This alternative spelling gives the classic name a more phonetic and distinctive appearance. While Phyllis was quite popular in the United States during the first half of the 20th century, peaking in the 1930s, the Filis variation has always been much rarer. The name has a gentle, classical feel with its mythological connections and natural meaning, though both the standard and variant forms have significantly declined in usage in recent decades.

Ninita remains relatively uncommon, adding to its distinctive appeal.
