Most parents want their baby’s name to be special and to have a positive meaning. Quiet people tend to observe and decide, rather than jumping to conclusions and this is what makes them stand out from the crowds.
This can only be a positive trait to have so why not give your child a name that will set them on the right path from the beginning. We have compiled a list of some beautiful, unique, and unusual names for baby girls that mean shy, timid, quiet, or cute.
