Five Letter Girl Names

  1. Merie
    • Averi
      • Origin:

        Spelling variation of Avery
      • Description:

        That i adds some extra spunk to mega popular Avery. It also adds some pronunciation confusion (as it could be pronounced AV-er-ee or AV-er-eye). We suggest sticking with the original Avery.
    • Emori
      • Origin:

        Variation of Emory, German
      • Meaning:

        "industrious"
      • Description:

        This spelling variation of the already-fashionable Emery takes the name further from its Old Germanic origins in Emmerich. With its trendy -i ending, its distinctive o in the middle, and its visual similarities to rising stars like Azari, Imani, and Amari, Emori is now four times as popular is it was a decade ago.
    • Lylah
      • Origin:

        Variation of Leila or Lila
      • Description:

        Lylah could be seen as a variation of Delilah, Leila or Lila or (like Lyla) a female variation of Lyle. Either way, we think you're best going with one of those other names to avoid your daughter's name looking like alphabet soup.
    • Ellyn
      • Tirsa
        • Joann
          • Madel
            • Velva

                  Word name
                • Description:

                  We call Savvy a Modern Virtue Name, a contemporary version of the Puritan's Hope and Charity, extolling the virtue of shrewdness. And who doesn't want their daughter to grow up to be Savvy in the ways of the world? So far, this name has been used only for girls, perhaps because some parents remember the women's magazine called Savvy.
              • Theta
                • Origin:

                  Eighth letter of Greek Alphabet
