6 Ideas for Choosing a Name for Your Baby Girl

There are many factors you might consider when choosing a name for your baby girl. Whether you’d like to select a common, popular name or something rarer, there are plenty of routes you can take to get you to the perfect name! Here are ways to go about making this important decision:

1. Search for a Girls’ Name That’s Different

Wondering what is a unique name for a girl? There are plenty to choose from right here. Go ahead and pick a unique name for your baby girl—something that’s cool, preppy, or edgy, but still beautiful in its own way—by selecting a name that isn’t at the top of the most popular list.

2. Honor a Female Relative by Choosing a Beautiful Girls’ Name from the Family Tree

Choose a name in the family—it could be your mother’s name, grandmother’s name, aunt’s name, etc.

3. Be Inspired by Your Beautiful Surroundings

Look for a beautiful girl name that’s inspired by nature, such as a flower name, perfect for a little girl.

4. Go for a Tried-and-True Traditional Girls’ Name

If you’re old-school, choose an old-fashioned girls’ name or a name that’s found in the Bible.

5. Pick a Girls’ Name That’s Cute, Cool, and Modern

If you consider yourself a trendy parent, go with a unisex name, especially if you’ve decided to let your baby’s gender be a surprise. There are plenty of cute and cool girl name options that are a great fit for modern times.

6. Seek Input From Your Family and Friends

If you want to leave it up to popular opinion, you could host a baby-naming party where friends and family come up with sweet suggestions for your baby girl’s name.
