Charming is that captivating mix of taking pride in your appearance and having a great personality, and who wouldn’t wish that for their child? Some children are naturally charming, whereas others grow into (or out of) it. Either way, those sparkling eyes and contagious laugh should have a name to match.
The special thing about charm is that it’s a quality anyone can cultivate. It goes far deeper than good looks; it is about being compelling and magnetic. A charming person delights and fascinates others, bringing joy and fun into any situation. They are the ones we tend to have the fondest memories of.
Think of the person in your life who is always smiling, always has a joke or a lovely thing to say. Their charm isn’t a physical attractiveness, it’s more undefined than that: it’s a gentleness, kindness, or general air of happiness that spreads to those around them. It’s a quality that many aspire to but can’t quite put their finger on.
Choosing a name that means charming will encourage and inspire your child, giving them something to live up to and try to embody. Some of the names included here are quite well known, if not very common, like Bonnie and Obadiah. Others, like Aretta, Raima, and Channer, are more exotic to a Western ear, but no less charming.
