With so many to choose from, it’s natural to seek only the best girl names for your baby. While the best girl names are subjective, we’ve gathered up names that speak to us in one way or another to hopefully inspire your name journey. Each name has its own story and wonderful associations, so let’s check out the best baby girl names to learn theirs.
When it comes to the best girl names, ones with great meanings are at the top of our list. We adore a good meaning because it carries with your little one for life. Meanings are so important to us that they’ve inspired our daughters’ names. Paloma’s meaning of “dove” fits her peaceful nature perfectly, and the virtue name Faith’s meaning has always been dear to us. Other names with great meanings are Valentina, meaning “strong and healthy,” and Ariel, meaning “lion of God.” For the best baby girl names, great meanings are always winners in our book.
In addition to great meanings, the best girl names also have great associations. Holly and Noel are two names we love for their association with Christmas. Joy and Sunny also win us over with their good vibes since nothing is better than a name that automatically makes you feel happy, right? And since we’re lovers of all things natural, you shouldn’t be surprised to see many nature girl names on our best girl names list either. Willow wins us over with her casual, relaxed feel, and Violet transports us to a field of flowers which is never a bad thing.
We’ve included many timeless classics on our list of the best baby girl names like Lydia and Clara, as well as newer, modern finds like Riley and Everly. Each style has its own perks, and we can’t get enough of them! We’ve also included precious little girl names that are right at home around the tea party table like Charlotte, Olivia, and Alice.
While we love our list of the best girl names, yours may vary, and that’s perfectly okay. What are some picks you think are worthy of joining the list?
