Little girl names often have a sweet sound, though they may also have adorable associations like real-life princesses, flowers, or fictional faces that aid in their youthful air. These delicate-sounding darlings are right at home on a little one, whether she’s a girly girl or tomboy. Meet some of them with us to get the know the style better.
Many of today’s most popular options are little girl names. These monikers don’t shy away from cuteness and carry a sweet, young energy that parents adore. Olivia‘s little girl vibes have led to her being the #1 name stateside, as has Emma‘s in years past. Charlotte is another popular find, and with her princess connection, she’ll likely continue to be a go-to choice for today’s little girls. Zoe is also beloved, offering a zippy energy that shines brightly amongst more formal finds. Popular little girl monikers also include Ava, Sophie, and Bella.
Other little girl names fall into classic territory, serving as youthful favorites for generations. Alice is a timeless star, meaning “of nobility.” She evokes images of fancy tea parties and lacy socks with Mary Jane shoes. Madeline is another darling of the past and present. Connected to the adorable Madeline book series, she means “maiden from Magdala.” She has the much-loved Maddie nickname, too. Abigail continues to wow parents, too, and she’s also versatile enough to be worn easily during youth with her Abby nickname. Check out Grace and Rose for more classic little girl monikers.
You can find plenty of unique little girl names, too, if you prefer something special. These youthful finds aren’t in every classroom, helping them stand apart. Winnie is one of the more well-known faces here. A vintage darling with a soft sound, this Welsh wonder means “fair one.” Elodie is a rare Greek option, meaning “marsh flower.” She’s an awesome alternative to fellow little girl name Ellie, who’s trending today.
