With spring comes new life and rebirth — and the same could be said for little ones who come into the world during this season.

While babies do not have to be born in the spring, of course, to be given flowery or flourishing names, some parents may decide to pluck from the list below if warm weather is what makes them smile.

BabyCenter, an online media company under the Everyday Health Group – Pregnancy & Parenting (EHG P&P) — with offices in San Francisco, New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles — recently released its top 10 spring-themed names for boys or girls that are growing in popularity.

THE SURPRISING BABY NAMES THAT MAY BE GOING EXTINCT IN 2024

Below, check out the most anticipated spring names that celebrate "life, growth and renewal," according to Rebekah Wahlberg, baby name trends specialist at BabyCenter.
