Cottagecore baby names capture a cozy, storybook version of country life — sun-warmed kitchens, wildflower meadows, hand-knit blankets and slow, unhurried mornings. The aesthetic took off on Pinterest and TikTok as a love letter to a simpler, homespun past, and cottagecore names carry that same feeling: vintage, gentle, and rooted in nature. They’re the sweet, heirloom-sounding picks that look like they belong on a hand-embroidered sampler.

What makes a name “cottagecore”?
