Unique But Short Baby Girl Names

Despite Nameberry being a baby name site, I am not pregnant nor expecting a child. I have always loved words and names, and especially their history and meaning, so for me, this website is more of a way to relax and find out new and interesting things. Maybe someday I might have a child, and if it's a girl, her name will most likely be one of the ones included on this list. To me, it's important the name is unique and different with a good meaning, but still easy to spell, short, and not difficult for a child to wear.
  1. Audrey
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "noble strength"
    • Description:

      Audrey is one of the girls' names that have been rising due to their connection to Old Hollywood glamour—in this case the eternally chic and radiant Audrey Hepburn. Audrey has another very different appeal as one of the elite group of girl names that mean strong, brave, or powerful.
  2. Natasha
    • Origin:

      Russian diminutive of Natalya
    • Meaning:

      "birthday of the Lord"
    • Description:

      Natasha, an appealing, still unusual name, entered the American mainstream post-Cold War but seems to have peaked in the eighties, replaced by the more straightforward Natalie. As is common for Natashas the world over, the Obamas shorten their Natasha's name to Sasha.
  3. Stella
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "star"
    • Description:

      Stella is a name with star quality and sparkle, that manages to sound both ethereal and earthy. Celestial but not otherworldly, it lands somewhere between the popular Ella and bold Seraphina.
