Two Syllable Names for Girls

Common botanical choice in Japan.

Variation of Kaylee and Kali with the popular "-leigh" suffix.

Like the original spelling Micah, more parents each year are considering this name for girls.

A variation of Riley with an added -lynn suffix, this girl name is bubbling right underneath the Top 1000.

Feeney is an Irish surname found mostly in northwest Ireland. It may rise in the US as a first name for girls along with such Irish surnames as Riley and Kennedy. Feeney might also be considered an out-of-the-box short form of Josephine.

Ameyo is a common name in West Africa, where it is traditional to give a child a name that reflects their time of birth. Ameyo means "born on Saturday" and is derived from the word mene. Kwame is the masculine counterpart.

The lovely Anastasia comes with a multitude of nickname options, and Stassie is a cute one we don't hear often.

Kasey was a modestly popular choice among Millennial babies, particularly girls.

This feminine form of Jean was most popular in the 1930s in its home country, and in the 1960s in the US. It's fallen off the Top 1000 list since, but perhaps cute retro nickname Jeannie could tempt some vintage-loving parents back.

Fresher sounding than Mandy or Brandy, but Thandie might be a more original way to go.
