So you are looking for a beautiful, elegant girl name? One that exudes class, grace and sophistication?
Well you’ve come to the right place, because we have a list of 95 elegant girls’ names to help inspire you.
Before we jump in, it’s worth stressing that the level of elegance or sophistication that a name exudes is a subjective subject.
There are no doubt many names that other people find elegant that you don’t think scream sophistication and vice versa.
Having said that, names that are considered to be elegant (or indeed posh) tend to be classic rather than modern or edgy, and are typically on the longer side with often a melodic ring to them.
That’s not always the case however, so in the list below you’ll find a range of classic and contemporary names to choose from.
Now without further ado, here are 95 gorgeous names to help inspire you.

Tips For Choosing An Elegant Name For Your Daughter
- The naming process naturally takes time, so don’t feel bad or worried if it’s taking longer than you expected.
- Some names are undoubtedly harder to pronounce than others. So think about whether a young child will be able to easily pronounce any of the names you are considering, or if there’s a good nickname or shorter version that your child may be known by. For example, although Phillipa may be hard to say, the abbreviated version “Pippa” is much easier for a young child to pronounce.
- Tied to the point above, consider what impact a nickname may have if any. You might love the name Victoria, but arguably “Vicky” or “Vicks” sound less elegant or sophisticated.
- If it’s important to you or your family, you may wish to consider honoring a name that is already in the family, such as a mother, sister, aunt or grandmother.
- A great way to start is by compiling a shortlist of all the names you like.
- Next, eliminate names based on whether there are others on the list that you or your partner prefer (i.e. narrow down to only your absolute favorites).
- Say the potential first, middle, and surname together aloud several times to get a feel for how they all sound together.
- Have a quick check to make sure the initials of the names don’t spell anything rude – if they do you’ll be very glad you checked!
- If you feel like you are not making progress, it’s usually best to take a break for a few days and then revisit once your mind is hopefully fresher.
- Finally, remember there’s nothing to say that you have to choose your daughter’s name before they are born. So if you have several names on the shortlist, why not wait until you meet your baby, because actually seeing them in the flesh might help you decide on the name that suits them best.
