Funny Names to Call Your Daughter

You probably spent a lot of time choosing the perfect name for your baby girl. It's an important decision; however, using nicknames is a popular thing to do, so you may not end up calling her by her given name. If a sweet nickname evolves and sticks as she grows up, her given name may only come up when you really want her to listen.

Let's rewind. We all know that as a precious little baby, you're bound to try out some of the many cute nicknames parents use on their new buddles of joy. These baby girl nicknames are sweet, funny, and unique and could be fun to use if you haven't caught yourself using them already.

We've compiled over 150 nicknames people have used for baby girls, and while some you might expect, like Sweetie Pie or Honey Bun, some are unexpected and may make you giggle, like Doodlebug and Banana Muffin. Some are based on personality, some are based on appearances, and some are based on… well, nothing at all. This list may inspire you with what to call your own little girl. Take a look at our list.

Baby girl nicknames: Anything goes

You could come up with any baked good, flower, cartoon character, or really any word and turn it into a baby nickname as long as you say it in a babyish voice. Most of these nicknames will only stick around for babyhood but be careful — you don't necessarily want Pork Chop or Stinker to be the nickname that sticks! Don't let that hold you back from letting this be the time to experiment with lots of different nicknames at home, though.

You have so much time to talk to your baby, so they get that great language development from listening to you, so call them all the silly names you want and see what makes them laugh. If a nickname based on their name or personality ends up sticking for life, it could turn into something wonderful.
