What's not to love about spring? The chill has finally left the air, giving way to balmy sunshine. The days are longer and everything is in bloom in this season of rebirth. If you've recently become pregnant or will be giving birth this season, get inspired by this list of lovely spring baby names for boys and girls.
- Aya. Hebrew for "bird" or "fly swiftly," this airy little girl's name is a top-50 pick in Denmark. It also means "wonderful" or "miracle" in Arabic and "colorful one" or "beautiful" in Japanese — all fitting ways to describe spring.
- Atwell. A British baby boy name with a pretty literal meaning — "at the well." You could call your son "Atty" for short.

- Dahlia. If you love names like Rose or Violet, you might want to consider this Scandinavian moniker inspired by the perennial flower.
- Juniper. Pretty, isn't it? This evergreen shrub is also an English baby girl name; June makes an adorable nickname.
- Kai. Of Polynesian origin, this cool baby boy name means "sea."
- Lake. This is an elegant, original name for a special baby girl. Think actress Lake Bell.
- Lark. Short for Skylark, this English bird-inspired name for a girl also works for a baby boy. It conjures up a lovely scene of blue skies and flowering fields.
- Leif. A strong baby boy name that has a garden ring to it but actually means "beloved," "heir" or "lucky" in Scandinavian.
