Need a name with some oomph for your little girl? Check out masculine girl names. This may seem like a modern trend, but the style dates way back to before we even started recording the most popular baby names. If we time-travel to the U.S. charts in 1880, you’ll find many “male” monikers were popular for girls, like Jessie, Willie, and Ollie. Let’s meet more of these strong finds.
Today’s charts are full of popular masculine girl names. Top 10 cuties Evelyn and Harper were once predominantly male names, for example. Evelyn has leaned almost entirely female in recent years, however, while Harper is still occasionally used on boys. You likely know the rhyming friends Addison and Madison too. Both have the “-son” suffix which means “son of.” A neat trick for finding rare masculine girl names is to search for names with this suffix at the end. This uncovers gems like Larsson and Jameson. Other popular masculine names for girls include Avery, Peyton, and Riley.
If you’d prefer something known but not overly popular, there are still plenty of options. One of our favorites is Rory. She has ties to television courtesy of the Gilmore Girls and a similar sound to more popular picks like Remi and Reese. Another standout is Perry. She’s a double-barrel shot of trends, nailing the surname style and masculine movement in one swing. She also has the naturally cute meaning of “pear tree.” See Harlyn, Gentry, and Beckett for more unique masculine girl names.
Masculine girl names can also be variants of male names instead of traditionally male names. This would include Georgia or Georgette in place of George. These are a great way to honor a special man in your life without using his actual name. Another example would be using Willa or Billie instead of William. One of today’s most popular names actually fits this style: Charlotte. A French name, she’s a feminine form of Charles. Check out Josephine, Gabriella, and Julia for more.
