Musical, mighty, and fiercely fashionable, emo girl names are some of our favorites. Linked to the early 2000s style of dark hair, side bangs, and emotion-packed music, these monikers are as nostalgic as they are beautiful. Let’s reconnect with some of these sweethearts and see what we can find.

Many emo girl names evoke the genre’s vibe at their mentioning. Winter and Autumn come to mind, as these seasonal sweethearts are a touch moodier than their sunny counterparts. This is true of their friends Snow and Rain, too. There’s also Raven, a bird beauty with connections to everything from emo favorite Edgar Allan Poe to ominous omens. Ember is another great option that nails the emo aesthetic. Some monikers offer their emo connections via meaning, such as Brenna. Meaning “little drop of water” or “raven-haired,” she’s a real stunner. Luna is another, courtesy of her “moon” meaning.

Many emo girl names appear in songs, making them ultra-cool picks for your kiddo. For instance, Helena famously starred in a My Chemical Romance ballad of the same name. Meaning “sun ray” or “shining light,” she’s a joyous Greek girl. Maria was the star of All Time Low’s “Dear Maria, Count Me In,” while We The Kings used the literary darling Juliet in “Check Yes, Juliet.” Aurelia was used by AFI in a 2017 single. This Latin beauty means “the golden one” and is an awesome alternative to the popular Amelia. See Veronica, Belle, and Delilah for more emo names for girls linked to songs.

Emo girl names can come from famous faces linked to the style, like Billie. Connected to musician Billie Joe Armstrong, she’s a unisex sweetheart. She also has jazz connections, courtesy of Billie Holiday. Hayley is another emo celebrity pick, worn by Paramore singer Hayley Williams. Tegan and Sara are linked with a certain pair of singing sisters, while Carah will forever be linked to Shiny Toy Guns singer Carah Faye Charnow. We can’t forever Avril, either, as in the tie-wearing wonder girl Avril Lavigne. Others include Poe, Audrey, and Alesana.
