Two Syllable Names for Girls

The double vowel changes this name's pronunciation and gives it a novel twist.

A Californian city name that feels like a natural successor to trendy unisex Oakley and Oaklynn.

Quaint, quirky, and slightly clunky, Shirleyann is a smoosh name with a 30s feel about it. An unexpected vintage choice, a potential honor name, or perhaps for diehard fans of Anne of Green Gables (though maybe Shirleyanne would be better).

All the Oak names are trending for girls and boys, with Oakley the most popular choices and Oaklie one of the rarer variations.

To most, the name Austra is most likely to be connected to Australia (or Austria), but to Latvians, Austra was the goddess of the dawn.

The Egyptian city of Luxor was the ancient city of Thebes, at one time the capital of Ancient Egypt. The name derives from the Arabic term al-ʾuqṣur, meaning "the palaces" or "castles."

Solo is a singular word name with special meaning for Star Wars fans. Equally appropriate for girls and boys, it works especially well in the middle.

Faigel is a secret nature name deriving from the Yiddish word for "bird". Variants include Faiga and Faige.

A pretty alternative to Hadley, but perhaps a little too close to sound distinctive. Hedy would be a cool nickname, after legendary actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr.
