Predictions for 2025

Of the short girl names on this list, there are 5 that I believe are poised to see sharp rises in popularity in 2025…

Maeve

Current rank: #73

After entering the US top 1000 in 2014 at #804, Maeve has shown an extraordinary rise of 731 spots in just 9 years.

Its recent momentum is particularly impressive: jumping 30 spots from #103 to #73 in 2023 – a remarkable surge for a name already in the top 100.

The name has gained massive visibility through Netflix’s “Sex Education” (2019-2023) and HBO’s “Westworld” (2016-2022), as well as Sarah J. Maas’s bestselling fantasy novels.

Following the pattern of successful short names with ‘ae’ sounds, Maeve hits multiple contemporary trends while feeling both fresh and classic.

Its ability to keep accelerating even at higher rankings suggests Maeve is positioned for a potential breakthrough into the top 50 by 2025.

Nova

Current rank: #35

Nova has rocketed from #886 in 2011 to #35 in 2023 – a stunning climb of over 850 spots in just twelve years.

The name’s strength is clear: while the alternate spelling “Novah” struggles at #704, Nova maintains powerful momentum in the top 50.

When Norman Reedus and Diane Kruger revealed it as their daughter’s name in 2022, Nova was already soaring – showing this isn’t just celebrity influence.

Nova fits perfectly with both the celestial trend (like Luna at #10) and the strong ‘v’ sound seen in today’s top names.

Its ability to keep climbing even at high rankings suggests Nova could break into the top 25 by 2025.

Wren

Current rank: #196

Wren has shown remarkable consistent growth, climbing 802 spots since entering the top 1000 in 2012.

The name is succeeding internationally – it’s now #150 in England, where usage has more than tripled since 2012.

As both a nature name and a single-syllable choice, Wren hits two major current naming trends.

Its recent breakthrough into the US top 200 shows accelerating momentum rather than slowing growth.

This pattern of steady rises in multiple markets suggests Wren is positioned for a major surge by 2025.

Blair

Current rank: #239

Blair has shown extraordinary momentum, climbing 738 spots since 2011.

The alternative spelling “Blaire” (#516) is also rising rapidly, indicating even stronger overall popularity than the rankings suggest.

The name gained significant cultural capital through Blair Waldorf in “Gossip Girl” (2007-2012), with the HBO Max reboot (2021) bringing fresh visibility.

Both spellings continue showing consistent year-over-year growth rather than spikes, suggesting sustained momentum rather than a fleeting trend.

Currently performing better than its previous peak in the 1980s, Blair appears poised to break into the top 200 for the first time in recorded history.

Navy

Current rank: #363

Navy has shot up 450 spots since entering the top 1000 in 2019, including a dramatic 120-spot jump in 2023.

The name gained initial visibility when country star Jason Aldean chose it for his daughter, but its recent surge shows momentum beyond celebrity influence.

Navy’s appeal combines multiple trends: color names, military connection, and the popular ‘v’ sound.

Its ability to make triple-digit jumps multiple times shows unusual viral potential.

With this kind of acceleration, Navy could break into the top 200 by 2025.

What makes these names different

Many of the short girl names on our list have shown brief popularity spikes, but these five demonstrate rare patterns that often predict viral growth.

Maeve and Nova are particularly notable because they’re still gaining momentum even at high rankings – something that almost never happens.

Wren’s simultaneous rise in multiple countries mirrors the early patterns of names that later exploded in popularity, like Luna and Aria.

Blair shows the coveted “dual-spelling momentum” pattern – with both Blair (#239) and Blaire (#516) rising steadily, similar to early patterns seen in names like Ivy/Ivie before their breakout.

Navy’s multiple triple-digit jumps follow the trajectory of recent viral names like Oakley and Palmer.

While most trending names show signs of slowing by now, all five of these continue to accelerate. Their momentum, paired with strong cultural and style influences, suggests they’re just getting started.

Of these five, Maeve and Nova show the strongest potential for dramatic rises, while Wren, Blair, and Navy appear positioned for steady but significant climbs.

Keep watching these short girl’s names – they’re likely to be everywhere by 2025.
