American Names for Girls

  1. Quadeisha
    • Origin:

      American, a combination of Qadira and Aisha
    • Description:

      Familiar-sounding hybrid name, made more unusual by virtue of the Q.
  2. Jaylene
    • Origin:

      Variation of Jayleen
    • Meaning:

      "pretty jaybird"
    • Description:

      Jaylene is one of those modern creations that could be seen as an attempt to be trendy yet retro at the same time. Part Jaylee, part Arlene, Jaylene could be an honor for a Jane or a James, a Helene, or a Darlene.
  3. Shevonne
    • Origin:

      American, phonetic spelling of Siobhan
    • Description:

      Shevonne is proof that a name can be pretty and tacky at the same time.
  4. Dashawna
    • Origin:

      American variation of Shawna
    • Description:

      One of many now-downscale names that begin with Da- or De-, a prefix that originally indicated patrimony.
  5. Raylan
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name
    • Description:

      Raylan may be on the rise as a baby name thanks to (male) TV lawman Raylan Givens, but the name is also occasionally used for girls: the statistical gender split is 15 to 1. The -lan ending might be thought of as Lynn-like, with Raylan an updated spin on such midcentury concoctions as Rae-Lynn.
  6. Frankie-jean
    • Origin:

      American name combination
    • Description:

      Funky, boyish, old-style combo name chosen for their daughter by hip couple Donna D'Ericco and Nikki Sixx.

      American variation of Caitlin or Kaylin
    • Description:

      While the Cailin spelling doesn't appear on popularity charts, other forms such as Kaylin and Kaylen do, along with several similar names, from Caitlin to Jalen to Kayla. The result: a name that feels more common than it actually is.
