100 Charming Fairy Names for Your Delicate, Sweet and Enchanting New Bundle of Joy

Naming your new baby is serious business. After all, it's a label that they will be stuck with for their entire life. Because of that, a safe bet may be to go with a classic name. However, the trend seems to be to pick something unique that won't be shared with five other kids in any given class. If you grew up reading fairy tales and Disney classics, you may have a special memory of some of the enchanting fairies. Most of them had whimsical names with an endearing ring to them. Although Tinker Bell, of Peter Pan, probably isn't the first choice for a baby name, there are plenty of other charming fairy baby names that you could choose from.

When you think of fairies, there are a few words that come to mind. Sweet, cute, delicate and mischievous are all good descriptors that could be just perfect for your new addition.

Many of the names given to fictional fairies come from what we see in nature. Other times, a name means "fairy" itself or "small-winged one." Some of these names are from A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR)—the super popular book series. Most of the names have a cute and delicate feel and are most suitable for girls. However, names like Beck or Beagan also have masculine tones to them. Typically, fairy names will simply put a smile on your face.

To give you a little inspiration, here are 100 of the most charming fairy names that you may like that have origins from all over the world.
