Amilyn

Amilyn is one of those names that sounds and feels a lot like other more popular names, from Emmeline to Amelia to Adeline, but was given to fewer than five baby girls in the US in 2021. This is despite the Star Wars character Amilyn Holdo -- General Leia's deputy in the most recent trilogy, played by Laura Dern. Seven baby girls were given the name in 2018, but it has not seen the lasting success of Kylo or Rey (or indeed Leia).

Pronounced AM-ih-lin.

As of October 2026, Amilyn ranked #12564 in US births in 2018 SSA, peaked at #11872 in 1988.
