Two Syllable Names for Girls

Elzie was given to 16 baby girls in the US last year, almost certainly as a spelling variation of the increasingly popular sweet nickname Elsie, a diminutive of Elizabeth.

Loti is the Welsh spelling of the diminutive Lottie.

One in the currently modish aden family of boys' names beginning to be used for girls as well as boys. The name Brayden was given to 15 baby girls in the US last year....and over 5000 baby boys, so it can hardly be considered gender neutral, but rather a boys' name occasionally used for girls.

Best known as the name of Sibi Blažić, Christian Bale's wife. She has Serbian heritage.

Spelling variant Kailee has never been as popular as the y spelling of the name.

The Spanish variation of the 80s and 90s American favorite Amber has an international flair.

Rhymes with Bianca, but so much more refreshing! This strong and beautiful Indian name has come into the spotlight in recent years thanks to two famous bearers of the name: Miss Japan 2016 Priyanka Yoshikawa, and award-winning Indian actress Priyanka Chopra.

Tindra is a new name in Sweden, used only since the 1980s, that has become enormously popular: It's in the Top 60 there. And while unknown in the US, Tindra certainly has possibilities as a substitute for the flagging Kendra.

One of the many liquid, vowel-heavy names that are so fashionable right now.

The adorable animal name made its way into the baby name pool when Macklemore used it as the middle name for his daughter Colette in 2018.

As Cora rises to become one of the most admired and popular names for girls, more and more variations will arise. But given that the original Greek form is Kore, this one isn't as kree8if as it first may appear. Still, Cora's appeal is its history and simplicity, both negated by Korra.
