Two Syllable Names for Girls

Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder put this place name on the map when she used it for her daughter Hartford Charlie Rose.

A rare but rising unisex name — used more often on baby girls.

Rather than going with a yooneek spelling like Macen (or Maysen or Masyn), we'd suggest sticking with the original Mason, as Kelsey Grammer did for his daughter.

An unusual but fairly straightforward name, with an appealing meaning conjuring up wild, graceful seabirds.

Twiggy was the working name of English international supermodel and original 'mod squad' girl Lesley Lawson. While the name conjures images of cool 60s parties and glamour, be warned that this could be a hard name to wear as a teenager, particularly if you're not stick thin. Perhaps best to keep this one as a middle name or nickname.

Rising star Nailah Blackman is a Trinidadian singer.

A fresh take on Jessica, Jessel is currently borne in the public eye by Jessel Taank, a Real Housewife of New York City.

Sometimes cited as an Anglicized form of the Spanish name Rosalia/Rosaelia, Zaelia may also derive from other similar-sounding names, like Azalea, Zelia or Zélie. With high-value Scrabble letters and the "ay" sound bang on-trend, it's surprising that this striking name remains so rare.

Used by the ancient Romans to distinguish a sixth daughter from her sisters of the same name. The first three letters make it pretty much unusable today.

This name has more substance than you might imagine: it's the name of a small, pink-breasted songbird (whose favorite food is linseed), it's also a medieval French form of the Welsh name Eiluned, and in the Lynette spelling appeared in Arthurian legend as the love object of Gareth.
