About Legacy

Bold parents who wish to make a statement choose this unconventional name that declares intention and purpose from the very beginning. The name carries inherent weight and significance, suggesting that this child will make her mark upon the world. It challenges traditional naming conventions while maintaining dignity and seriousness, avoiding the frivolous quality of some modern inventions. The name's English word status makes it immediately understandable while its rarity as a given name ensures distinctiveness. It pairs particularly well with traditional middle names that provide balance, or with culturally significant family names that deepen its meaning. This choice requires confidence from parents, as it will inevitably prompt conversations and comments. However, for families who view their daughter's birth as the beginning of something significant, who want to emphasize continuity and impact, this name delivers that message with unmistakable clarity.
