Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Choosing a Baby Girl Name in 2020


Expecting a girl? One of the many exciting things you need to do to prepare for the little one’s arrival is to choose the perfect name. There’s a lot to consider when choosing a baby name for your daughter: Do you want a family name or something completely new? Something unique or something popular?

If you’re having trouble choosing, it can be helpful to research baby naming trends so you have an idea of what types of names are on the rise and which may be falling out of fashion. I’ve done a little research to get you started, so read on to see what girl baby names are predicted to be popular in 2020!

2020 Trends for Baby Girl Names


Nature – Names inspired by nature are on the rise, and you’re likely to see Rainbow, Luna, Lily, Stella, Violet, Aurora, Willow, Autumn, Ivy, and others on top-100 baby name lists for this year.

Gemstones – Names based on gemstones are also becoming more popular for girls. Ruby and Jade are especially big right now, but Opal and Pearl are also climbing the lists.

Female Athletes – With the popularity of sports, there’s been a greater number of baby girls named after female athletes. Coco and Naomi have already gotten a bump in popularity as baby names, and given that the 2020 Olympics are coming up, baby name experts are predicting more names like Simone, Allyson, Dalilah, Alex, Megan, and Carli.

“Boy” Names – Unisex names have been a hot trend for a while, and that’s expected to continue. Drew, Ryan, Tyler, Max, and Stevie are currently seen in both the pink and blue columns of baby name lists. Other traditionally male names like Ari, River, Cameron, Tatum, Sam, Emery, Corie, and Frankie are predicted to rise in popularity for girls as well.

Whatever name you choose for your daughter, it’s important that it feels right to you, and that you believe it’s a name that will suit her from babyhood all the way through her adult years. With hundreds of thousands of names to choose from, it can be tough to narrow it down—but you’re also guaranteed to hit on one you love!

Sweet little Bennett is so lucky to have such a great family.  His big brother is absolutely adorable and his parents are just so nice :)  I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them!  Bennett is an alert little guy!  He wants to be awake and look at my light and take everything in around him :)  Reminds me of my older daughter.  Enjoy!

Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Emmett!

This little guy was so precious! Sarah and Brian brought in their new cutie Emmett for newborn photos back in November. (I’m actually having a hard time believing we’re already through the first quarter of 2022! Is that just me?) He was a total sweetheart! Parents are always welcome to bring special items from home. In this case, mom and dad brought a colorful quilt that a family member had made. Even though our session took place in the fall, the quilt’s bright colors reminded me of spring!

Since this newborn photography session took place just a month before Christmas, mom and dad requested a holiday setup. This is always a fun option if your session takes place shortly before a major holiday like Christmas or Easter. It’s generally easy to work in just a single holiday-themed setup, and these k...
