Six Letter Girl Names

In the Middle Ages, Margaret became Margery, Cecilia became Cecily, and Amabel became Mabel ... and Mabely. Chaucer mentions the name briefly in The Canterbury Tales. It's rare - and maybe a shade too close to cosmetics company - Maybelline - but has some potential appeal for parents after something like Emily and Avery, but much less common.

This popular Lithuanian girl name is a title of the goddess of the evening star, Vakarinė, and derives from a word meaning evening or night.

The relationship to "ill" makes this and similar names less pleasing than the versions that start with A or E.
