100+ Best Girl Names Ending in a Vowel

Updated Sat Aug 03 2024

Girl names ending in a vowel have held strong throughout history, and today's baby naming world is no exception.

In 2023, 69 of the US Top 100 girl names ended with a vowel sound — 43 ending in the "ah" sound, 25 ending in the "ee" sound, and 1 ending in the "oh" sound.

Of course there are more distinct and unique vowel endings if you look beyond those top names, such as Esme and Faye, Skye and Lorelei.

Girl names new to the Top 1000 last year included Adhara, Seraphina, Ayah, Eleanora, Kimora, Ruthie and Azari.

And cool vowel-ending girl names popular with Nameberry visitors include Daphne, Elodie, Aurelia, Mae, Freya, Ophelia, Esme, Cordelia and Thea – all among the Top 50 most viewed girl names on our site.

While historically girl names ending with A have been the most prevalent on the charts, more parents are looking for fresh vowel ending sounds with some notable celebrity parents leading the way.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen named their daughter Esti in 2023, Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott chose the name Halo for their daughter in 2022, and other recent celebrity baby girls have been named Rio, Novie, Shai, Mavie, Bambi, Echo, and Leni.

Read on for our pick of the 100 best girl names that end in a vowel, plus links to our full lists of names ending in each letter.

Girl Names Ending in A

The tried and true -a ending has never and will never fall out of style. Girl names ending in A are feminine, classy, and flow perfectly with most surnames.

In 2023, eight of the US Top 10 girl names featured this ending — Olivia, Emma, Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Isabella, Ava, and Luna.

Further down the charts are whimsical and romantic choices like Dahlia, Tallulah, Violeta, Galilea, and Luella, as well as sweet and spunky Greta, Zora, Veda, Ezra, and Nola.

Unique girl names ending in A include vintage revivals such as Winona, Etta, Ramona, and Cordelia, and international picks Adhara, Noa, Solana, and Inaya.

Girl Names Ending in E

Girl names ending in E (especially ending in -ie) have had their fair share of love throughout history as well.

Nicknames as full names such as Ellie, Sadie, and Millie are back and as stylish as ever. If you like this cutesy sound, try unique alternatives like Birdie, Lettie, Mamie, and Sylvie.

Greek girl names also often feature this distinct E ending, from the more familiar Zoe, Penelope, and Daphne to offbeat choices like Calliope, Xanthe, and Evadne.

Below, our selection of the best girl names ending in E.

Girl Names Ending in I

While girl names ending in -ie have a sweet, classic charm, girl names ending in "just -i" feel modern and full of energy.

The top girl name ending in -i in 2023 was Naomi at Number 44.

One of the hottest variety of names in this category are the wave of Hawaiian girl names sweeping over the charts, such as Leilani, Kailani, and Alani.

"Traveling lite" names — short and sweet names ending in -i — have been climbing fast as well, such as Remi, Esti, Lumi, and Zuri.

This impact of this trendy ending can be seen amongst many of the the fastest-rising girl names from 2023. Kaeli rose a whopping 1,692 spots from 2022 to 2023, and other notable risers were Azari, Avani, Aylani, Araceli, Jaylani, Anahi, and Meilani.

Girl Names Ending in O

Not the biggest, but one of the hottest categories today is girl names ending in O.

Following a wave of uber-cool O-ending boy names like Theo, Arlo, Mateo, and Nico that are quickly filling the boy charts, more parents are looking for this fresh sound for girls as well.

From classical Juno and Cleo to unisex Indigo and Rio, these names range in style but each pack a solid punch.

There are also of course a lovely array of girl names ending in -ow, -owe, -oe, -ot, and even -aux that share this lively sound.

Unique o-ending girl names that may catch your fancy include Callisto and Allegro, Winslow and Monroe, Lilo and Coco.

Girl Names Ending in U

While girl names ending in U may be few and far between, this distinct sound tends to pack the perfect punch.

We love French diminutives like Lilou, Bijou, and Milou, as well as mini names Lulu and Zuzu.

Speaking of mini, there are a handful of spunky one-syllable names that end with the "-oo" sound, such as True, Lou, Drew, and Rue.

And influencer Trisha Paytas recently chose the glamorous place-name Malibu for her daughter.
