First of all, it’s important to remember there’s no right or wrong when it comes to naming your baby girl. Ultimately, you should choose a baby girl name that resonates with your parenting instincts, personal beliefs and overall sense of family identity. Of course, it might also be nice to select a first name that coordinates well with your baby’s last name, too.

Beyond those considerations, you can also factor in potential middle names – or multiple middle names! – in order to honor a loved one, pass down your maiden name, include your second choice name, or just help the rest of the name roll off the tongue more smoothly. We also recommend: sounding out how your potential baby girl name syllables flow together, giving some thought as to how hard the name is to pronounce, and looking to see what the initials spell out, if anything. Some modern parents are opting to shy away from specific baby girl names altogether, preferring to choose gender-neutral names for their little ones.
