Not every little girl likes playing dress up in princess costumes. Some little ones prefer being a knight or cowgirl. For these maverick maidens, tomboy girl names are the perfect fit. We’ve lassoed a few of our favorites from our complete list that we’d love to share with you.
Tomboy girl names tend to fall into the unisex territory, as these traditionally male names lack the frillier prefixes and suffixes of girl names like -ella and -enna. Instead, they have suffixes like -ton, meaning “town.” This is seen in Paxton, Sutton, and Peyton. You’ll also notice the -son suffix, meaning “son of.” Well-known wearers of this include Emerson and Ellison. Using these names is also a great way to honor a special male in your daughter’s life, such as a much-loved father or grandfather. Sure, it says “son,” but you can always interpret it as “child of” for your sweet little girl.
Occupational picks are common among tomboy girl names. Harper is the most popular, meaning “harpist.” This musical maven may be linked to a sweet instrument, but she’s not afraid to roll her sleeves up for fun in the sun. Another great choice is Scout, a To Kill a Mockingbird literary classic. A short and sweet pick, she means “to listen.” Water lovers may enjoy Sailor, and outdoorsy families might find Hunter or Sawyer to be top-notch fits.
Many of today’s most popular girl names fall into tomboy territory. Riley is one you likely know, along with her variants Rylee and Ryleigh (among many others.) Meaning “rye clearing,” this Irish charmer has a spring in her step that you can’t help but like. Her popularity spiked in the mid-2010s, but she remains a top choice today. Another well-loved tomboy pick is Avery. Meaning “elf ruler,” she’s a sassy little one who seems right at home on a T-ball team or hiking trail. Other popular tomboy names for girls include Madison, Skylar, and Addison.
There are plenty of rare options too if they’re more in line with your style. Brenley is one that matches many of today’s top trends without being common. She feels like a sister to many of today’s most popular picks yet this English sweetie isn’t even in the Top 1000! Scotty is another solid choice. Meaning “from Scotland,” she’s a youthful moniker with a zest for adventure. Other uncommon picks include Kaylor and Seren.
Read the rest of our list for more terrific tomboy girl names.
