How to choose a Taylor Swift baby name for your Swiftie-to-be

How to choose a Taylor Swift baby name for your Swiftie-to-be

Choosing a baby name is a big deal — and if you’re here, chances are you want one that feels personal, lyrical, and a little bit magical. The beauty of Taylor Swift names is that they can be as loud-and-proud or as secret-Easter-egg as you want them to be.

Ask yourself:

  • Which era speaks to your soul? (Are you Fearless sunshine, Folklore cottagecore, or full-on Reputation dark glam?)
  • Do you want it to be obvious (Betty, James) or subtle (Cornelia, Ivy)?
  • Does the name carry a meaning that ties to your own story — the way Taylor’s songs always do?

The best part: her catalog isn’t finished. Every time Taylor drops a new album (The Life of a Showgirl is giving us endless inspiration already), the list of names grows longer. That means your Swiftie naming pool will never dry up — it’s basically like a never-ending vault of baby name options.

And let’s be real: if Taylor’s music has been your soundtrack through heartbreaks, glow-ups, dance parties, and late-night car cries, weaving that into your baby’s name feels less like a trend and more like destiny. Whether you go vintage, romantic, playful, or moody, there’s a Taylor Swift name that will feel like it was written just for you.

Because when it comes to names — just like Taylor’s lyrics — they’ll never go out of style. 🎶

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself
