Five Letter Girl Names

Bětka is a Czech nickname for Alžběta, the Czech and Slovak variation of Elizabeth.

Ashley lost some of her substance.

One of many variant spellings of the biblical Adah, the mother of Jubal and Jabal.

Paddy is generally a nickname for the male Patrick, and not one used very often any more due to its derogatory connotations. But plausibly this could be a short form for Patricia.

McKay is the Anglicized form of Mac Aodha, meaning "son of Aodh" in Gaelic. Aodh is the origin of names such as Aidan and Hugh, making McKay a subtle way to honor people with those names.

Alternatively, the name might be a variation of Mckayla, Michaela, and similar, making it a form of Michael, or, it could be translated as "song of Kay".

It may look almost identical to the Greek/Slavic name Xenia, but Xènia has different origins as Catalan diminutive of Eugènia. It may be liable to misspelling and pronunciation elsewhere, but we love that it's an ancient name that looks and sounds cool and modern.

Fionn is the Irish form of the name modernized as Finn, but popular in this form in Ireland, where it's in the boys' Top 20. A couple dozen baby boys in the US were named Fionn last year and no baby girls, though there were girls named Finn, Fionna, and Fionnuala, so Fionn may be thought of as a variation or short form of those names.
