There are a lot of names that start with the letter “D” but what are some of the most unique ones out there for baby girls? There are a couple out there that really pop out and grab one’s attention thoroughly.
Daenerys is a relatively new name for a girl that many sword and sorcery fans will recognize right off the bat. Daenerys is a pivotal main character of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones novels as well as its highly successful television series. Daenerys is a steadfast, brave, and compassionate leader that has stirred the hearts and minds of fantasy aficionados everywhere, and her name is rising in popularity nationwide for baby girls.
If you’re prone to enjoying the presence of flowers in your life, then Dahlia might be a good choice to name your little girl. It’s primarily a Swedish surname that means “Dahl’s flower” however it can fit quite well for anyone’s little newborn daisy.
Now, if you lean more towards the mythic and want your baby girl’s name to echo that sensibility, then perhaps a choice between Daphne, Destiny or Diana might be suitable. Daphne is the name of a woodland nymph from Greek mythology that gets transformed into a laurel tree. Diana is the name of an ancient Roman moon goddess.
Finally, Destiny is a solid choice for any girl as her name will literally be made of something inspiring and magical, and that is destiny itself. This has been a highly popular name in the United States in recent years and it’s still going strong.
