Baby will always be, well, your baby in your eyes, and you can use this Greek name to reflect that. Malva, a girl's name, means "slender" or "delicate." As a Scandinavian name, Malva can mean "soft," giving the name an all-round feeling of gentleness. Baby can look to their name as a reminder that it's okay to embrace their tender-hearted side and that there's strength in quietness.
