Nicknames for Girls That Are Cute Yet Classic

Nicknames for girls can run the gamut from fun or silly to sweet or spunky. Sometimes, these names happen spontaneously, as in calling your little love Bunny or Sweetpea. Other times, nicknames are chosen well in advance.

For example, parents might pick a longer or more formal baby name with the hopes of using a cute nickname most of the time. In other cases, nicknames morph with a child as they mature. They might be Margaret on their birth certificate but are called Maggie as a toddler, Mags in middle school, Peg in high school, and Madge later on in life.

If you're hoping to use nicknames with your child, it's smart to select a first name that has multiple nickname options. This way, if your baby girl doesn't love their nickname—or given name—they can choose another one when they're older.

Remember that nicknames can also be whatever you want—they don't necessarily have to flow organically from their given name. Or you can dispense with a formal name altogether and officially name your child the nickname you love. Need a bit of inspiration? Look no further. Here are some of our favorite nicknames for girls.
