Ideally, picking out your child's name should be one of the fun parts of baby prep. Whether your list is long and short, whether you settle on a name in the first trimester or want to wait until you lay eyes on your baby before you choose for sure, whether you go for a traditional baby name or a unique baby name — it's one of the first major decisions you'll make as a new parent. That coupled with the fact that your child will be called this name for their entire life means you'll likely want to pick carefully.

There's a lot to weigh when choosing a name. You want something that fits your little one and something that flows with your last name. You also want to consider meaning. You'll want to make sure to avoid a baby name that has an unintentional double entendre meaning (no one wants to be named the same thing as some random French laxative). But also, you may want something that has a meaning that really resonates with you. Sometimes when you know the beautiful meaning behind a name, it makes it all the more perfect for your baby.

Choosing a baby that means "light," or "love," or "warrior" can feel like the first gift you can give to your child. Giving them a meaningful name is a wonderful celebration of their little personality and who they'll grow up to be. So, with all that in mind, heck out these 100 pretty names with equally powerful meanings.
