Looking for long girl names that are elegant and beautiful for your baby?
There are over 300 stunning ideas – plus their meanings – to choose from here.
Long girl names can be traditional and vintage or modern and unique.
Longer names of seven letters or more do not dominate the baby name charts. So you can find some really special, rarely used names here, as well as familiar favourites.
Many of these names can be shortened to gorgeous nicknames for girls with lots of different options. This is one of the biggest benefits of choosing a longer name.
What is the longest girl’s name?
The girl with the longest name has 1,019 letters in her unique moniker! Seriously. It’s a real mouthful that I can’t even guess how you pronounce!
Apparently her friends and family just call her Jamie. Which just goes to show you it’s important to consider the nicknames your baby’s name might inspire if you want something unique!
The names in this article will certainly not be that long! Below you will find girl’s names made up of seven letters, eight letters, nine letters and 10+ letters.

Tips for choosing a long name for your baby
Need a little help finalising your baby’s name? Try these tips.
Write down names you love
Make a note of any name that you are drawn to.
Even if you are not 100% sold on the name, you may find a diminutive of that name or similar name that is perfect later on.
Once you have written down names that really appeal to you then you may start to see a pattern. Do you prefer vintage names? Maybe you love names that end in “y” or names that start with “ana”.
Whatever the case, first identifying those names is a good start. A baby names book can be useful for this process – you can use post-it notes to mark the pages.
Create a shortlist
Narrow down your baby names to a shortlist of your favourites.
If you and your partner really differ on the names that you love then create a shortlist each and see if there is any crossover. Maybe there is a name that connects two names you both like.
Take your time
It’s OK to take a step back for a few weeks and consider the names. This is a big decision and there’s no need to rush.
If you approach your due date and still don’t have a final decision on the name, that’s totally OK! You’ve still got time after your baby is born to make a final decision.
