Six Letter Girl Names

This lovely Umbrian hill town became a striking first name for the young daughter of Jade Jagger.

Stronger and more contemporary twist on Carla or Carly, Carlin was used just about equally for girls and boys in the US last year.

With its upbeat Slavic/Scandinavian air, it has the most potential of all the Jan names.

You occasionally see the German and Danish word for "summer" pop up as a first name -- 16 girls were given it in 2016 -- and that trend may continue, now that the original has risen to Number 202 on the American popularity list.

Better go to the original Aurelia or Aurelie, if only for its similarity to the ord 'orally.' In pop culture, Oralie is a Pokemon name.

Once-popular boys' name works better now for girls, as a kind of Dara/Karen blend.

Camira is one of those rare names that feels at once familiar and unique. A handful of baby girls were named Camira in the US last year.

Currently more popular among baby girls than boys — perhaps due to the association with Irish folksong "Molly Malone."

Mellie is not Millie and it's not Nellie, though it will forever be confused with those too more familiar nicknames. It's cute, too, and while some of the names it's usually short for may be sailing into the sunset (so long, Melody!), others like Amelia are rising through the ranks and may give Mellie a new chance to shine as a cute girls' nickname. Just be prepared for endless confusion.

A distinctive name, originally male, that could be an updated tribute to Grandma Marian.

This is a name used as a pseudonym by Celia in Shakespeare's As You Like It to conceal her real identity. It was later seen as a character in the Ken Follett novel Pillars of the Earth. Can also be spelled Alienna, taking it further away from the alien connection.

With Natalie and Natalia in the US Top 100, it is not a surprise for spelling variations to gain popularity. Nataly was given to nearly 300 baby girls in 2023 and was one of the fastest-rising girl names that year.

An authentic choice for your little Irish Rose, chosen by singer Sinead O'Connor for her daughter.

You say Bryn, he says Bryana -- here's a name you might agree on.

In addition to being the appellation of an ancient grain goddess, this name was also borne by two mythic Irish figures, one of whom was betrothed to legendary chieftain Finn MacCool, the other the brave sixteenth century pirate Grainne Ni Mhaille— known in English as Grace O'Malley-- whose name passed into poetry as a symbol of Ireland.

Resonant and unusual.
