    The holiday season is almost here.  And that means Santa’s elves will be arriving at homes around the world to entertain and keep tabs on all the little boys and girls as Christmas approaches. Does your family do the holiday tradition with the Elf on the Shelf?

    If you’re thinking about getting one this year or have already purchased one for your family, you’re going to need to give it a name! After giving your elf a name, you’ll want to decide how to welcome your Elf into your home as well.

    Take a peek at these 50 fun girl Elf on the Shelf names to find the perfect one for your family’s elf.  

    We also have a list of boy elf names you can check out.

    Who Names the Elf on the Shelf?

    If you have never done the Elf on the Shelf tradition in your house, you may be wondering who names the elf. It would make sense that Santa or the Elf would give the little one its name. But that’s not the case!

    According to the story that comes along with the Elf on the Shelf, it’s your child’s job to pick the perfect name for their elf. In fact, the elf’s magic won’t kick in until the elf is officially named!

    That’s a big job for a little person. Whether your youngster is just too little to come up with a name on their own or your older kids need a little help agreeing on a name for their elf, I’ve got you covered!

    This is a huge list with a lot of elf girl name ideas that includes everything from cute to silly names, which means you’re sure to find the perfect name for the newest addition to your holiday family.

    But even if you read through this list and don’t find the perfect name, don’t worry!

    At the bottom of this post I outline some other ways to come up with a name that will be meaningful to your family. So, keep reading to get inspired and pick the perfect name for your girl Elf on the Shelf.

    Tips for Picking a Good Female Elf on the Shelf Name

    Picking the perfect Elf on the Shelf name can seem difficult, but it doesn’t have to be! Consider these easy tips when picking a name for your family’s elf this year.

    Make it simple. Picking a simple name is essential because you want your children to be able to remember (and say) the name throughout the holiday season.

    Make it fun. There’s no reason to give your elf a boring name! Picking a fun name will make the entire tradition so much more enjoyable.

    Give your kids some direction. Kids left to their own devices can come up with some pretty strange things. Before they’re set on a name, give your kids some direction by offing suggestions from this list.

    Consider two names. If your kids can’t decide on just one name, don’t worry! We all have a first and last name, so why shouldn’t your elf? If your kids have two favorite names, use them both to give her a first and last name this year.

    Name her after your child’s best friend
    Name her after your child’s favorite character from a book or movie
    Name her after your child’s favorite singer, actor, or athlete
    Use other things your child loves to inspire the name (favorite snack, drink, color, or activity)
