In the same way that the pandemic has brought Montessori to the forefront, it has made cottagecore popular. Cottagecore is a lifestyle trend with a back-to-nature focus and it now extends beyond day-to-day to include baby names. While some cottagecore names – like Lily, River and Rose – have been growing in popularity for a few years now, the bucolic vibes are truly out in full force this year – think Poppy, Iris and Ivy. Inspiration for the names range from the vintage (think Victoria) to the environmental (think Sky).
