Choosing Baby Girl Names

Choosing a name for your baby is a big decision. After all, it’s something that you’re going to be saying a lot, so you need to like it.


But names are very personal, and we often make associations with them – positively or negatively – based on other people we’ve met who have the same name. Some people like to name their child after a favourite relative or famous person.


If you’re looking for a more unusual name for your baby girl, ‘old lady chic’ – as it’s being called – might be the way to go. You’ll find a number of old-fashioned names making it onto the latest list of most popular baby names in the UK.


While we might think of our parents’ names as being dowdy and unfashionable, skip back another generation to your grandparents and you might feel differently.


Just like clothing fashion, naming trends come and go. Some names date back to the bible but are just as popular now as they were back then. Who knows, your parents’ names might be in fashion when your children come to name their baby?!


Celebrities and TV shows also have a big part to play in the popular names of the moment. For instance, many people are currently taking inspiration from the royal family – with names like Lilibet, Diana, Beatrice, Zara and, of course, Elizabeth – following the popularity of hit Netflix show, The Crown.


Whether you plan to name your daughter after an older relative who has a vintage name, or you’re inspired by the celebrity world or a favourite TV show, take a look at 101 of our favourite old-fashioned names for girls. We’ve even put them in alphabetical order for you!
