Two Syllable Names for Girls

This is Catalonia's native form of Lucy, but parents today tend to prefer the Spanish version Lúcia.

Names from anime series are becoming increasingly popular, and Anime itself is now occasionally used as a name for girls.

In Akamba culture, children were historically given names with animal meanings if their mother's first pregnancy was a stillbirth. It was thought that these names promoted survival and kept the bad omens away from the child. Additionally, this saved the "good" names — typically those of grandparents — for later-born children, who were considered more likely to survive.
