Love the name Lavender and named my first child a beautiful baby girl Lavender. I use the nickname “Lavi” for her. She is 5 months old now and it really suits her.

I was 16 weeks pregnant, and my husband and I had just tested positive for COVID. We were in quarantine watching the movie “Matilda” when my husband suggested the name “Lavender”. He always said that the little girl who played that character reminded him of me and that our baby girl would look just like her. The herb, lavender, is used for healing and calm, which is exactly what we needed in that moment. It felt like confirmation. The name is unique, easy to pronounce, and can be unisex. Sometimes, people spell it ending with -ar instead of -er. We haven’t met another Lavender yet.

It’s a symbol of the spiritual and physical healing I went through before she arrived. I knew her name years before I got pregnant and I love that it’s her own. It’s unique, sweet, therapeutic, calming, strong, clear, pure, solid and serene. I love everything about it. My mother is battling cancer and it is as if her first grandchild is a beautiful and healing reminder of strength and transformation. She embodies her name.
