Two Syllable Names for Girls

The Turkish girls' name Evrim is virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, but can translate easily....and be shortened to the familiar Evie (with a short initial e as in eh-vee) if you want or need.

Graca, typically written in Portuguese as Graça, is a stylish virtue name that has never made the charts in the US. The pronunciation rhymes with the Spanish word "casa."

This little-known Norwegian gem is a spelling variation of Turid — a popular name in 1940s Norway. With other Scandinavian choices such as Lumi and Juni heating up in the US, Turi could be an unexpected alternative.

One African choice that might be easier to understand if spelled phonetically: it's pronounced TAH-shee.

Breton version of Laura

A rising choice for baby girls in Uruguay.

Short for Waverly or a fresh twist on Navy, Wavy is a quirky and interesting new word name option.

A dialectal variation of Mintuu found in the Varsinais-Suomi region of Finland.
