E is such a popular letter to begin girls names with. There are seven of them in the top 100. There's a reason E names are so trendy, so many of them are gorgeous. So if you're over Emma and Eva (or even Eloise for that matter) take a look at this list of E names for girls, none of which are in the top 1000.
Early- This word name would be so sweet on a little girl, and it's a pretty way to honor an Earl.
Effie- Cute and spunky. She doesn't need Euphemia to be a full form, use Effie on her own.
Electra- Very electric (hah). This is the Greek version, but for a slightly softer form try the Italian Elettra.
Elke- I've adored Elke ever since Emily of
The Beetle Shack used it for her daughter. She's actually a form of Adelheid, which makes her a good choice if you need to honor a Heidi or Adele.
Elspeth- One of the most beautiful variations of Elizabeth. She's a great way to get to Elsie.
Eluned- A name you almost never hear. Perfect if you want a creative way to use the nickname Luna.
Emmanuelle- At first glance she seems like a little much, but she offers a wealth of nickname possibilities. Use Emma or Elle for something classic, or Manny or Nell for something less common.
Enid- Most people consider this an "ugly" name, but all I can think of is Enid Coleslaw from
Ghost World. And if she's not a worthy namesake then who is?
Eugenie- Sharing your name with a real life princess? That's something many little girls dream of. Plus Genie makes an unexpected retro-sounding nickname.
Eulalie- She's so charming and sweet, yet non-name-nerds haven't heard of her. I prefer just Eulalie, but if you need something a little more sugary sweet go with Eulalia.
*That's all for this week, as Friday is a holiday. Happy 4th of July everybody!*
