220+ Boho Baby Girl Names

Boho names tend to share a feeling rather than an origin: soft sounds, something of the natural world, and a sense that the name has been around a while. Here they are grouped by where that feeling comes from — and when the list gets overwhelming, put your favourites on the wheel and let it choose.

Questions

What makes a name "boho"?

There is no official category — it is a sound and an association rather than an origin. Most boho names do one of three things: reference the natural world (Willow, Sage), revive something Edwardian or older (Clementine, Ottilie), or suggest freedom and travel (Wilder, Journey). Soft consonants and an unhurried rhythm are common to nearly all of them.

How do I narrow a long list down?

Shortlist ruthlessly first — say eight names — and only then use the wheel. Spinning a list of two hundred tells you nothing, because you have no reaction to most of them. Spinning eight tells you a great deal, because the moment it lands you will notice whether you are pleased or disappointed. That reaction is the actual answer.

Are these names popular or unusual?

A mix, deliberately. Luna, Willow and Hazel are firmly in the mainstream top 100 in several countries; Ottilie, Elowen and Linnet are not. Popularity moves fast, so check your own country's current list before ruling something out for being too common.

Can I add my own names to the wheel?

Yes. The wheel above is loaded with a starting selection, and you can edit the list freely — clear it and paste your own shortlist, or add names as you find them. Nothing is sent anywhere; the list stays in your browser.
