Unique middle names for girls provide a sprinkle of surprise to your name combo, making it that much more special and sweet. They’re also a fun talking point for your daughter later on, as she has a rare hidden moniker when others have mostly common picks. Run through some highlights of these names with us.
If you like today’s most common middle names but not their popularity, you can play off of them to nab the same style or feel with a unique twist. For example, in place of Elizabeth, you might try out Elodie, Elspeth, or Annabeth. In place of Rose, see Rue, Roux, or Ren. Rhodes is another clever pick, as she means “where roses grow.” In place of Ann, try Brynn or Ash. For Grace, there are Gray, Greer, and Gwen. We can’t forget rare twists on the ultra-common Marie, either. Millie, Marine, and Nari fit the bill nicely.
Unique girl middle names come in all shapes and sizes. Long names are great for breaking up the choppy flow between a short first and last moniker. One of our favorites is Carmella, a melodic pick with Hebrew roots meaning “the song of joy.” Beatrix is a zesty option meaning “she who makes others happy,” while Phillippa has a formal air to her. See Gisela, Amorette, and Sapphira for more long unique middle names for girls.
Two-syllable options are also plentiful. Keaton is a unisex sweetheart who isn’t too common today, much like Arden. There are vintage sweethearts like Judith and Etta, and those who feel modern such as Sora and Keva. Match the petite Mia‘s styling with Tia or Zia, or opt for something unlike anything popular with Zelda. Other two-syllable unique picks include Nessa, Hera, and Paola.
Maybe a one-syllable star is more your speed. These are ideal for pairing with longer first or last names. The sky is truly the limit here, but one we adore is Gem. She’s not only associated with something beautiful, but she sounds great alongside many monikers. You could go the natural route with Bay or Lark, or tap into literary ties with the adorable Poe.
Unique middle names for girls are some of our favorites. See the rest on our complete list.
