75 Easy-To-Pronounce Girl Names We Love

Does it seem like easy-to-pronounce names for girls are a thing of the past? Your BFFs’ kiddos have three-, four-, or more-syllable names — and even though their babies are now tweens, you still can’t figure out the pronunciations. Sigh.

Having a difficult-to-say name can be a struggle for someone all their life. How frustrating it, is it to constantly have to correct teachers, doctors, or receptionists on how to sound your name out. (Being at the DMV is stressful enough)

Baby girl names don’t have to include every vowel in the alphabet, accents, and apostrophes. If you want simple, short names that your little girl won’t have to spell out every time she introduces herself, these are our picks!

And as a bonus, these names are short enough for your girl to learn to write it out herself well before she starts preschool!

P.S. you can also nab one of these popular picks for your little girl’s middle name too.
