Six Letter Girl Names

Quincy may be unisex, but Quimby is decidedly feminine — at least according to the stats, it's never been used for boys. Perhaps it's because of Beverly Cleary's children's book heroine Ramona Quimby, or the queen-related meaning. In either case, Quimby is a quirky, unexpected choice for a daughter.

A Top 50 pick in its native Armenia, this pretty moon name would make for a sophisticated alternative to mega-popular Luna, or an unexpected route to Lucy (or Lusie).

Ranking in the Polish Top 200, Estera is a variation on the classic Esther. Possibly deriving from Ishtar, the Near Eastern Goddess of fertility, love, and war, or from Persian, to mean "star", Estera is also associated with the myrtle trees, via Hadassah, the Biblical Esther's original Hebrew name.

Sofia with several authentic Slavic bells and whistles.

The word name Heiress was given to around 50 baby girls each recent year, in line with other recent favorites like Legend and Legacy — Nick Cannon even has a son Zillion Heir. The alternative spelling Eiress was given to a handful of baby girls as well.

This soulful musical name was introduced to the lexicon by Glee actor Darren Criss, who named his daughter Bluesy Belle in 2022. It's a saucy choice that owes something to Beyoncé's Blue, and something to the retro nickname Susie. For the daughter of a musician, Bluesy is a rare yet accessible name.

Bulgarian diminutive of Anna, a pretty alternative to Amelia which may often be confused with the latter.

Popular in the 1940s and 50s, this strong-sounding name has since fallen out of style in Norway.

A lovely international version of the dated Karen, also spelled Karoun.

The popular Aiden has spawned a legion of offshoots used mostly for boys but sometimes for girls too: Brayden, Caden, Kayden, Zaiden and so on. While it is now predominantly used on boys, back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, it was used more equally on girls. In a recent count, the name has fallen out of favor, with only 14 girls receiving the name in 2023.
