Cosy and nostalgic – 15 ‘cottagecore’ baby names for post-pandemic babies

Trine Jensen-Burke

Having lived through the absolute mess that was 2020 and 2021, I think it is no wonder that most of us are gravitating towards all things cosy, warm, nostalgic and safe.

And with this in mind, it really is no wonder that that cottagecore, a lifestyle trend that favours a back-to-nature, rural-countryside, nostalgic vibe, has taken over not only fashion and interior trends lately, but is even having an impact on the names parents are picking for their newborns too.

From Winnie to River, Sage and Magnolia, cottagecore names are really having a moment, and popular baby name websites predict the trend will last well into 2022 as well, as we all stumble our way towards a post-pandemic world.
