Mali
Welsh form of Molly or Thai
"jasmine flower"
Seems unfamiliar, till you realize everyone will just hear it as Molly. In Wales, Mali is a Top 100 name.

English word name

Bidu
Diminutive of Bridget
"strength, power"
Uncommon choice too reminiscent of "bidet". Try Bridie instead.

Gene
Short form of Eugenia, feminine of Eugene, Greek

Jean is primed to rise again – particularly in the middle slot. So could Gene follow suit? This spelling is still more commonly a male name, short for Eugene or given as a standalone, but it works as…
Gena
Variation of Gina
Actress Gena Rowlands publicized this name, which she pronounces with a soft e.
Inah
Variation of Ina, Latin suffix
This slight suffix is made a little bit broader by tacking on an H at the end, but we still prefer the original.
