Soft girl names are always a hit, as these gentle-leaning ladies are as charming as they are precious. They also check off multiple boxes on parents’ must-have lists, including sweet meanings and pleasant sounds. Check out some must-see soft sweeties with us.
Gentle sounds are forever in style, with soft girl names dotting the top of the charts. Olivia and Emma have both ruled for several years, followed closely by the princess pick Charlotte and the German gem Amelia. Sophia is another popular choice, meaning “wisdom.” Isabella offers a religious connection with her “devoted to God” meaning,” while Mia keeps it short and sweet with “dear.” Other popular soft names for girls include Evelyn, Luna, and Ella.
Other soft girl names fall into sweet spot territory, meaning they’re not overly popular but not super unique, either. These recognizable faces are easy for more people to pronounce or spell at their mention, too, making them much-loved among parents. Alice is a great member of this category. Meaning “of nobility,” this German classic falls into the vintage trend that continues to dominate the charts, yet she doesn’t appear in every classroom. Aspen is another excellent choice. A nature name with a delicate sound, this tree-themed cutie stands tall from the rest but isn’t too out there. See Kyla, Melinda, and Neriah for more soft-sounding names that are known but not super common.
Finding unique soft girl names is also possible if you prefer monikers that aren’t heard often. The Spanish Mireya is a stunning option, meaning “admired.” There’s also Amali, an African name meaning “hope.” Find a “beautiful friend” in Bellamy, or embrace the pretty “poet” Devin. You might like Shelby, too, an uncommon English name that’s unisex. Check out Farrah, Oona, and Gwen for more soft and unique options.
Great meanings are common among soft names for girls, including Estelle‘s “star” and Nalani‘s “serenity of the skies.” Finley is a master of disguises among them, as her gentle sound doesn’t match her “fair warrior” meaning. Kenna and her close-sounding friend Kindra also share a fierce meaning despite their gentle sounds: “greatest champion.” Sadie‘s “princess” is adorable, as is Tanya‘s “fairy queen.”
Get to know more soft girl names and their meanings on our extended list.
