Nicknames for Girls | Nameberry
Nicknames for girls are cool again. The best girl nicknames today are not the cutesy Cindys and Mindys, Candys and Randis of the '60s and '70s, but rather vintage diminutives or sassy nicknames with attitude.
Some parents choose proper names as a way to get to girls' nicknames they like: Adeline for Addie, say, or Eleanor for Ellie. Or baby girl nicknames can lighten or soften too-imposing family names. Wilhelmina turns cute when she's called Billie, and Daisy can be a wonderful nickname for Marguerite.
More and more parents are electing to put nicknames straight on the birth certificate, and there's no reason that nicknames can't also be a formal names. Many nicknames for girls are now appearing on popularity lists, with top choices including Ellie, Josie, Kate, Tess, and Sadie. Trending girls' nicknames include Frankie and Billie.
The nicknames for girls listed here are ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
