Can anyone think of any? My daughter’s name begins with Y but it’s impossible to get anything with her initial on? Are there any popular Y names?

Yasmin and Yvonne

IsobelRae23 · 20/07/2019 12:56

Yana, Yvette, Yvonne, Yasmine, Yasmin

That’s all I can think of....

Yolande.

But no, I don't think there are any very popular names beginning with y.

BelulahBlanca · 20/07/2019 12:59

I think Yasmin and variations is the only one I would consider popular.

Not sure about popular, but Yvonne, Yvette, Yasmin, Yolanda and Ysenda are all that come to mind for girls.

Yves is the only boy name I can think of.

Yorick! Not popular these days, but in days of yore...

EvilHerbivore · 20/07/2019 13:07

Sure Isabel(la) can be spelt with a Y?

AhhhHereItGoes · 20/07/2019 13:10

Yvonne
Yolanda
Yasmin

Barbarafromblackpool · 20/07/2019 13:20

Yunah. Think it rhymes with Luna.

PolkaDotHoneyPot · 20/07/2019 13:45

Yvaine! Not popular but beautiful!

BethanyGilbert · 20/07/2019 14:03

Yvie!

Millimollimandi · 20/07/2019 14:08

Yootha (showing my age) Smile

Ellmau · 20/07/2019 17:41

Yseult

Tadpoletofrog · 20/07/2019 17:42

Yvette

Ellmau · 20/07/2019 17:42

Or if Russian:
Yulia
Yelena
Yekaterina
Yelizaveta

I like Yann or Yannick for a boy. Yasmine or Yasmina for a girl.

We were watching the athletics on TV tis afternoon, and there was a woman called Yarisley.

I think the Hebrew/Israeli version of a lot of names often spelt with a J in English has a Y, so:
Yael (for Jael) - I quite like this
Yudit (for Judith)
