Why Should I Give My Baby a Rich Girl Name?

1. Easy to remember: A memorable name might help a child stand out, such as a name that's less common than it used to be. Running into a name they've never before seen or heard can be a real hang-up for many people, so most of the names on this list will have been seen before or heard before, or they'll be pronounceable for most people.
2. Easy to find inspiration: A rich name might help your child find inspiration in the future. This could help them build self-esteem and give them a role model to show them what's truly achievable.
3. Gender connotations: Names can be more or less masculine or feminine. Depending on where and how your child grows up, you may find that more doors open to them with gender neutral first names, or with names that have heavier gender connotations.
4. Harder to discriminate: Discrimination has been a sad truth of the world for centuries. Many steps have been taken to fight it, but depending on your personal philosophy, if you want to give your child a small head start, you can consider that many of the names on these lists offer very little information for a potential employer, business partner, or administrations officer to draw conclusions from.

Tips for Creating a Unique Name

One way that some parents try to help their child stand out is to give them a name that will surely be unique. As a word of warning, this sort of thing can easily backfire — consider that the number of children named Neveah grows each year, for instance, and remember that your child may have to spend their whole life correcting people who have trouble pronouncing or spelling an unconventional combination of letters.

If a child encounters enough difficulty with their name, they may also be more likely to go by a nickname, making you wonder why you gave them something so unique in the first place! Nonetheless, if you must give your child a name that will be theirs and theirs alone, here are some ways to do it:

1. Spell it in an unusual way: Suzy, Soosie, and Soozy are all less common than Susie, but just as easy to pronounce.
2. Mix up the genders: Many names most commonly given to girls have male counterparts.
3. Squash two names together: There are probably not a lot of girls named TillieMyra, for instance.
4. Include a middle name: Give the child a middle name that can be combined with their first name, like Anna Marie or Mary Kate. This is similar to number three, and going by two names can also set your girl apart.
