Baby

US Popularity Rank: 7939

Origin: British

Meaning: Infant

Nobody puts Baby in a corner, and nobody should overlook this sweet girl's name. Baby, which has English roots, will be a constant reminder that baby will always be your little one, no matter how old they might be. You can use this name as a diminutive for the vintage-feeling Barbara, but it's probably most familiar from the classic film Dirty Dancing. Frances Houseman, more famously known as Baby, has an idealism and love for life that's perfect for your little one to try and embody—even if they’re not quite as light on their feet.
