Challenge - Names You Like That End In Consonants

[Foulbaubleofmansvani]

A lot of girl names end in vowels, but my favourites tend to end in consonants. So in order to celebrate these names, I’m challenging you to tell me your favourite girl names that end in consonant sounds!

The spelling doesn’t have to end in a consonant, so saying [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is your favorite name ending in S is fine here, but [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] ends in A in this case. You don’t have to chose names for each sound. If you want to, you can pick a few names for each sound, just try to prioritise.

Extra points if you have favorites for the more unusual ending sounds! Extra extra points if you have favourites for B, F, H, or something else that I missed.

ooh I love this thread! got me thinking as a nerd with a linguistics degree I’ll be doing mine based on the IPA sounds in [name_f]English[/name_f] I also speak a non-rhotic variety of [name_f]English[/name_f] so “r” will not be included in my list. I’m also including the “ng” sound under “g”, as I produce the “g” at the end in my dialect.
