"Baby girl names like Sophia and Charlotte are common in 2025. But, in my opinion, baby names that start with the letter ‘V’ are so underrated, especially baby girl names with ‘V.’ These names are so powerful and notably beautiful that they’ll surely sky to the top of your list.
The common theme to ‘V’ names is that they are strong and royal-esque. Queen Victoria did reign for 63 years. Need I say more? And while the name Vinny is super cute, it’s a strong one, too. The name also means “victorious.”
If you’re still looking for a name, don’t overlook baby girl names that start with ‘V.’ A name starting with the letter ‘V’ could also fall under the ‘cool-girl’ names, in my opinion. So, still trying to find which name will perfectly fit your little girl? These beautiful ‘V’ names might just be your answer. You’ll find pretty vintage names that start with ‘V,’ modern ‘V’ names, and many gorgeous ‘V’ names of Hindu origin. Read on for 100+ baby girl names that start with the letter ‘V.’
