Charming baby names

Refined, yet not stuffy — these baby names are absolutely charming, look great on a resume and sound awesomely sweet.

Charming is defined as having delightful characteristics — one who is charming is attractive, irresistible and aims to please. And charming baby names have a beautiful sound to them. They aren’t harsh, trendy or super unusual — but they are also not always the most common names around. Some make you think of yesteryear or classic movies. Others sound mildly exotic — but all are pleasing to the ear.

Both boys and girls can be charming and sweet. These names, for all babies, may work well as a first name, or even better as a middle name that helps the flow from your chosen first to your last. Naming a baby is a big deal, but these names may be just what you’re searching for.
