Two Syllable Names for Girls

A beautiful Indian name used particularly by Sikh families.

Lyja was created as a name for the Marvel Comics superhero in 1984. Her name has not caught on, but its similarity to names like Lila and Leah makes it a plausible choice, although pronunciation could be an issue (we would say LYE-uh).

Variation of Katherine.

Plummeted from #334 to #851, and is the fastest-falling girl name in 2009.
