There are plenty of "P" name options, from Parker to Princeton, Phoebe, to Paulina.

Searching for the perfect baby name for your soon-to-be son or daughter? Why not try a baby name that starts with "P"?

From gender-neutral names, like Pacific or Paisley, to Biblical names like Peter or Paul, there’s no shortage of great baby names that start with “P” for expecting parents to consider.

According to date compiled by the Social Security Administration, "P" names for girls have fallen in popularity over the past four decades. In 1964, Patricia ranked the fourth most popular baby name for girls.

Boy names that start with "P" haven't breached the top four since the SSA started collecting data in 1923.

Still, celebrity parents have been turning to the letter "P" for inspiration when choosing baby names for their newborns.

In 2023, Paris Hilton welcomed her first child via surrogate — a son named Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.

Backstreet Boy singer Nick Carter and his wife, Lauren Kitt, decided to name their third child, a baby girl, Pearl, while singer Christina Perri and her husband, Paul Costabile, named their daughter Pixie Rose.

Of course, there's no shortage of celebrities with "P" names themselves, including Prince, Paul McCartney, Paul Newman, Pedro Pascal, Pamela Anderson, Paula Abdul, Patrick Stewart, Phil Collins, Pharrell Williams, Patti LaBelle, and Pete Davidson.
