1,000+ Unique Baby Girl Names For One-of-a-Kind Baby Girls

Nothing more exciting than talking through all the possible baby names for your soon-to-arrive daughter. Of course you want to land on a name that you and your partner both love, something that’s memorable — a baby name that’s both unique and uniquely her. But it’s not easy staying ahead of the baby-name zeitgeist… the Emma’s and Morgan’s will soon be nipping at your heels. And even if parents agree that they want a baby name that’s unusual, creative, or rare, finding an uncommon name that works on other levels and suits both parents can be a tall order.

The Social Security Administration keeps track of the name of every child born in the United States, so we know which names American parents like to use for their kids — and how those preferences and popularity change over time. Those numbers can help you differentiate between truly unique girl names and those that thousands of other parents also thought were one-of-a-kind ideas. Think you’re the only one considering Harper? Pffft. It’s been one of the most popular baby girl names since 2014. So, to help you out, we’ve sorted through decades’ worth of baby names to present this list of unique baby girl names.
