Names Ending in E for Girls

One of the group of French 'ette'-ending names that emigrated to this country in the last century, though never as popular as some others, such as Claudette and Paulette--it did have a little six-year flurry here between 1967 and 1973. Josette may be feminine and flirty, but, given the choice, most parents today would prefer Josephine.

Mary was such a common name for so long that it sprouted a whole family of chimeric name splices: Maryann, Marybeth, Mary-Lousie, ad infinitum. Spiderman's Mary Jane Watson, the closed toe shoe with a strap, and the common nickname for marijuana have helped keep this one especially familiar to the American ear.

 Smooshing these two names into one gives it several possible meanings, including: "beloved God is gracious"; "drop of the sea of God's grace"; "God is beloved and gracious"; "God is forgiving towards bitterness"; or some other interpretation or blending of the two meanings.

Maryjane

Renlee is a modern feminine name that combines elements of traditional names with contemporary styling. Likely a creative blend of the prefix 'Ren' (found in names like Renee, meaning 'reborn') and the popular suffix 'lee' (meaning 'meadow' or 'clearing' in Old English), this name represents the trend of combining name elements to create something unique. Renlee has a fresh, youthful sound that appeals to parents seeking modern alternatives to classic names. Rising in usage during the early 21st century, it fits alongside other combined names like Kaylee and Brynlee. Though still relatively uncommon, Renlee offers a balance between uniqueness and accessibility, with a rhythmic two-syllable pattern that's easy to pronounce and remember.

With the advent of Pope Francis, all forms of this ancient and saintly name came up for a fresh look. Along with most other -een and -ine (when pronounced like -een) names for girls, Francine has a dated midcentury Mad Men feel. But its choice for their daughter by modern glamour couple Casey Neistat and Candice Pool, respectively a video star and a jewelry designer, has made Francine chic again.
 Francine was most popular in her native habitat in the 1940's, while in the U.S. she hit her peak in 1950 at Number 224. A contemporary bearer is writer Francine Prose and comic actress Fran Drescher was born Francine. There are also Francines in two animated TV series: Arthur and American Dad.

In Norse mythology, the valkyries decided the fate of men in battle and conveyed the spirits of the fallen to Valhalla, to dwell with the god Odin. Often associated with ravens, swans, and horses, over time the valkyries have been portrayed as strong, female figures, callous and monstrous creatures, and sometimes both at the same time.
 
 Derived from Old Norse, Valkyrie is comprised of the word valr, used to describe those slain in battle, and kjósa meaning "to choose", which come together to reflect their role in guiding dead warriors. 
 
As a given name, Valkyrie is a new consideration that only began to appear in in the US data in the early 90s, following the release of Paulo Coelho's novel, The Valkyries. It was quietly used until 2016 when the Marvel Franchise confirmed the casting for movie Thor Ragnarok in which Tessa Thompson stars as Valkyrie. 
 
Since then, the name has nearly tripled in use with around 150 girls receiving the name in 2022, making it a bold but increasingly familiar choice, that currently ranks similarly in the US to Nelly, Storm, Tabitha, and Yael. 
 
If Valkyrie does interest you, you could also consider looking at the given names of the valkyries in various manuscripts of Norse mythology, such as Brynhildr, Eir, 
Herja, Mist, and Sigrún.
