Pretty girls names that don't end in an e or a sound...

[TradedAtlanta]

I'm stuck. Our DD's name ends in a vowel sound and though I love her name, everywhere I go all I hear is more names that end in the same. So this time round I'm wanting to find a name that ends in a consonant sound but is equally pretty. Any ideas?

Niamh (don’t need to be Irish)

OP was replying to:

What’s “pretty” to you? Any examples of the e/a names you like to get an idea?

She's doesn't want any e/a names but showed the ones she liked so people could suggest other names that are similar but end in different sounds.

Wow what a swift response! I do like Imogen but have a cousin with this name. I also like Grace but DH not keen. Vowel ending names I like are things like Amelie, Lila, Ella, Nina.

I was like you with girls names. I liked Elizabeth, Catherine, Eleanor, Cerys and Imogen

Some of these are repeats of what others have posted, just take those as me seconding their suggestions! I assume you don't mind it ending in an 'e' as long as it's a consonant sound.

I would say most babies I know born recently ( and thats boys and girls ) here are all ie endings. I think the a endings are less popular.

Seem to all be Archie/ Freddie / Teddy / Ronnie

Ellie/ Lottie / Betty / Dottie /

I like Erin which has a Nina vibe I feel. Or a flower name like Primrose ?

Eloise is quite nice or Lois.

The thing is a or y names seem more grown up so harder to picture on a baby.

Thanks everyone - I notice some e and y names creeping in to suggestions . Niamh is gorgeous but I don't know whether it would be a bit of cultural appropriation as we have no Irish heritage.

I'm Irish. Believe me, we don't mind if you use the name Niamh

Do you not want names that don't end in e or just don't end in the e sound? .. Kate is a lovely name ending in e, but not an e sound.

Someone I know has had an Anneka. I thought that was quite sweet and a little different

Re: Niamh

I live in W Yorks. There were 5 Niamh/Neive/Neve s at nursery with DS 8-12 years ago. 3 of them are in his year at high school. I think it’s become pretty assimilated into English culture. Or at least it has in W Yorks!

I also know a child locally called Siobhan.

Thanks everyone! Yes to be clear I'm looking for something that doesn't end in the sounds -a, -ee, -y etc. The name ending in the letter -e (eg -elle, -enne etc) isn't an issue to me.

I really like Maeve. Do you think its a bit marmite? DH nonplussed by it.
