For any parent-to-be, picking a baby name puts on the pressure. It's going to stick, whether you like it or not—and whether you select a classic family name or out-of-the-box moniker. We've put together a lengthy list of some of the most popular girl names, as well as unique names for your little chick. A name can say a lot about someone, and every baby name means something different.

Choosing a name can be a high-pressure endeavor, especially when it seems like family members, co-workers, friends, and every random person you meet on the street has an opinion. Focus on what is most meaningful to you. Maybe it's honoring an ancestor or cultural tradition. Or perhaps it all comes down to the name's meaning—something pretty like Delilah means "delicate woman," while a plucky name like Zelda means "fighting in darkness."

You could choose a moniker that is meaningful to you alone, like the city where you met your significant other. Before settling on a name, consider how popular the name is and how those first initials would look in a monogram. And finally, listen to your instincts, no matter what that chorus of voices around you is saying.

Ultimately, a good name will feel right for your family. Without further ado, here are some of the most popular baby girl names for each letter of the alphabet.
