Luxury Baby Names: The Key to a Richer Future?

For years, baby names have reflected cultural trends, family traditions, and personal meanings. But in 2025, parents are taking naming to a whole new level—choosing luxury names to set their little ones up for a life of sophistication and success.

Instead, new parents are looking to high fashion, exotic destinations, and aristocratic history for inspiration. Names like Valentino, Chanel, and Leopold are becoming increasingly popular, bringing a sense of elegance and exclusivity to the cradle.

According to baby name experts, this shift represents a broader cultural movement—parents hoping to manifest prosperity, style, and prestige through their child’s name. The trend isn’t just about sounding fancy; research suggests that names can influence perception and even future success.

A study analyzing the Bloomberg Billionaire Index found that names like John, David, and Michael frequently appear among the world’s wealthiest individuals.

Meanwhile, others are opting for Ivy League-inspired names such as Brooks, Vivienne, and Georgina, aiming to give their child an air of polish and refinement.

Some of the most popular luxury baby names include:

• Valentino
• Chanel
• Leopold
• Adelaide
• Anastasia
• Amara
• Zephyr
• Jasper
• Sapphire

While some may roll their eyes at the idea of a baby named Zephyr or Amara, supporters argue that a luxurious name is a parent’s first gift to their child—a symbol of the values they hope to instill.

And let’s be honest—who wouldn’t want their child to sound like they belong on a yacht in the south of France?
