43 Stunning names for your baby girl

Picking a name for your baby girl can be a big responsibility! She will have it the rest of her life and it will be part of the first impression she makes on people. I mean no pressure right?

If you decide to share your name be ready for the haters. There will always be someone who thinks it’s too weird, too popular, or knew someone with that name who was a terrible person so proceed with caution when sharing.

Gorgeous Baby Girl names from pop culture

Movies, books, and TV can inspire a whole generation of kids names.

If you choose a name from pop culture or one that is new modern and unique you may want to choose a more classic middle name, that way your daughter can go by that if she hates her pop culture inspired name.

My name is a classic, Shari, but the spelling was pop culture inspired, from Shari Lewis on the Lampchops show 🙂

Arya: Persian origin meaning noble or faithful. Generally a male name in Persia it was made popular by the female character in Game of Thrones.
