I struggled to pick out a name for my new baby girl. I wanted to find something simple, but still unique. It took quite a long time (right up til the day before she was born). So you don’t have the struggle I did, we are here to help! We have pulled together a list of 150 one syllable girl names to help make your decision easier.
You may be wondering, why one-syllable names? Sometimes you get lost in the names search, my friend was searching up every name list from the best Disney names, to names by month. It’s paralysis by analysis.
I personally love that many of the one syllable girl names have a soft and sweet sound to them. Another thing I love about a short first name is that it gives you many options when it comes to the middle name.
You can find our list of one syllable middle names for girls + more here! Many people believe that shorter first names emanate strength, as they seem decisive. They also have less of a chance of being shortened into a nickname, which many parents appreciate.
