Two Syllable Names for Girls

A name used in India fitting for an especially wished-for child.

A nickname style name, Neelie could derive from the strong sounding Cornelia, as a playful alternative to Nellie from Eleanor and Helena, or as a variation of the Scottish surname McNeilly, with the cool meaning "son of the poet".

Harleth is a name which probably stems from combining the oh-so-trendy Harlow with the evergreen Elizabeth. However, literary parents may also remember the beautiful but difficult character Gwendolen Harleth from George Eliot's Daniel Deronda. Harleth has a fashionable edge to it, being associated with rising supermodel Harleth Kuusik.
