About this list
February names center on love: all names meaning love or related to love, including Valentine itself, are perfect for February babies.
Names connected to February's birth flowers are plentiful, as the month is symbolized by violets, primroses, and irises. February's birthstone is amethyst, which might inspire names related to purple hues.
Along with Valentina and Violet, other February baby names in the US Top 500 include Amora, David, Hattie, Jude, Levi, Lincoln, Mila, and Yaretzi. Names connected to gods and goddesses of love include Aine, Eros, Freya, and Lakshmi.
Names for a February baby can also include those of historical figures born during the month, as well as Aquarius Names and Pisces Names. If you are expecting a baby in February, these names are worth your consideration.
