I do hope the list of unique girl names above have given you some inspiration and ideas on what to name your baby.

You can get creative in your naming process. An easy way to do this is to put your own spin on any name to give a unique aesthetic. E.g adding suffixes like -Lynn or using ‘K’ instead of ‘C’.

Most importantly, don’t get overwhelmed and stressed during your baby’s naming process. I trust you to find the perfect name for your daughter in the end.

Congratulations on your baby!

  1. Ever heard of “Sapphine”? It’s a derivative of “Sapphire”, meaning Beautiful, or Precious Gem.
    . . . My daughter was born C Section and we hadn’t chosen a middle name for her. I sent my husband home to find names that meant things like beautiful or perfect. One of the names he came back to the hospital with was “Sapphire.” But I misread the R for an N and knew that was her middle name: Sapphine. And it’s exactly perfect for her. 🫶🏻
