Six Letter Girl Names

Sounds a bit pharmaceutical.

An anti-virtue name if there ever was one. GIrl names ending in -ty (think Serenity, Royalty) are currently chic, but Vanity is best avoided.

The name Drasna was created for a Pokémon character. Her name was derived from the Latin botanical name dracaena, which in turn is from drakōn, the Greek word for "dragon." Fittingly, Drasna used Dragon-type Pokémon in battle.

Spelling variation of Meital.

Most common in Japan in the mid-20th century, but to Western ears it doesn't sound dated.

The feminine version of the common Welsh name Glyn became somewhat known in this country via the charming Welsh actress Glynis Johns. Variations include Glenys and Glynys. With other Welsh names--Gwyneth, Bronwyn, Bryn, Griffith--now on the American table, Glynis could make a distinctive tribute to an Uncle Glenn.

Credit, of course, to the artist for inventing this secretive pseudonym, but we actually have Hilary Duff to thank for Banksy as a baby name. Banksy is Duff's nickname for her daughter Banks, born in 2018. Banksy debuted on the charts in 2020, when it was used for seven baby girls.

Traditionally a masculine name in Russian and associated with several saints, Makari could also be inspired by the Greek word Μακάρι/Makári, meaning "I wish". Currently used predominantly on boys in the US, it is given to a handful of girls each year, possibly because of its similarity to other popular contemporary choices such as Amari and Kamari.

The name of Alexander the Great's half-sister, known for her prowess in martial exercises.

That extra a adds a world of grace to this name.

An Old Testament name traditionally used for boys, but with the potential to cross over on the tails of Ezra, Noah, James, and Micah in a wave of increasingly gender-neutral Biblical names. Examples of female Gideons in television include characters on shows such as The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. About a dozen baby girls were given the name Gideon in 2022.

Naming your baby Adoria is a little like naming her Love or Desire. It's a loving message, but perhaps a bit too loving.

This rare Biblical place name refers to a river bank in Jordan where Jacob wrestled with an angel and changed his name to Israel.

A cutesy short form of Jordan that's never been overly popular. With boyish nicknames for girls - a la Joey and Scottie - rising, Jordie may have her chance to shine.
