12 Baby Names That Prove That Long Is Oh-So-Lovely

Lately, shorter names, often sporting just one syllable, has been quite the trend among parents when naming their babies. But we think there is a lot to be said for longer names too, mamas, so don't shy away from this when selecting a moniker for your brand new bundle. For starters, they are wonderfully versatile, and lend themselves perfect to all sorts of cute nice-names. If you are still a little unsure, just look at some of our current favourite – and lovely – names: 1. Seraphina LOVE this name (that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner also opted for when naming their second daughter!). 2. Jameson Because James is so done to death by now. 3. Cordelia How stunning is this name?! 4. Valentino For all you fashion loving  mamas out there! 5. Felicity Cute and quirky! 6. Sebastian Classic and cool. 7. Marielle We think this name is all sorts of pretty. 8. Maximus You can call him 'Max' or 'Maxie' for shorts, obvs. 9. Petronella We think this name sounds all sorts of IT-girl, and you can shorten it to the adorably cute "Nella" too! 10. Constantine So sleek. 11. Anastasia Forget about the "50 shades" reference, we think Anastasia is one chic moniker. 12. Nathaniel We love how old-school and fabulous this name sounds.
