Three Syllable Girl Names

The name of a pretty white flower with star-shaped flowers makes for a very on-trend celestial and nature name for a baby girl.

Although the best-known Kehinde is the male painter Kehinde Wiley, this name is used for both genders in its native Nigeria and can be just as attractive for a girl.

A cool and breezy nature name with a stylish sound, used by Volkswagen for one of its cars.

With the melodic Leilani in the US Top 100, and gaining traction across the pond in the UK too, alternative spellings have naturally come into use.

Leylani currently lags slightly behind, but is nevertheless becoming increasingly familiar, particularly among Spanish speakers.

Rhythmic, tangoish name quite popular in Spanish-speaking cultures.
