Two Syllable Names for Girls

Upbeat Scottish surname reminiscent of Kenzie. Kedzie Avenue is a major North-South street in Chicago, named after real estate developer John Hume Kedzie.

Alternative spelling of Wesley, more commonly given to girls.

Rarely heard outside the Jewish community; another form is Minda.

This boys' name is a name that may be starting to cross over into the pink list in the US - with over 50 baby girls named Lamar in 2015. For what it is worth, we consider that Lamarr might be a better alternative for girls, given its connection to the extraordinary Hedy Lamarr, screen actress and inventor of the technology eventually used in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology.

Variant spelling of Sheila, which derives from Síle, an Irish form of Cecilia. The -gh ending has been added to give a more Irish flair, although this isn't a traditional Irish spelling.

Evocative of hulas, leis, and luaus.

Actress Leelee Sobieski's real name is Liliane, after her French grandmother -- a better choice for any baby-namer.
