21 Adorable Baby Girl Names That End in ‘Y’

The name Everly, which means "from the boar meadow," is a relatively new name in the world of babies. The name comes from a surname way back in Old English, but over the past decade, it’s really jumped in popularity. Which makes total sense — it’s adorable.

For a lot of us, we probably hear the name Felicity and go right to that TV show featuring a young woman going off on her own to college. But even if that show isn’t your jam, the name is one that sounds more old-school, but that’s what makes it such an adorable choice.

Whitney is probably not a name that comes first to mind when thinking about baby girl names that end in "y," and that’s all the reason to love it more. The name has been around for a very long time, with several different ways to spell it.

The name Hadley is a newer name and certainly hasn’t reached the status of classic yet, but that’s a large reason why it’s such a good option. We love that it sounds more gender-neutral and could fit so many cute personalities. The name sits just outside the top 100 in the US, though.

There is something that’s extra adorable when we take a traditionally “boys only” name and breathe new life into it by ignoring those gender confines. Which is exactly why we love the name Andy for a little girl. It’s short, sweet, strong, and ends in that "y" everyone seems to love!

With one of the more common names on the list, Ivy has all the makings of a popular girl name including having only a few letters and a lot of vowels, if we include the letter "y." The name is a nod to the pretty evergreen climbing vine.

Finley is everything a parent expecting a little bun could ask for. The name is gender-neutral and works whether parents want a traditionally masculine or traditionally feminine name. It has a lot of nicknames to choose from and comes with the supercool meaning of "fair-haired warrior."

If the name Arely is a new one to you, that’s understandable — it’s not a very common name. That’s why we love it, because it has the classic adorable -y ending and that extra-special sprinkle of being really unique.

A lot of us know Kennedy as a last name, but it’s also a great option for any gender. The name has been used for a long time as a first name, going back to Ireland, and it means “armored.”

Yes, it’s an untraditional name, but that’s what makes Journey a wonderful option that some parents should strongly consider. The moniker can be a nod to a personal journey the parents went through to come to parenthood, or it could genuinely just be a name that was heard in passing and just fit.

Trinity saw a big jump in name popularity when the Matrix movie franchise came out. And that’s a good example how not all names ending in this letter have to be sweet and frilly. There were loads of parents inspired by the boss character who opted for this name.

There are only a few baby girl names that are really versatile, and Mary is one of them. While that name alone fits the bill for a "y"-ending baby name, it’s more fun to be able to match it up with another name, like Rosemary.

Mallory is one of those names we hear, then think to ourselves that it’s beautiful. But we still don’t hear it too often. This "y"-ending name is a great mix of that adorable sweetness, but we can also see someone running their own company and holding down the fort with the name.

If finding a more playful and less traditional name is on the list, but you still want to have that last letter be a "y", Shay is perfect! It’s a nontraditional name to begin with, but it’s also gender-neutral, which means it’ll fit so many personalities and it works with so many middle names.

Cassidy comes from a traditional surname in Ireland, O'Caiside, and it’s not really known what that name means. Cassidy as a name for a girl shot up in the early 1970s, and although it’s not been in the top 20 list, it’s always ridden the line between sweet and unique.

There are some parents who really love names that have been around for a long time. These classic names are tried and true, and Nancy certainly fits that bill. The name began as a nickname for Anne, believe it or not.

Ridley is a name that, essentially, wasn’t used in the United States until the 2000s. And since then it’s jumped up the ranks, but is still nowhere near the popular name charts. This name is lovely and moves away from some of the more traditionally cutesy girl names.

Cecily is a name that’s been around for a really long time, yet we still don’t hear it a whole lot. The name is both adorable and grown-up, which makes it perfect for parents who want something that really sings to them.

Mahogany is a name that most of us attribute to wood, a really dark, beautiful, expensive wood. And that’s where the inspiration comes from for this baby girl name. It’s a great choice for someone who likes names that stand out from the crowd.

Whether you go with Brenley or Brinley, both are adorable options if finding a name that ends in “y” is on your must list. Both names don’t have a long history, and the origin isn’t as clear as some of the more classic names, but some say it’s a derivative of Brenda.

Hartley is a beautiful name that works well for any gender and it’s unique enough to stand out in all the best ways. There are several different ways the spelling can be done for Hartley, so parents can put their own little spin on it.
