Animal Names for Girls

A beautiful A-heavy choice with international appeal.

Fashion designer Liz Claiborne (born Anne Elizabeth Jane Claiborne) make this name a feminist option for girls. She was a pioneer in her field — Liz Claiborne was the first woman-owned company to make the Fortune 500 list. However, the company that shares her name no longer has the same panache it once did, which may deter some parents from using this otherwise inspiring name.

An unusual combination name which feels fresher than most, thanks to the up-and-coming vintage star Clara.

Nice sound, colorless image.

This name is connected to Ambelin Kwaymullina, an Indigenous Australian teen fiction author. Ambelin could be a nice alternative to Amber or Ember, if you can get past the fact it sounds very similar to Anne Boleyn.

Pronounced Beshette, this unfamiliar French appellation sounds fresh and feminine.

Georgian diminutive of Ana

Dosia is rare but not foreign, especially since the antiquated name Theodosia was highlighted in the play Hamilton.
