Ethereal Baby Names (Girls, Boys, and Gender Neutral)

The Oxford English Dictionary defines “ethereal” as “pertaining to or consisting of the finest or most sensitive electrons in an atom.” In other words, something that is ethereal is incredibly delicate and light. 

It might be used to describe something that is too beautiful for this earth or not quite of this world. As a new parent, these are likely the exact feelings you will have when you first lay eyes on your child.
