Do you love winding down at the end of a long day with video games? Want to highlight that passion for gaming in your daughter’s moniker? Look no further than gamer girl names. These gaming greats are surprisingly stunning, with plenty of amazing contenders from around the world awaiting discovery. From Japanese gems to Scandinavia’s sweethearts, you have a gold mine of international treasures to choose from. Let’s get to know some.
The most obvious gamer girl names are those that appear in a video game’s title. Zelda is one of the most well-known. Linked to The Legend of Zelda series, this princess means “happiness.” She’s from Yiddish roots and is not too common today, but she is undeniably cool. Rayne is the title character of BloodRayne. While the spelling of Rain is more common, she’s still usable. We especially love her as a unique middle name, as she pairs well with other monikers. You might like her word-name buddy Halo, too, as in the Halo series of video games.
Other gamer girl names connect with video game characters, like Lara. Lara Croft is the tough lead from Tomb Raider who’s known to confront danger without batting an eyelash. Talk about one cool association! Yuna is another top-notch character choice, hailing from Final Fantasy. Meaning “kindness,” she’s of Japanese origin. She’s also a great alternative to the mega-popular Luna. For a splash of sweetness, see Peach, as in Mario‘s darling damsel, Princess Peach. Like something darker? Check out Destiny‘s Eris. Other character-based options include Rosalina, Aerith, and Eva.
If you prefer gamer girl names that aren’t as obvious, check out those who have connections outside of video games, too. Mercy is a good option. While she appears in Overwatch, she’s also a virtuous choice who fits in with Hope, Grace, and Amity. In fact, most people wouldn’t immediately think of the video game at her mentioning. This is also true for Dragon Age’s Morrigan. She’s more associated with mythology than the game. See Navi, Moira, and Helena for more subtle gamer names for girls.
