[name]Hi[/name],
I"m looking for names that are traditionally spelled with a y in them. I’m not looking for names that end in y. I’m thinking of names like [name]Beryl[/name] or [name]Gladys[/name] not [name]Emersyn[/name]. They do not have to be older names (i think of [name]Gladys[/name] as an older name) but it’s one of the few I could think of.
Thanks,
Dancingwithdad
Are you looking for girls’ and boys’ names? [name]How[/name] about [name]Blythe[/name] or [name]Elyse[/name] for a girl; and [name]Kyle[/name], [name]Wyatt[/name] or [name]Ryan[/name] for a boy?
In [name]France[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] is traditionally spelled with a Y so it’s [name]Myriam[/name], I don’t know if that’s what you’re intersted in but I like it

Penguin’s list is great. All I can think of to add are Russian names like [name]Marya[/name], [name]Nadya[/name] and [name]Katya[/name]. Or combos liek [name]Maryanne[/name], etc.

Anything with a -lyn ending would work, but that’s quite a common trend at the minute, names like [name]Evelyn[/name].
Thanks everyone! [name]Elyse[/name] is one of my faves. I also like [name]Myriam[/name] (but since it’s not the way most spell it where I’m from it kinda looks like one of the new unique spellings and I’m trying to avoid that).
Girls:
[name]Yvonne[/name]
[name]Yseult[/name]
[name]Tamsyn[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]

[name]Lyric[/name]
[name]Huxley[/name]
[name]Huckleberry[/name]
[name]Yael[/name] is a favourite of mine.
I do like [name]Blythe[/name].
[name]Ysabel[/name] is pretty, but likely to confuse people. I’m fond of [name]Katya[/name] and [name]Yekaterina[/name] but [name]Katya[/name] is by far the easy one to deal with there. [name]Zephyrine[/name] I like for a girl but I don’t actually like [name]Zephyr[/name] for a boy, there are too many speedboats and similar things named [name]Zephyr[/name] for me.
For boys I like [name]Yehuda[/name], Yonatan, [name]Cyrus[/name], and [name]Nehemyah[/name], can’t think of many others right now.
I don’t know if I’m repeating names but
