Morning sickness, food aversions, and mood swings aren’t the only challenges for women in the family way. There’s also the little problem of scouting around for the perfect name for your expected bundle of joy.

Well, actually, it’s a huge problem. And that’s not due to a shortage of baby names. Rather, it’s because there are so many options to select from that you’re likely to be spoilt for choice. It’s even more of a big deal if the expected addition to the family is a girl.

Obviously, you want a name that carries some symbolism. For instance, you could name your baby girl after a famous personality, Biblical character, or mythical creature. You could also name her after certain virtues, cities, or seasons. It all depends on the kind of symbolism the name carries.

Another key consideration when choosing a suitable name for your baby girl is to insist on uniqueness. You wouldn’t want a common name that every other woman can answer to in a crowd. The fancier the name, the more likely that your little princess will love it. In the same breath, avoid overly complex names. The idea is to keep it unique yet simple and memorable.

We’ve trawled the internet for some of the most amazing baby girl names ever, drawn from multiple cultures. Browse through the below collection and hopefully, you’ll find a suitable name for your princess.
