Two Syllable Names for Girls

Monja is a name with two separate origins. From its Russian roots, it's an alternative form of Monya and Manya, both used diminutives of the classic Maria. In this case, it would mean "beloved", "drop of the sea", or "bitterness", due to Maria's uncertain etymology.
 
From its Slovene roots, however, Monja is a diminutive of Monika, likely meaning "advisor" or possibly "single, one", and while in Russia, it is used as a short form, in Slovenia, it may be used as a stand alone choice.
 
The name is also used in Germany, South Africa, and the Netherlands, again as a form of Monika, Mona, or Maria.

Bobbe is a feminine name that serves as a diminutive form of Barbara or Roberta. It originated as a nickname with the playful '-e' ending that was popular in the mid-20th century. The name Barbara comes from Greek roots meaning 'foreign' or 'strange,' while Roberta is derived from Germanic elements meaning 'bright fame.' Bobbe saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1930s-1950s but has become quite rare in contemporary usage. This short, friendly name has a vintage charm that reflects the naming trends of its heyday, when abbreviated forms with distinctive spellings were fashionable for girls.
