Names Ending in E for Girls

An "old-man" nickname for girls, Lennie could feel as fresh as Billie, Scottie, and Stevie — and if the 100 Year Rule is anything to go by, it may well be time for it to come back round, having been a US favorite in the early 20th-century. Cutesy but solid, it is sometimes used as a feminine form of Leonard, however, other sources include Eleanor, Ellen, Helen, Helena, Magdalena, Lennon, Lennox, and Gwendolen. 
 
If Lennie feels too Of Mice and Men for you, there's the pan-European Leni to consider too — identical in sound but lighter and fresher in appearance. In fact, it's a charting option in Austria, Germany, and England and Wales.
 
Lennie ranked just outside the England and Wales Top 1000 in a recent year, given to 27 girls (making it as popular as Cerys, Dotty, Marceline, and Saffron in the same year), while in the US it was chosen for 69 girls — the largest number of female Lennies born in a single year since the 1920s.

Lennie

A quaint and quirky flower name, until recently considered a bit too prim for most American classrooms but brought back to life in recent years by the attractive character of Primrose "Prim" Everdeen in the Hunger Games series. In the Top 300 girl names in England and Wales and on Nameberry, Primrose remains rare in the US, but is made more accessible by a raft of sweet nickname options, including Rosie and Posy.

 The flower name Primrose derives from Latin prima rosa, meaning "first rose", since primrose flowers are among the first to appear in early spring, heralding the coming of better weather. Primrose also has an alternative history as a Scottish surname deriving from the place name Penrhos, from the Welsh words pren "tree" and rhos "moor." The spelling was later altered due to association with the flower.

 In the H. E. Bates book and 90's British TV series, The Darling Buds of May, there is a character named Primrose Violet Anemone Iris Magnolia Narcissa Larkin, who has twin sisters named Zinnia and Petunia.

The name of this historic European city is more distinct than Paris and London but sounds similar enough to the rising Romy and well-established Ramona and Rosemary that it doesn't feel totally out there.

While it is therefore nine times more popular as a masculine name, it has plenty of unisex potential.
 
Heavily associated with the Italian city, Rome may have several possible meanings thanks to the obscure etymology of the Eternal City's name.
