Girl Names People Won't Shorten

It’s a complaint shared by many parents: they name their daughter something beautiful, like Alexandra, only for everyone she meets to chop it up into Alex or Allie or Lexi. If you want to make sure everyone calls your daughter by her actual name, we’ve compiled a list of beautiful – but un-nickname-able – baby girl names.

Naming a baby can be scary. We can help! Check out our baby name database here.
