Diana
The goddess of the moon and hunt in Roman mythology, Diana symbolizes the new beginnings and change associated with early spring. (It's also an ideal choice for royal watchers — especially fans of the late Princess of Wales.)
Patrick or Patricia
Overtly nod to the March holiday of St. Patrick's Day with a name inspired by the saint: Patrick for boys, or Patricia for girls.

Iris
Irises bloom in the early spring, their vibrant hues a beautiful symbol of renewal and hope. In Greek mythology, Iris was the Greek goddess of rainbows.
Ariel
A name for boys and girls alike, Ariel means "lion of God," nodding to strength and courage. It's also inextricably linked to The Little Mermaid, evoking the magic of the sea and March’s fluid transition from winter to spring.
Orion
A celestially inspired March baby name choice, Orion is the constellation most often seen in the March sky. In Greek mythology, Orion was a mighty hunter, reflecting traits of bravery and strength.
Chloe
Derived from Greek, Chloe means "young green shoot," representing the fresh blooms of early spring and making the sunny, short name perfect for March baby girls.
Ramsey
Ramsey nods to the ram that represents the astrological sign Aires, which begins in March. With Old English and Scottish roots meaning "wild garlic island," it connects to the changing seasons and the awakening of nature in spring.

Gentle for a baby and sophisticated for an adult, the name embodies the promise and renewal of spring. The popular name is primarily given to boys, but Asher as a girl's name is on the rise as well.
Willow
One of the first trees to show signs of life in spring, Willow symbolizes flexibility, growth, and resilience. The tree's graceful, drooping branches nod to beauty and strength, and the name evokes calmness and connection to nature.
