1. Clover Clover is associated with wealth and good luck — plus it's a super sweet name for a springtime babe.

2. Navin Navin is a popular hindu boy name meaning "youthful." With a slight tweak, it becomes Navinna, which works well for a girl.

3. Mae (or May) Mae has an old-world Hollywood vibe and offers a nod to one of our favourite springtime months. For parents who want to go a bit retro, this one's a winner!

4. Denver You might think John when you hear the word Denver (or how about Colorado?), but there's more to this name than a famous folk singer. Denver means "green valley," which makes it an excellent spring-y name.

5. Chloe Chloe — and its various incarnations — has been made popular by the A-list crowd (Khloé Kardashian, Chloë Sevigny...). But the feminine name is actually quite down to earth, literally. It means "young green shoot." And Chloe made the top 10 most popular baby names of 2015. 

6. Haruko We love this Japanese girl name that means "spring child."

7. Willow There's something so boho-chic about Willow. We love this dreamy name for a wee girl.

9. Vesna Vesna is the namesake of the Slavic spirit associated with springtime.

Unisex - Eden (unisex, meaning delight or paradise...think the Garden of Eden) - Sunny (perfect, simple and straight to the point)
