Favorite Girl Names

I'm a writer and I use nameberry to help me find the perfect names for my characters. This list is all my favorite female names!
  1. Ambrose

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "immortal"
    • Description:

      Gentle but grandiose and beloved by British novelists including Evelyn Waugh and P. G. Wodehouse, Ambrose was a fast rising name in 2022. Entering the UK Top 1000 for the first time and proving popular among Nameberry users, its elegance, softness, and vintage style means it fits in with popular Theodore, Sebastian, and Jeremiah.
  2. Daisy

      Diminutive of Margaret or flower name, English
    • Meaning:

      "day's eye"
    • Description:
