Five Letter Girl Names

Last moment of glory was in the Janis Joplin sixties.

One of the fastest-rising boy names on 2022 thanks to the release of rapper Kevin Gates' album "Khaza" — named after his son of the same name — that year. Khaza was given to a handful of baby girls as well.

And her sisters, Stormy and Sunny.

Auria is a highly unusual choice with a pleasant aura. As cousin names Aurelia and Aurora become more prominent, as we predict they will in coming years, Auria will get some attention too.

This was the old name for ancient Armenia, land of canyons.

Cymricized version of the English flower/rainbow/goddess name Iris.

Cute and unusual as a nickname, but lacking the legs to stand on its own.

Dolce is the Italian word for "sweet," derived from the Latin word dulcis of the same meaning. It's a rare feminine first name in Italy, more often seen as a surname, as in that of Domenico Dolce, co-founder of fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. The luxury fashion brand has inspired a number of baby girls to be given the name since D&G's launch in 1985.

Sweet and endearing, à la Mignon and Manon.

Leyre is an important name in Navarre, Spain, as it is both the name of a mountain and an ancient monastery. It is derived from the Basque Leire, of uncertain origins. Both spellings currently rank among the Top 100 baby names in Spain.

Female form of Syed.

This Arabic name, which can be used for either boys or girls, can also mean "wide-eyed" in the sense of someone who is studious and perceptive. Ayaan is most familiar to people in the West from its connection to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali women's right activist.

Fashionable choice in modern Israel, also a place-name there, not likely to succeed here.

Edris was used occasionally for baby girl 100 years ago, but one can't help but wonder whether those girls might really have been named Edie but with bad handwriting. Edrie is cute, though, and unusual.
