17 spiritual baby names
Whether you're religious or not, these names all have a lovely other-worldly charm...
If you have a strong faith, you might love the idea of giving your little one a spiritual baby name that represents the belief you have.
But even if you don't follow a religion, you may still find these names – from all around the world, and representing many beliefs – really beautiful.
Many of the names here are ethereal and other-worldly, meaning the classic earthly 'boys' and 'girls' labels don't really apply, so we've just featured one list of gender-neutral names.
