Stylish Girl Names That End in Consonants

  1. Yamileth
    • Origin:

      Arabic
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful"
    • Description:

      This beautiful and fresh name has a timeless meaning. Its popular -eth ending ensures it sits well with traditional names like Judith and Elizabeth, while its uncommon Y beginning makes it a good choice for parents looking for unique baby names. We think this name is a pretty alternative to the tired Yasmin/Yasmeen and the minimalist Yara.
  2. Ursuline

      Diminutive of Ursula
    • Meaning:

      "little bear"

      Ursula, while beautiful, still carries a whiff of the Disney sea witch. Perhaps Ursuline smells a bit sweeter?
