  • Sleek, sophisticated, and deceptively simple, this two-syllable gem packs remarkable elegance into minimal space. It belongs to that rare category of names that feel simultaneously vintage Hollywood and thoroughly modern, classic without being old-fashioned. The symmetry of its structure provides aesthetic satisfaction while its brevity ensures it never becomes cumbersome in daily use. This name photographs beautifully, sounds magnificent when called across a playground or announced at a graduation ceremony, and looks professional on business cards and academic publications. It carries an international quality, easily pronounced across multiple languages and cultures, making it ideal for families with global connections or aspirations. The name suggests someone poised, confident, and comfortable in her own skin—qualities worth encouraging from the very beginning.
