Animal Names for Girls

One of several trendy boys' names now being adopted for girls with feminized spellings.

Dairin, or Dáirín, is a female version of Dáire, and the origin of Doreen. In fact, it sounds almost the same, but the spelling freshens it up for 21st-century tastes.

The name Auliʻi entered the mainland American eye through the Hawaiian actress Auliʻi Cravalho who voiced the featured Disney Princess in the film Moana. 'Auli'i is another legitimate spelling of this beautiful name.

A combination name and an English surname, Brynleigh has trendy sounds and two possible nature meanings. Less popular than its counterparts, Brinley and Brynlee, it is nevertheless still in the US Top 1000.

Aubriana, along with Aubrianna and Aubriella, is an elaboration of a perfectly-good if too-trendy name, Aubrey. The final anna or ana or ella does not improve on the original. But A names of all kinds continue to appeal.

Decker made the Top 1000 for boys in 2017 and 2018, but just missed it in the following years. Now Decker is given to a few dozen baby girls each year as well.

Debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2016.

Uncommon choice too reminiscent of "bidet". Try Bridie instead.
