Sweet names for girls are always in style. Filled to the brim with cuteness, these picks perfectly suit a little one’s loving, gentle spirit and come in all shapes and sizes. Let’s run through a few of our favorite sweet names for girls together.
First up on our sweet name list for girls are obvious picks like Sugar and Honey. While these are adorable, many parents prefer them as nicknames. That said, they make great middle names if you’re looking for something unexpected. The vintage cutie Candy is an excellent choice for built-in sweetness, and you can use her longer form, Candace if you’d like a formal option. Some parents turn to nature for sweet-inspired girl names, with Cherry and Clementine packing plenty of sugary goodness.
Other sweet names for girls are sweet or cutesy in sound, like Daisy, Poppy, or Maisie. These names tend to have the in-demand -ee/-eigh/-ie/-ey ending and can be found all over the charts, including super-popular names like Lily, Zoey, and Riley and rarer finds like Ansley and Whitley. You can also opt for those with a soft -a ending, like Pippa, Luna, or Bella. If you’d like something rarer, see Raya, Zola, and Naya.
Another option is to explore names that mean sweet for girls like Delcina or Mandisa. There’s also Melinda, a Latin sweetheart with retro vibes and loads of nickname options. Sweet-sounding meanings are ripe for picking, too, like Pamela’s “honey,” Tippi’s “sweetheart,” and Annika’s “sweet-faced.”
Short and sweet names for girls are rising in popularity, with names like Ella, Mia, and Ava gracing the top of the charts. Our standout choice for a name that’s well-known yet not super common is Mae, though her rhyming friend Kay is just as gorgeous. Other fabulous finds are Liv, Ari, and Nia.
Browse our list of sweet names for girls. You never know what beauties you’ll find.
