6 Letter Girl Names

Dharvi

Dillan as a feminine name represents a gender-crossing trend where traditionally male names are adopted for girls, often with modified spellings. Originally an Irish surname derived from 'Diolún,' meaning 'faithful' or 'loyal,' Dillan is more commonly used for boys (usually spelled Dylan). The feminine usage gained modest traction in the 1990s and 2000s as gender boundaries in naming became more fluid. Parents choosing Dillan for a daughter might appreciate its strong sound combined with its lesser use for girls, creating a distinctive identity. The name carries connotations of faithfulness and determination while maintaining a contemporary feel. Though uncommon for girls, it fits alongside other surname-style names that have crossed gender lines.

The word name Heiress became a stylish choice after Clifford "T.I." and Tameka "Tiny" Harris gave it to their daughter in 2016 and at its peak in 2019, 95 American girls were called Heiress in a single year. Like most trending names, however, Heiress has been succeeded by a spelling variant, which entered the US stats in 2017. Eiress, without the silent H, Eiress was chosen for 17 girls in a recent year and might appeal as a more name-y looking option.

Elanni is a feminine name with a modern, melodic quality. This contemporary creation likely draws inspiration from popular elements like the 'El-' prefix (found in names such as Eliana and Elena) combined with the fashionable '-anni' ending. The name has a flowing, rhythmic sound that feels both familiar and distinctive. While Elanni doesn't have ancient historical roots, it exemplifies the trend toward creating unique names that maintain conventional pronunciation patterns. The name projects a sense of elegance and femininity while offering the appeal of rarity. Elanni would likely be easily pronounced across cultures despite its uncommon status, making it accessible while still allowing a child to stand out.

Emilya is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Emilia or Amelia. It has Latin roots derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, meaning 'rival' or 'emulating.' The spelling with a 'y' gives the classic name a modern twist while maintaining its elegant sound. While less common than the traditional spellings, Emilya has gained some popularity among parents seeking distinctive alternatives to popular classics. The name conveys a sense of timeless beauty with a contemporary edge. Emilya shares the same distinguished history as its variants, connected to notable bearers throughout literature and history, while the unique spelling helps distinguish it from more common versions.

One Fergie was an aberration. But two women with that nickname -- the duchess and the Black Eyed Pea -- might make a trend. 

Fergie

Florence, Flora, and a whole plethora of botanical names are in style at the moment, but simple Flower remains rare. Perhaps it's the association with the little skunk in Bambi, or because it rhymes with flour used for cooking, but with Clover and Meadow in the charts, perhaps Flower might be one to reconsider.
 
While we'd suggest going for a single bloom, with rarer options being Amaryllis, Bluebell, and Tansy, Flower does have a charming, hippie, and free-spirited feel. Plus, only six girls were given the name in a recent year, making it even rarer than Sunflower (chosen for 11).
 
Flower was borne by a memorable meerkat, leader of the Whiskers clan in the documentary, Meerkat Manor, while fictional Flowers include the aforementioned Disney skunk, along with a character in the 1914 book Flower o' the Pine by Ethel Turner.
