If you’re looking for a stylish baby girl name, you’ve come to the right place. Some of these names have made the most popular baby names list, but not all of them.
I think we all want to find that middle ground between a name that’s overused and a name that’s strange. We hope you enjoy this list!

Ada: (German) Ada’s a great choice for many families. It’s a great trendy baby name alternative to Ava, and it’s also considered a Biblical name (if you’re looking for that). It means noble and kind, which is something we want all of our girls to live up to.
Adelaide: (German) Adelaide means “nobility” and has French origins – and neither of these things surprises us. It’s definitely an “older” sounding name, but many of these are making a true comeback and is in the top 500 list of names.
Adina: (Hebrew) Adina is a super fun name that also means delicate which is very true when it comes to your newborn bundle of joy.
Adley: (Hebrew) Adley is a stylish baby girl name that is not currently very popular, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that change in the coming years. It translates to “judicious.”
Aida:(Italian) Meaning happy, this name is short, sweet, and adorable. It’s a really cool first name or even middle name choice, too.
Ainsley: (Scottish) Ainsley is of Scottish descent, and comes from a surname that means “wood”, “clearing”, “meadow”. This is one of my favorite baby names (although I’ll admit that’s probably because I’m partial to A names!)

Alice: (French) Some places list Alice as meaning noble, whereas other places list it as meaning truthful. It has been listed in the top 100 baby names, but it seems to be moving further away from that #1 spot.
Amberly: (Arabic) Amberly is a beautiful spin-off of the name “Amber”. It’s a great option if you want your little one to have a pretty nickname to match. It’s either considered to be of Arabic or English descent.
Angelique: (French) This beautiful baby girl’s name means “angel” and is one of the most true statements, ever.
Annalee: (English) Annalee is a stylish baby girl name that translates to “grace, pasture”. Its origin is English and is beautifully feminine. Make sure you like the nickname associated with it, as I imagine she’ll be called a shortened version of this often.
Ariana: (Italian) This name has grown in popularity because of the pop singer Ariana Grande, and has risen into the top 100 baby names (although don’t worry – it’s not super high on the list. The name means Holy.
Arya: (Hebrew) Arya is a favorite of any GOT fan, and it’s one of the only Game of Thrones baby names that I would personally name a baby. This name means “noble”, and it wasn’t in the top 100 names as of 2018 (although I wouldn’t be surprised if this name has become more popular).
Audrey: (English) Audrey is a classic name that’s making a comeback. It translates to “golden”, and I’m a little partial to it since it’s my name!
Auralee: (German) Auralee is a beautiful baby girl name that has a ton of options in regard to nicknames. Personally, I think this is a beautiful name, and it’s definitely uncommon (for now).
Auri: (Finnish) Auri is a unique name and doesn’t even make it in the top 1000 baby names. I know a young girl who goes by Auri, and I think it’s the cutest baby girl name. It’s a derivative of the English name Aura which means “wind” (which any Name of the Wind fans know is quite exciting!)
Aurora: (Latin) This classically beautiful name has exploded in popularity over the last few years. The word Aurora is Latin for “dawn” and is most commonly known by the cute Disney movie associated with it.
Austyn: (Latin) The name Austyn is listed primarily as a boy name but has been used for girls more and more frequently. This specific spelling of Austyn makes it a bit more feminine. The name means “majestic” in French.

Celine: (French) This fun name means “heaven” and is also the first name of the famous singer, Celine Dion.

TIPS ON SPELLING YOUR BABY’S STYLISH NAME
It’s tempting to choose a unique baby name spelling – especially if you end up going with a more popular baby name.
Personally, I think stylish baby names sound more appealing than some of the more “rare” baby names, and I’m sure that’s true for many parents. Because of this, the logical thing to do would be to choose a unique spelling (because we ALL want our kids to be unique!)

Although this is totally okay to a point – be careful about how crazy you get with it. It is often joked about in my state, as parents seem to choose spellings that are almost unrelated to the name they are supposed to convey.
Regardless, I think you’re okay if you want to choose to spell a name differently – for example “Harleigh” instead of “Harley”. As long as you make sure that the spelling easily conveys the name, you’re probably safe to use it.
WRAPPING UP STYLISH BABY GIRL NAMES
Regardless of what you decide, remember that as long as you don’t name them something like Hamburger or Bulldog, it’s probably going to be okay. Watch my video above if you’re looking for more tips on choosing your little one’s name.
