Top 3 Catholic Girl Baby Name Trends for 2025

As we wrap up 2024, I've had the joy of creating many custom Catholic baby books for expectant moms and dads all over the US. Here are 3 Catholic baby girl name trends that we're going to see in 2025: 

1. Names from the Eucharistic prayer: Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia. These traditional, but not over-used names are making a comeback for their beauty and deep connection to the early martyrs who gave their lives for Christ. These women are known for their bravery and holiness and would be a great name for a little one in today's world. 

2. Marie as a middle name. Marie has been an extremely popular Catholic middle name in 2024 and we're going to see more of it in 2025. This timeless French variation of Our Lady's name, Mary, is so sweet and matches beautifully with most first names. 

3. Names that represent a saint or holy place. Saints have symbols that represent them and their patronage. Here are some sweet girls' names with a hidden meaning.

Flor: meaning flower for St. Therese, the Little Flower. 

Lily: the Lilly is the symbol of St. Joseph and St. Kateri Tekakwitha, Lilly of the Mohawks 

Roma: After the holy city of Rome, homeplace of the Church

Lourdes: The site where Our Lady appeared in France to St. Bernadette. 

I'd love to hear what you or your friends and family are planning to name your little girls to be born in 2025!
