  • This variation brings a softer, more flowing quality to a strong classic. The addition of the 'h' at the end creates a breathier, more feminine finish while maintaining the name's core strength and dignity. It has an elegant, almost musical quality when spoken, with the vowel-heavy composition creating a gentle rhythm. The name feels international and sophisticated, working well across different cultures and languages without pronunciation difficulties. It suggests grace and poise while avoiding any sense of fragility or excessive delicacy. The three-syllable structure provides good balance, substantial enough to command respect while remaining approachable and friendly. It's less common than some variations, offering a degree of uniqueness without venturing into unfamiliar territory. Parents who choose this spelling often appreciate subtle distinctiveness, wanting their daughter to have something special without being too unconventional. It's a name that will serve well from childhood through professional life, never feeling out of place or inappropriate for any age.
