Girl names that don't end in "a"

azcobride

Nearly all the girl names we like end in "a" (Maya, Lydia, Kayla, etc). However, so does my name which means it won't flow well as a middle name. 

I'd like to perhaps get some new ideas on a girl first name. What is your favorite girl name that doesn't end in "a"?

Madelyn, obviously. :-)

I also like Charlotte, Grace, and Elizabeth.

It is really hard to find girl names in Spanish that don't end with an "a." When we were tossing around possibilities for DD's middle name, I found that I liked two categories of non-"a"-ending names: nature names and names referring to appearances of the Virgin Mary. We ended up with one from the latter- Caridad. Some of the others:

Nature- Flor, Sol, Luz

Mary-ish: Lourdes, Nieves, Pilar, Belen, Carmen, Rosario

There are also a lot of lovely French names that don't end in an "a"- Mireille, Delphine, Lisette...

Same in Polish.

Actually, my fn and mn both end with "a" and they flow really well together.  I like Kamila, Mariela, Simona, Klara, Aleksandra. Sorry, can't help you.

Is your son's name Polish? My son has a traditional Polish boys name- Marek. We love it! I still love all our original girl names so maybe we'll just have to have that double "a" sound for first and middle if we have a girl.

Thanks everyone for all the really great suggestions! I still love all our original names on the list but perhaps now I have a few more ideas to add to it.
