Bad girl names pack a punch. Charismatic and cool, these monikers have energy that leans toward the wild side in any situation. Whether you’re naming a character or tough-as-nails daughter, we’ve rounded up our favorites. Let’s run through a few standouts together.
Fictional characters are a great place to find inspiration for bad girl names. Arya from Game of Thrones is a modern favorite. Worn by a little one who always overcomes adversity, Arya is a badass name with excellent associations. Similarly, there’s Ciri from the Witcher series. Like Arya, Ciri is a television powerhouse, raising all sorts of hell despite her small size. See Gemma for a more mature association, as in the ill-tempered matriarch of Sons of Anarchy.
Real people also inspire bad girl names, like rocker Joan Jett. Joan reads vintage, wowing lovers of old-school names, while Jett is decidedly modern and edgy. You could try out Eve, too, as in the rapper, or Jolie, as in actress Angelina Jolie. If you turn to the halls of history, there’s an unlikely bad girl behind Alice. Famously worn by the daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, Alice was known for her rebellious side.
Meanings are another way to find good names for bad girls. Ursa’s meaning “little she-bear” is one of our all-time favorites here. Strong yet approachable, we adore her ultra-rare U start and unique sound. Safara’s “fire” is also epic. For water lovers, there’s Murphy, meaning “descendant of the sea warrior.”
Some bad girl names fit the bill because of their sound, like Maeve, a rare Irish moniker meaning “intoxicating.” Close to her in sound is the sharply styled Neve. Meaning “snow,” Neve is a natural among modern names. So are her friends Ari and Naia. One of our favorite cool bad girl names is Ryder. While she’s far more common for boys, Ryder makes an epic choice for a badass baby girl or character. We love her tomboy style and modern sound.
Check out our list of bad girl names and see what tough cookies rock your name list.
