About this list
Crazy nicknames for girls are not often given as first names. A select few, such as Lulu and Ziggy, could stand on the birth certificate, but for the most part, nicknames like Dodo, Pegeen, and Totty are a thing of the past.
Along with Dodo and Totty, some of the craziest nicknames for girls include Babe, Boo, Elf, Leafy, Sugar, Tiny, and Zippy. Wild nicknames for girls are often used for characters in TV shows or movies, such as Muffy, Maeby, Peppa, and Gidget.
Celebrities such as Busy Philipps, Beanie Feldstein, and Fergie have proven that crazy nicknames are wearable — if you have the right personality. Here is our collection of the wackiest nicknames for girls, past and present.
