Finding a unique name is not easy these days – more parents are seeking inspiration from the more luxurious aspects of life
Key Points:

- Name brands, elegant cities, and rare gemstones are now acceptable names and in high demand
- Expert reveals the most luxurious baby names gaining popularity that could become commonplace in a short time
Choosing a baby name today is often more than just a nod to tradition or a family homage; it has blossomed into an art form of self-expression. Modern parents are navigating a world where individuality is king, and the names bestowed upon newborns are no exception.
In recent years, names that resonate with opulence have been favored for their ability to convey prestige and sophistication. Whether inspired by high fashion, royal lineage, precious gemstones, or exotic locales, these names shape a narrative of elegance that many parents find appealing.
“Personalization in the modern era is paramount – parents are curating names with the same discernment they apply to their own lifestyle choices,” says Annalisa Thomas, spokesperson for Oilo Studio, a luxury nursery brand. “These names represent a child’s first gift from their parents and the values they wish to instill.”
As the trend towards luxury in baby naming continues to rise, these names serve as defining elements that outline the script for their children’s lives.
1. Valentino
Originating from the Latin word “Valens,” meaning strong or healthy, the name Valentino means “Strong as a valiant man.” Though the name is connected to Saint Valentine, fashion designer Valentino Garavani popularized it. Valentino is also said to be associated with strength and good looks.
2. Adelaide
Adelaide has royal roots, derived from the Old High German name “Adalheidis”, meaning “noble nature” or “nobility.” It was also the name of the 19th-century British queen consort, Queen Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, known for her charity work and compassion. These facts leave the name Adelaide symbolizing regality and grace.
3. Leopold
With Germanic roots meaning “bold people,” Leopold carries centuries of royal heritage. The name adorned kings, emperors, and princes throughout history, including Queen Victoria’s beloved uncle King Leopold of Belgium. Its lasting appeal spans literature and film, from James Joyce’s famous character Leopold Bloom to romantic movies like “Kate and Leopold,” which makes it a savvy choice for modern parents.
4. Anastasia
This name is of Greek origin, meaning “resurrection.” It carries royal connotations, particularly through its association with the famous Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. The name gives off a fairy tale vibe with a touch of timeless class.
5. Amara
With roots in multiple cultures, Amara means “eternal” in Sanskrit, “beloved” in Latin, and “grace” in Igbo. This name has universal appeal and indisputable charm yet is still humble without giving up any class.
6. Zephyr
This name has Greek origins, meaning “west wind.” “The name Zephyr brings to mind a feeling of calm and easy grace, making it a perfect example of modern sophistication,” adds Annalisa.
7. Chanel
Inspired by the iconic brand and fashion designer Coco Chanel, this name has become quite popular but hasn’t lost any of its grace. “The name Chanel is synonymous with high fashion, class, and is one of the most recognizable status symbols on the planet,” says Annalisa.
8. Jasper
While Jasper is a precious stone known for its varieties and earthy beauty, it carries literary and historical significance as a name, most notably as one of the three wise men in biblical terms. It blends a sense of mystique with a grounded, natural luxury. “Make no mistake, this name’s origins are firmly rooted in luxurious beginnings,” states Annalisa.
9. Sapphire
Associated with one of the most sought-after gemstones, the name Sapphire denotes wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. Its bright blue color and ties to jewelry immediately create a sense of enchantment for anyone introduced to a person with this name.
10. Geneva
As a name inspired by the cosmopolitan Swiss city, Geneva conjures up images of international diplomacy and pristine natural beauty. For those who plan to take their child jet-setting across borders, this name will fit right in and earn respect all over the globe.
Annalisa Thomas, a Spokesperson for Oilo Studio, Comments:
“It’s fascinating seeing how societal values and cultural aspirations are reflected in the names we choose for our children. In recent years, luxurious baby names have been on the rise, mirroring a broader trend towards personalization and distinction in the earliest stages of identity formation. Names like these don’t go out of style.
“As modern culture expands and shifts, the appeal of such names will likely persist, driven by our shared desire for meaning, identity, and connection to a broader narrative of class, elegance, and sophistication.”
