Names Ending in F for Girls

Madelief is an <a href="https://nameberry.com/baby-name-lists/category/unusual-names">uncommon name</a> but not unheard of  in the Netherlands, where 123 girls were called Madelief in one recent year. With its soft sounds and similarities to all those "Madeleine" type names as well as names ending in "eef/eev" sounds (Aoife, Eve, Genevieve), Madelief has potential in English-speaking countries to be a fresh and pleasant change from Daisy,  Margaret and Madeleine.

Madelief

Notable Wolfs like Blitzer, Mankowitz, and Kahn give this name a masculine bent, but nature names are inherently unisex, so we see no reason why Wolf can't be used on a baby girl. <p>Historically Wolf has been more common among German (where it's pronounced Vulf) and Jewish families, occasionally as a nickname for Wolfgang. <p>The nickname Wolfie softens and feminizes Wolf, while Wolfe turns it into a surname.
