Good girl names – they’re sweet-spot picks that hit the mark every time. Whether it’s their sound that wins you over or their lovely meaning, good girl names are sure to please. From top ten trendsetters to less popular picks, good baby girl names come in all shapes and sizes.
What makes a good girl name? A lot of parents immediately think of sound, which is why melodic picks are always in demand like Amelia and Olivia. These sing-song names roll easily off the tongue, making them perfect for calling your little ballerina from the foyer for dance class. Likewise, Isabella and Emma are gentle names with feminine flair, natural picks for a young girl to grow with. Certain sounds are more popular than others, with -lia and -ella suffixes currently dominating on the charts.
Good girl names also tend to have beautiful meanings behind them. This is something easy to miss but might speak to you if you’re stuck between names. Two of our standouts in this arena are Aneesa meaning “friendly” and Naomi meaning “pleasantness.” If you’re not afraid of popularity, check out Sophia, whose meaning “wisdom” is more than enviable. For something cutesy, we highly recommend Nina, a Spanish pick meaning “little girl” that is simply precious.
Good girl names are those with lovely associations as well. Teresa is strongly tied to the beloved nun, while Alice is forever linked to the literary darling in Wonderland. If you’re a fan of the stars, we can’t sing enough praises about Luna, a celestial superstar that’s been winning over hearts.
Whether you’re looking for jovial Japanese monikers or seeking out sweet Scandinavian picks, we’ve scoured the globe for good girl names galore. There’s something for every style. Good is just a label, after all. What are some of your favorites?
