Nameberry’s Top 25 - 2026! - Girls’ Edition

General Name Discussion
1

Hi berries!

It’s once again time for my labor of love, where I ask you for your top 25 names for each gender, and then combine the data to see which ones are truly our favorites! I started this because there were popularity lists based on the name profiles people are viewing, but there wasn’t anything that tracked the names we love! (Because if we love them, we’re probably not gathering information on them by looking them up a ton.)

So without further ado, please share with me your 25 favorite individual girl names (double barrels are fine, just no combos, please!). IMPORTANT NOTE: This year, I’m attempting a weighted list where the top choice for each post is worth 25 points and the 25th name is worth 1 point. Because of this, please organize your favorites as best you can in order of preference!

Random other notes about the process for those who want to know!
  1. If you don’t have 25 favorites—feel free to list less! I’m happy to log whichever names you do have on your list.
  2. Due to the small sample size, I combine spellings of names.
  3. Any duplicate names with the same spelling—I will ask you if you want to replace the name with another name.
  4. Any duplicates with different spellings (like Katherine at #4 and Catherine at #21) would count toward two votes for Katherine.
  5. This thread will remain open until I can log everyone’s responses. Feel free to respond any time up until the results are posted.
  6. I’m in the habit of hearting your response after I’ve logged responses—if you are indecisive or change your mind, if I haven’t hearted your response, feel free to make whatever changes needed. If I have logged your response, and you really want to make a change, please reach out and I’ll see what I can do!

The boys’ thread can be found HERE.

Thanks for sharing your lovelies with me!

  1. [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
