited to our current naming climate. Presently, it makes the charts for baby boys but not baby girls.
 
Romance could also be considered a literary name, through its definition of "love story", along with its associations with medieval tales of chivalry and with the Romantic writers and poets of the 18th and 19th century. 
 
Given to 9 boys in a recent year, parents in the future might be inspired by influencers Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan who used Romance as a middle name for their son in 2024, first name Locket. 
 
Romance also appeared as a masculine option in the movie KPOP Demon Hunters, in which it is the performance name of one of the characters, Romance Saja.

The name Romance is a girl's name meaning "romance; love story; a medieval story of chivalry".

Romance may initially strike you as too ardent and whimsical of a name for a baby, but given that the likes of Love and Dream have been a fast-rising name in recent years — not to mention soundalike Romy — Romance is well-suited to our current naming climate. 
 Romance could also be considered a literary name, through its definition of "a love story", along with its associations with medieval tales of chivalry and with the Romantic writers and poets of the 18th and 19th century. It might then appeal to those who also like Poem and Story. 
 
Currently, it has only ranked as a boys name in the US but this could change in the future, especially if parents take inspiration from influencers Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan. They used Romance as a middle name for their son in 2024, while their daughter received the first name Poetry, and we could see some parents deciding to use Romance "Romy" for a girl.

Romance is occasionally used for boys in 2024.
