Looking for a great name ideas for your baby girl? Here are the top 25 girl’s names along with their origins and meanings, so you can choose a wonderful name for your newborn daughter.

It sounds simple, but choosing your baby’s name is tough. My husband and I spent months trying to settle on the best name for our daughter (our first-born). In the end, I think we chose well and she loves her name and it feels ‘right’.

To help you with the process of choosing a name, we’ve put together this list the 25 most popular baby girl names. For every name, we’ve included its origin and its meaning (though do note that most names have several different meanings and some also have different origins – these are our take on both!).
