Fancy girl names are names that feel posh, aristocratic, elaborate, elegant — unique in an upscale way. Many fancy girl names, such as Alexandria and Calliope, are a whole lotta name. Too much name? That's for you to decide.

If you want your daughter’s name to be extra-fancy, try classy girl names with five or more syllables, such as Apollonia, Cassiopeia, Illuminata, or Theophania.
