The ultimate list of single-syllable girl names

What is the most attractive name for a girl?

Well, that’s in the ear of the beholder. Personally? We love these.

Bao. Of Chinese origin, this sweet name means precious treasure.
Bea. Pilgrim or traveler, Bea is short for the old classics Beatrice and Beatrix.
Belle. Means beautiful. Simple as that.
Bex. With Hebrew origins (Rebecca), Bex means captivating. And with that “x” on the end, it’s kinda like Becca—but with that little something extra thrown in.
Bliss. Enough said.
Bree. Means strength. Sounds sweet. And of course, if you replace that “i” with an “e”: cheese. 🧀
Brooke. A small stream. (Warning: you may have a babbling one.)
Char. Short for a bunch of names (Charlie, Charmaine, Charlotte) and oh-so-sweet on its own. It means free man.
Cho. Of Japanese origin, it means butterfly. 🦋
Dea. Goddess. That’s what it means in Latin. Plain and simple.
Dot. Short for Dorothy which means gift from God. And something about a yellow brick road.
Dove. As a first name or a middle name, who doesn’t want to bring some peace into the world? 🕊
Drew. Wise. That’s what it means. There you have it.
Elle. Simply means she in French.

Faith. You gotta have it, apparently.
Fawn. A young deer that you can, well, fawn over.

Fleur. Yes, this means flower in French. Exquisite.
Grace. Love, kindness, goodness…
Greer. Watchful. Alert. Nothing gets past this one.
Hope. Hope never goes out of style.
