Fairycore (faecore, fairywave, or fairy core) is an aesthetic style inspired by fairies. It is all about the magic of nature and incorporates soft pastels, flowers, butterflies, shimmery water, bows, crystals, fairy wings, and everything magical. Unlike the cottagecore aesthetic, fairycore is more romantic and whimsical. Envision unicorns, an enchanted forest, and elements of magic. The hashtag has more than one billion views (and counting) on TikTok, so it’s safe to say fairycore is here to stay. Most likely, this is because the new trend is all about adding a bit of magic into everyday life, so why not also go for a baby name that does the same? Fairycore names carry an air of beauty, whimsy, and lightness that are perfect for your little fae. These names are our absolute favorite options for fairycore baby names for your little girl.
