Short girl names

Short girl names have many advantages. For example, it doesn’t matter how long the last name is, short first names always go. They are also easy to pronounce and are considered powerful, concise and assertive . Short names do not need a nickname , as the name itself is short enough and its length does not bother anyone when it is pronounced.

We have created a selection of short girl names for you. Following the motto “the shorter the better”, we have chosen names that have a maximum of three sounds . This means that names with silent or double letters are also included. However, the pronunciation is limited to three sounds.

You will already know some of the names, others come from other languages ​​and may not sound as familiar to you. Nevertheless, they all have something in common: They appear assertive to others, are perfect for double names and go with almost every last name.

Long girl names

Long girl names

The internationally longest registered maiden name is “Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth”. Another registered Nigerian given name is “Esenosarumensemwonken”. However, since such exaggeratedly long first names tend to cause difficulties in pronunciation, we have limited ourselves to girls’ names up to a maximum of ten letters , most of which come from the European-speaking area. Anything else would probably cause too many problems for the child in the future.

Still, long girl names make a noble impression. Queens often had long first names and they usually have a long tradition. Due to their length, they exude a certain specialty and elegance.In 1904 little Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Zeus was born in Hamburg with a proud 26 first names. In the meantime, a mother wanted to give her son 12 first names. The offices refused, and after all, a maximum of five first names are allowed in Germany today.

Old German girl names

Old German girl names

Many names used to be very long. There are numerous old German names that are reminiscent of bygone times such as the Middle Ages or the post-war period. Back then it was still customary to simply turn classic boy names into girl names by adding an “a” to the end. For example, “Ferdinand” became the maiden name “Ferdinanda”, “Gerhard” became “Gerhardina” and “Phillipp” became “Phillippa”.

Old German girls’ names are slowly coming back into fashion. Even if “Kunigunde” and “Kriemhilde” are rarely to be found, “Christiane” and “Annegret” are already represented quite regularly in Germany. Classic names from our grandmother generation such as “Edeltraud” or “Hannelore” are also no stranger to us. Old German names have a serious and conventional aura , which usually creates a good and intelligent first impression of the name bearer.

Girl names from all over the world

In the following chapters you will find beautiful girl names from all over the world. Even if there are many pretty names for girls in Germany, names from other countries and languages sometimes just better suit personal taste. They are also well suited if you are looking for a special name for your child. We have Nordic, Japanese, Hawaiian, French, Spanish and Slavic girl names for you.

Nordic girl names

Some Nordic names were firmly established in Germany as early as the 1970s. They come from today’s Sweden, Norway, Denmark or Finland and have their origins in old Scandinavian or North Germanic languages. Icelandic, Faroese, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are meant .

As originally Germanic languages, the Nordic languages ​​are even distantly related to German . The North Germanic, however, split off from the West Germanic at some point. The relationship between the languages ​​could be one reason for the popularity of Nordic names in Germany. They sound somehow familiar and traditional, but still special, rare and lively . They are modern and fashionable for us, as they are not one of the well-known old German names, but still have a long history and durability, which is reflected in their sound.

Japanese girls names

Japanese girls names

In contrast to Nordic, English or French first names, Japanese maiden names are not that common in Germany. So they are something very special and also have a soft, beautiful sound . They are usually short and easy to pronounce, so they are also great for double names.

If the child gets a long last name, short Japanese first names are very suitable. However, you should avoid alliterations and pronounce the full name often to see whether it goes well with the middle name or the surname.

In the case of names from the Asian-speaking area, you should find out about their meaning beforehand. First names from comics or series are not recommended, as they are not given as a name in Japan and usually have no significant meaning. Also pay attention to the spelling. If it’s too unusual, your child will have to spell their name over and over later.

Hawaiian girls names

Hawaiian is the native language of the Polynesian people of the Hawaiian Islands. It is made up of all five vowels known in Germany (A, E, I, O, U) and only seven consonants (H, K, L, M, N, P, W). In total, the language has only 13 phonemes (sounds), which causes a certain consonance of the names and a clear recognizability of the language. Because of this, it sounds particularly melodic to us and is very easy to pronounce . In Hawaiian, almost all names are spoken as they are written.

Many people associate the Hawaiian sound with a certain holiday feeling . The names trigger positive associations and thus have a sympathetic effect on others. Read the names in combination with your last name and find the right sound for your daughter. Almost all Hawaiian names have a beautiful, nature-loving, soulful meaning. So you can’t go wrong with them.

French maiden names

French maiden names

When properly pronounced, French is a very melodic and melodious language . That is why it is particularly popular with girls in Germany. Some names have accents that make your daughter’s name special and yet don’t jeopardize pronunciation.

Long boy names

Long boy names

The longest boy’s name registered in Germany was given in 1904. Between the first name “Adolph” and the last first name “Zeus” there are another 24 first names that none of his acquaintances could remember, let alone wanted to pronounce completely. After a mother wanted to give her son 12 first names in 2004, it was determined that the choice of first names must now be limited by law to five.

However, if you like long names, you don’t always have to resort to second, third or fourth names. There are many beautiful polysyllabic boy names that, unlike name additions, are also pronounced completely. Long first names go particularly well with short surnames. However, expect your son’s entourage to shorten his name to a nickname sooner or later so that it is easier to pronounce and sounds less serious.

The following boy names have at least three or more syllables . They can also be optically extended by using a slightly different spelling. For example, “Leonard” could become “Leonhardt” or “Fridolin” could become “Friedolien”.

1. Sebastian
2. Maximilian
3. Jonathan
4. Matthias
5. Alexander
6. Benedict

Boy names from around the world and their meanings

Boy names from around the world and their meanings

It is always an advantage if you not only deal with local names, but also ask around in other countries. Often there are special and sonorous names that you would otherwise not come up with on your own.

We have compiled Nordic, Japanese, Hawaiian, French, Spanish and Slavic boy names for you and added their meanings. The choice of names is based on uncomplicated spelling, easy pronunciation and a beautiful sound .

Nordic boy names

There were already some established Nordic names in Germany in the 1970s. They come mainly from Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark and have their origins in old North Germanic languages. Faroese, Icelandic, Norwegian , Swedish, and Danish produced some of the names that are popular in Germany today.

Their high popularity could be due to the fact that the Nordic languages ​​are distantly related to German . Both come from ancient Germanic languages ​​that have diverged over time. The well-known sound of Nordic could be one reason why native German speakers perceive it as well-tried and traditional. However, since they differ from classic German names, they appear even more lively and special.
