Whether it’s because you’ve got a long or double-barrelled surname, you’re hunting for the perfect middle name or you simply like to keep things short and sweet – we’ve got you covered on one syllable girl’s names. There are plenty of gorgeous choices from the traditional, like Grace, to the more unusual, like Blue. One of the pros and cons of one syllable girls’ names is that they generally can’t be shortened. It’s a shame, if you like a nickname, but a very good thing if you don’t want someone calling your child a name you didn’t actually choose! Other longer names have lovely one syllable nicknames – like Liv for Olivia or Rae for Rachel – so you can have the best of both worlds; a short girl name and more options for future. Whatever your style, we’ve got 40 one syllable girl names sure to add to your shortlist!
