Feminine Girl Names

If you like decidedly feminine girl names, consider this collection of names with (usually) soft sounds, (often) vowel endings, and (always) a decidedly sweet, dainty image. We often think of feminine girl names are being elaborate, romantic choices such as Anastasia and Valentina, but streamlined choices such as Elle and Lyra also qualify.

Along with Valentina and Elle, other feminine girl names in the US Top 500 include Alessandra, Bianca, Charlotte, Lucia, Melody, Ruby, Victoria, and Willow. Among the rare beauties without official rankings are Amabel, Dulcie, Eliora, and Primrose.

Of course, girl names can also be strong, powerful, wise, and all these other positive qualities that can apply to both genders, but these girl names have an overarching feminine image. Browse our favorite feminine girl names below.
