Classy girl names are always in demand, but what makes a name classy? Is it association? Air? Styling? A little of all three? We think any name (and little lady) is classy in its own way, even if your daughter loves tadpoles more than tea parties. That said, we’ve still gathered girl names most often labeled as classy to give you a taste of the style. Let’s check out the highlights.
Our first group of classy girl names contains those connected to classy figures, whether real or fictional. Audrey is one we can’t miss, as this sweetheart is connected to movie star Audrey Hepburn. Meaning “noble strength,” she’s also polished in meaning. Another option is Jacqueline, linked to former First Lady Jacqueline “Jackie” Kennedy. She’s a French feminine form of James, meaning “supplanter.” There are also a wealth of royal-connected options, including Victoria, Elizabeth, and Diana.
Classy girl names tend to feel perfectly polished and poised for afternoon tea, which is something some parents adore. Constance and Prudence are excellent examples of the style. Harriet is another top-notch choice. Meaning “mistress of the home,” she’s a form of Henry hailing from Germany. You might like Cynthia, too, if this is your style. This Greek glory means “the maiden from Mount Cynthus.”
Fear not if you’re worried about these picks being too stuffy, as classy girl names can also be softened with nicknames. Dorothy on her own is matronly and mature, but she can also appear as Dora, Dottie, and Dot. Katherine can also stand tall on her own or shorten to Kat, Kit, Kate, and more. Then there’s everyone’s sweetheart, Samantha. She’s ultra-feminine on her own, but you can make her Sam or Sammi for a more tomboyish style.
Many of today’s most popular names fall into the classy category, including the top beauty, Olivia, and former crown wearer, Sophia. Amelia is also making a splash in the top 10 with her friend Evelyn. Just outside the group sits Eleanor, an upper-class cutie once deemed “too grandma” for use. Funny, huh? Now she’s one of today’s top names!
