Girl Name Choices for Baby Girls

Some baby names, especially when you look at celebrity baby names, can range from sweet and cute to weird. Baby names always change, depending on what’s new, trendy, and just popular. The names Elizabeth and Judy were common at some point in time, but now, they are not as popular. At some point, Drew, Alison, and Beth were also popular. However, the popular choices of names vary by geography, and while they may still be popular in some areas, they might not be as popular in other areas. Parents have different ways on how to come up their child’s name.

For some, they would name their daughter Amidala (as Star Wars fans), May (if the child was born on the month of May or if a special occasion such as the proposal or wedding was held in May), or some would name their child Liberty (if the child was born on July 4th, or for reasons similar to the previous one).

Others would name their daughter after their grandmother, mother, or a special relative that played a significant role in their lives. It serves as a show or respect or honor to that person in their life.

Other people will combine the names of the parents, or adopt the name itself and just put Jr., II, III, and so on. Combining names may seem like a good idea, but check first if the name will come off as cute or just plain weird.

And for the rest, name directories work as they also give the translation or the meaning of their chosen name for their child. Some websites even offer trends and ranks which names are more popular, per decade or per geographical location.

For baby girls, here are you top name choices: The name Madison means good daughter; the name Abigail, means father’s joy; Hannah means gracious; Samantha means listener, and finally, Sophia, originating as a Greek name, means wisdom. Other more popular names include Emma, Michelle, Olivia, and Isabella.

Finally, a lot of parents just go with a name that they like. Many people at certain points in their lives have thought about what they might want to name their children one day. And when the day finally comes, little thought is required in picking that perfect name.

Some websites offer listing per country, so you might want to check them out too if you do not want to go for Western names. When you have finalized your baby girl’s name, what’s next is you have to prepare for your due date, and the baptism coming in a few months. With the lovely name, you will want to personalize everything, from the invitations to the baptism favors, to include your girl’s sweet little name.
