About this list
Valentine's Day names are those with a theme and a meaning of love. Names that mean love have a wonderful feel for babies born any time of the year, but of course, seem especially appropriate for a baby born on or near February 14.
The most popular names for Valentine's Day babies are Freya for girls and Oscar for boys. Along with Freya, other Valentines Day names for girls in the US Top 1000 include Amy, Esme, and Valentina. In addition to Oscar, other Valentine's Day names for boys in the US Top 1000 include Rhys, Conor, and David.
Unique Valentine's Day baby names on our recommended list include Amias, Amedea, Hart, Cordelia, Erasmus, and Kerensa.
Along with love, we include here names that mean beloved, heart, and desire, as well as the names of mythical lovers, such as Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde.
If you're naming a Valentine's Day baby, consider one of these names connected with love and romance.
