When expecting parents sit down to brainstorm baby names, middle names aren’t always a top priority. While last names connect us to family, and first names are central to our sense of self and can even shape our futures, middle names can hide in plain sight for decades. But middle names for girls can carry quite a bit of weight — and have tons of potential.

Middle names for girls can be a way for parents to fit in a name they love too much to give up or offer a space for compromise if parents can’t quite agree on the first name. Middle names, particularly for girls, also allow parents to be bolder with their name choices. They’re a great way to add instant individuality to a newborn. While some baby middle names carry forward a piece of family lore, other middle names are wild cards played for novelty, cute factor, region, or to put a unique spin on an otherwise popular or traditional first name. Finding a good middle name for a baby girl is an opportunity for parents to say more about the newest addition to the family.

No matter how you approach it, any middle name you love is sure to work. Once your baby girl is here, you’ll love her middle name because it’s hers. To get you started, here are 115 beautiful middle names for girls that can stand alone or you can combine to create a unique hyphenated first name.
