It's going to stick, whether you like it or not—and whether you select a classic family name or out-of-the-box moniker. We've put together a lengthy list of some of the most popular girl names, as well as unique names for your little chick. A name can say a lot about someone, and every baby name means something different. Check out our list of 280 beautiful baby girl names, from A to Z, for inspiration for your future brood. 01 of 29 Tips for Naming Your Baby Girl FamVeld/Getty Images Choosing a name can be a high-pressure endeavor, especially when it seems like family members, co-workers, friends, and every random person you meet on the street has an opinion. Focus on what is most meaningful to you. Maybe it's honoring an ancestor or cultural tradition. Or perhaps it all comes down to the name's meaning—something pretty like Delilah means "delicate woman," while a plucky name like Zelda means "fighting in darkness." Or, choose a moniker that is meaningful to you alone, like the city where you met your significant other. Before settling on a name, consider how popular the name is and how those first initials would look in a monogram. And finally, listen to your instincts, no matter what that chorus of voices around you is saying. Ultimately, a good name will feel right for your family. Without further ado, here are some of the most popular names for each letter of the alphabet. 02 of 29 "A" Girl Names JGI/Jamie Grill/Getty Images AbigailAdelineAddisonAlexaAliceAllisonAmeliaAnnaAnnieArianaAudreyAutumnAvaAvery 03 of 29 "B" Girl Names PeopleImages/Getty Images BaileyBanksBarbaraBeatriceBeeBellaBetsyBirdieBizzyBlairBonnieBridgetBrielleBrittanyBrooklyn 04 of 29 "C" Girl Names Daniela Solomon/Getty Images CameronCamilaCarolineCassandraCeliaCharlotteChloeClaireClaraClementineColleenCoraConstanceCourtneyCricket 05 of 29 "D" Girl Names monkeybusinessimages/Getty Images DaisyDakotahDanicaDanielleDaphneDarlaDawnDeborahDelilahDeliaDemiDianaDorothyDylan 06 of 29 "E" Girl Names olesiabilkei/Getty Images EdieEffieEleanorElianaEliseElizaElizabethEllaEllieElloitEloiseEmiliaEmilyEmeryEmmaEricaEstherEvaEvelynEverlee 07 of 29 "F" Girl Names romrodinka/Getty Images FaithFarahFayeFelicityFinleyFionaFlorenceFloFrancesFrankie 08 of 29 "G" Girl Names monkeybusinessimages/Getty Images GabrielleGenevieveGeorgiaGemmaGiannaGillianGiselleGraceGradyGreerGretchenGrey 09 of 29 "H" Girl Names Westend61/Getty Images HadleeHaleyHannahHarlowHarperHarriettHattieHazelHeidiHelenHeatherHolly 10 of 29 "I" Girl Names Nikola Stojadinovic/Getty Images ImogeneIngridIrisIraIsabellaIslaIvankaIvoryIvyIzzie 11 of 29 "J" Girl Names Jessica Peterson/Getty Images JaneJanetJillJemmaJennyJessicaJodieJolieJosieJosephineJordynJudyJuliaJulietJune 12 of 29 "K" Girl Names Fran Polito/Getty Images KatherineKathleenKatieKaseyKayleeKearneyKellyKennedyKendallKimberlyKinsleyKitKourtneyKristenKylie 13 of 29 "L" Girl Names Crezalyn Nerona Uratsu/Getty Images LaceyLaylaLaurelLaurenLeahLibbyLilaLiliaLilyLindseyLolaLoreleiLottieLouiseLucilleLucyLunaLydia 14 of 29 "M" Girl Names Valter Carvalho/EyeEm/Getty Images MabelMacieMadelineMadisonMaeMaiaMamieMargotMarieMarissaMayaMeredithMiaMillieMolly 15 of 29 "N" Girl Names Westend61/Getty Images NadineNancyNaomiNatalieNiaNicoleNinaNellieNoraNorma 16 of 29 "O" Girl Names monkeybusinessimages/Getty Images OctaviaOliviaOliveOpheliaOren 17 of 29 "P" Girl Names Steve Debenport/Getty Images PaisleyPatriciaPaulinePenelopePepperPeytonPhoebePiperPollyPoppy 18 of 29 "Q" Girl Names Westend61/Getty Images Quinn 19 of 29 "R" Girl Names Laura Natividad/Getty Images RachelRaynaRileyRebeccaReganReeseRobynRoryRosalieRoseRowanRubyRuthRuthieRyann 20 of 29 "S" Girl Names Westend61/Getty Images SadieSailorSamanthaSarahSavannahSawyerScarlettShelbySkylarSloaneSophiaSofiaStellaStephanieStevieSummerSusanSydney 21 of 29 Beautiful Baby Girl Names—from A to Z—for 2019 22 of 29 "T" Girl Names Jessica Peterson/Getty Images TabithaTarynTatumTaylorTinaTinleyTheaTeaganTessaTraceyTristanTiffanyTinsleyTyra 23 of 29 "U" Girl Names Image Source/Getty Images UmaUrsula 24 of 29 "V" Girl Names Westend61/Getty Images ValarieVanessaVeraVeronicaVictoriaViennaVioletViolaVirginiaVivien 25 of 29 "W" Girl Names PeopleImages/Getty Images WandaWaverleyWillaWillowWilmaWinnieWhitneyWren 26 of 29 "X" Girl Names Westend61/Getty Images Xenia 27 of 29 "Y" Girl Names Laoshi/Getty Images YaelYvette 28 of 29 "Z" Girl Names kumacore/Getty Images ZaraZeldaZoey 29 of 29 Other Baby Name Ideas Getty Images Gender neutral baby names Historical baby names Timeless Southern names Names inspired by Southern cities Was this page helpful?
