Two Syllable Names for Girls

Breezy and flyaway.

Mikki (and Mickie and Micki) are outmoded nickname names or short forms of Michelle: Today's version is Mikko.

See JALEN.

Wren is one of the trendiest girl names in recent years, and the longer forms Wrenley and now Wrenlee are firmly in the Top 1000 as well. This leads to Wrenlyn, which combines the popular wren prefix with the trendy -lyn ending. Wrenlyn debuted for the first time in the US data in 2022, and was given to 8 baby girls. The spelling Wrenlynn was also a new debut.

A deity of fate and destiny in Latvian and Lithuanian mythology. Laima prophesizes how the life of a newborn will take place — sometimes there was only one Laima, while in other cases three Laimas would give contradicting predictions.

Denisse was the fastest-rising name for girls of 2020 — influenced by Denisse Novoa, a contestant on the 2019 season of the popular reality TV show Exatlón Estados Unidos. Traditional spelling Denise also made a comeback. It looks to be short-lived, though: both spellings fell again in 2021.

Woodsy baby names are on the rise — particularly for boys — but Woodland has potential as a girl name as well. Woods is a preppy nickname option, with the ultra-feminine association of Legally Blonde protagonist Elle Woods.

Déja was a name sensation of the nineties, reaching the Top 15 in African-American popularity lists, but it has déja fallen far from those lofty heights.

Balletic, à la pirouette.
