Addison has been a wildly popular surname name, mostly for girls, for a few decades now, and Addisyn is one of its many spelling variations.

Addisyn

This Amy/Mia combination debuted on the US Top 1000 in 2013. It could also be seen as a variant of Amaya.

Amia

Though it relates to the Irish original, Ashlyn and its next most popular form, Ashlynn, owe more of their popularity as baby names in the US to the megastar Ashley, though all three have been dropping on the charts lately.

Ashlyn

That i adds some extra spunk to mega popular Avery. It also adds some pronunciation confusion (as it could be pronounced AV-er-ee or AV-er-eye). We suggest sticking with the original Avery.

Averi

This extra-N variation is hot on the tails of mega popular Brooklyn and takes it a bit further from the New York borough.

Both spellings are off their highs of around 2010, but Brooklyn is holding up better -- not surprisingly, as original names usually have more staying power than the variations they inspire.

While the popularity of the name Brooklyn is often credited to its choice by Victoria and David Beckham for their first (now married) son, the name is overwhelmingly more popular for girls than for boys. Brooklyn was used for about 3200 baby girls and only 57 baby boys last year, while the Brooklynn version was used only for girls, given to 874 baby girls in the US.

Brooklynn

Combining popular names Brynn and Ryleigh produced a new name that has ranked in the Top 1000 since 2010, never surpassing the top mark set at Number 841 in 2013. Trendiness personified.
 Alternate spelling Brylee has fared a little better, peaking at Number 408 in 2012.

Bryleigh

While the Cailin spelling doesn't appear on popularity charts, other forms such as Kaylin and Kaylen do, along with several similar names, from Caitlin to Jalen to Kayla. The result: a name that feels more common than it actually is. 

Cailin

Janae

It's far cooler to drop the first syllable and go for Elle.

Jaylee

K-beginnings are often substituted for Cs, and this spelling is definitely finding favor with many parents, among them skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. However, sometimes the original is the best - we suggest sticking to the still unusual Cadence.

Kadence

A widely used name, Kaylee pulls together something from Kayla and something from Hailey, yet somehow loses something in the process. It has surpassed cousin Kayla on the charts and is one of three <a href="https://nameberry.com/search/girls-names/k">girls' names starting with K</a>that ranks in the US Top 100.

Kaylee

Adding an extra 'R' to Kiera makes it rhyme with the fashionable Sierra. Kierra is a more distinctive choice than Kiera, Keira, or Kyra, all similarly pronounced, but there may be some pronunciation confusion.

Kierra

This diminutive of Kimberley is gaining momentum as a standalone name. For our part, we're stumped by its rise.

Kimber

Maeby sprang into the modern consciousness via the cult TV favorite Arrested Development, in which the appealing teen character Maeby's name is a nickname for Mae. It's also a homonym for Maybe, which undercuts its inherent cuteness. Is Maeby prime for a real life baby name? Sorry, but we can't resist: Maybe.

Maeby

One-time overnight success name, thanks to Hannah Montana actress and singer Miley Cyrus, Miley fell just as quickly from her peak of Number 127 in 2008 as the star entered her rebellious era. Now Miley seems to be on a comeback — both the artist and the name — as Miley rose over 250 places in 2023.

 

For Miley Cyrus, Miley was a childhood nickname (because she was so smiley); Destiny was her given name, although she legally changed it to Miley in 2008.

Miley

Shevonne is proof that a name can be pretty and tacky at the same time. 

Shevonne

As modern "smoosh" names go, Starlynn is not bad. Over the past two years nearly 40 American girls have been given this name. There may be some confusion with the name Starling (a type of bird), but that shouldn't be too difficult to overcome. Beware, however, its similarity in sound to Russian dictator, Stalin.

Starlynn

I'm sure the parents of the six little girls named Sundae in the US last year were thinking, "well, if Nicole Kidman can use Sunday..." In this case, we think the day of the week spelling is preferable to the dessert spelling.

Sundae

With Wren gaining a lot of popularity recently, it's not surprising to see variants already popping up. Wrenley, which jumps on the Wren bandwagon and adds the trendy "ley" suffix for good measure, was given to thirteen baby girls in the USA in 2014; we haven't seen it pop up anywhere else yet, but we think it's only a matter of time.
