Unique Baby Girl Names Starting With M Hindu

It's a big responsibility to select a baby name, especially when there are thousands upon thousands of names to choose from. Thankfully, narrowing the field down a bit by focusing on a specific letter can help. Like, a lot. Take P, for instance. Perhaps your name also begins with "P," or your last name does, or you've just always really liked the letter. Maybe a beloved family member has a "P" name, or a historical figure you admire. In any case, these unique baby names for girls that start with "P" will work for so many little ones. This list might as well be "P" for "practically perfect."

If you're choosing a baby name that starts with "P," you're already going to have a pretty unique baby name. Compared to others in the alphabet, "P" is a relatively uncommon letter. It's the 13th most-used in the alphabet with a relevancy of 3.2%. This helps when you're trying to avoid having your daughter be the seventh Emma in her class (E is the most commonly used letter in the alphabet).

Girls' names tend to have meanings that err on the side of sweet or cute things, and these P names are no exception. Many of the names on this list have floral or fruity meanings like Petunia, Pomona, or Prunella — the latter of which literally means "little plum." Some names are also just clearly feminized versions of boy's names like Pauline vs. Paul or Petra vs. Peter. You'll also notice a trend for names that mean "rock," which could be a good choice to remind a girl of her inner strength.
