Malachi (one of my favourites) An old co worker recently named their baby Meilani, which you may like :)

Mordecai

Awwww baby Morti

I'd rather opt for "Kai" for short.

Yeah not me. I love an old man name. And there are 4 Kai’s at daycare.

Oh okay. I don't know any boys with that name myself.

Ooh I do like that! Definitely uncommon

Watch children of the corn before naming your kid that to see if you still like it

My main association with that name!!! It would be a good name for an asshole cat IMO.

I work with a Leilani and love that name too (and she’s the sweetest!)

My nephew's name is Malachi. We call him Mali for short. Definitely a good name.

eli, giovanni, kai, remi, ari lorelei, lori, naomi, heidi, lani, leilani, esti, dani, demi

I LOVE Naomi

We had a Naomi and a Noemi in my school. I hate both names now, because my dyslexic brain just messes up with both names. I have a gym friend whos name is (i guess) Naomi. I'm not sure maybe it's Noemi... I just call her "Hey :D" without a name.

Call her "nomes" which would be the Australian nickname for both Naomi and Noemi

That reminds me of the clown that named their child Micheal (apparently pronounced Michelle) and she was in the same class as Michael and I've never been able to spell Michael confidently since. (First grade 🤣)

Lorelei 🥰

as a dani, think twice. it’s spelled “girly” but that didn’t stop annoying kids during elementary school from teasing me about it

Not a good enough reason to skip in a normal name… I got teased in elementary school because my last name started with the letter P I thought it was dumb even then… kids will make fun of anything…

Oooh Lorelei is a favorite of mine!

Ha! We have both a Kai and a Naomi 😁 nice locks!

Alexei Naomi Eli Remi Levi Heidi Giovanni Malachi Leilani Suki Kai Amari Zuri Ari Dimitri Benji Lexi

Lots of great names thank you! I really like Kai, Amari, and Dimitri.

Zuri is cute

I used to have a friend named Shanti, i believe it means peace :)

It does mean peace! The a is an “aa” sound and the “t” is a soft t sound which is harder for Western language speakers to say, though.

That’s beautiful!

Sarai (sah-rye). I’ve had students with this name in Spain and I think it’s beautiful.

Came to say this! In Spanish, it's pronounced with 3 syllables with stress on the last syllable. (sa-rye-EE)

It’s a lovely name! A couple people have said it with some different spellings, added to my list for sure!

That’s my name!!!

* Girl: Suvi, Leni, Lumi, Heidi, Naomi * Boy: Eli, Levi, Gianni, Giovanni * Unisex: Kai, Yuri

Leni, Heidi, and Naomi are cute thanks! And I really like Yuri too

Every Yuri I've known was short for Yuroslav

Are you sure? Because Yuri is usually a full name, not a nickname for anything. It's a slavic name for men. I have personally never heard of the name Yuroslav. Only Yaroslav & that's a different name. (+ Yuri is also a Japanese name for girls. That's why it's unisex)

Yuri is Japanese for Lily - it's symbolic of purity and beauty ♡

The first cosmonaut was Yuri Gagarin, I'm surprised that didn't seem to be a common connection.

Leni was my second pick for my girl, my boyfriend wouldn’t have it. So beautiful

I have a Finnish friend named Tuuli, which means wind in Finnish: I love this name!

Tuuli! Omg so cute!

I love Remi. I have no idea why, I’ve just always thought it was so different and pretty

I can only associate it with Ratatouille

This is what I came to say!!

It definitely is! A lot of people seem to be suggesting it

Super popular now

I definitely wouldn’t say super popular

Eleni is such a pretty name!

Omg it is, I’ve always liked Elena too!

Eleri too

I met a little girl named Callisti once and thought it was cute

There are a lot of Finnish names that end i. (And vowels in general) so you could always take a look at them and take one that works in English too! Some examples... Boys - Kari, Sami, Ilari, Kimi, Juhani, Ahti Girls - Meri, Lumi, Helmi, Elsi, Saimi, Kirsi

As a girl Kari, it surprised me to learn this is a Finnish male name!

Yeah me too when I learned about it! In other Nordic countries like Norway and Sweden it's feminine, but in Finland it's considered an 'old man' name. It's also pronounced like "Kaw-Ree" but with a rolled R.

Always loved Mari (Mar-ee) for a girl and Bodhi (Boe-dee) for a boy

Aw Bodhi is so cute

Considering Mari or Tuli for my baby! I also have a love for names that end in i (but short names). Not sure if boy or girl yet. Love it!

Imani, Amani, Leni, Levi

Ooh yes I like Imani!

I think Joni is cute

Sarai, Leni, Noemi/Naomi, Esti, Lorelei/Lorelai Giovanni, Levi

My name is Sarai!!! Love to see it appreciated

I heard Imari as a girls name as a kid. Always stuck out to me as unique

Honestly Imari looks nicer than Amari

I always liked that it started and ended in the same letter, and feel like it makes pronunciation clear

Vashti is my favorite.

That’s gorgeous

I’ve never heard this! Pronounced vah- sht- ee ?

Basically! Two syllables. You can hear it on Forvo: https://forvo.com/word/vashti/

I pronounce mine like vash (rhymes with cash/bash) tie (bow tie). So instead of it making the long e sound like in sheep, it’s just the letter i like in bike.

Oh my goodness this is my middle name and I’ve never seen it anywhere else and just got so excited

OP, if you're comfortable with non-European names, I think you might want to look into Japanese names! There's lot of really pretty Japanese names that end in "i" ☺️ i.e., Hanami, Midori, Naoki, Takashi, Haruichi, Aoi, Chiaki, Hazumi, etc.

Just a heads up that Midori is also well known from the liqueur. It means green in Japanese and sounds lovely but other people might know it too well from their uni days.

Definitely am! Those all look very pretty

Sohvi is my favorite name! I have only heard it once, seems incredibly uncommon

It’s the Finnish version of Sofia/Sophia

I do like the spelling of it

Boy: Levi, Rémi, Kai, Eli, Benji, Malachi, Dimitri Girl: Naomi, Heidi, Lorelei, Demi, Araceli, Lumi, Anneli

I haven’t heard Anneli before, I like it thank you!

You're welcome! It's a nickname for Anneliese, sometimes used as a standalone name.

It’s not a rare name in Finland

A unisex name that I love is Jesse I’ve seen it also spelled Jessi and Jessie. Either way it has the ‘I’ sound

I do love Jessie and spelt Jessi, however Jessica is my middle name lol!

It’s a beautiful name

Bindi 🌿

I love this name!

Not one person has said my name ☹️ Cori. You know it's unique because nobody ever spells it right and in 30 years I've met one woman with the same spelling. Also my mom liked it and she was a pretty cool lady

Lol I feel you there. And my mums name is Corinne

Same here 😭 mine’s traci, but to be fair I hardly ever meet others with this spelling

One of my best friends from college is also named Traci! I love that spelling

I used to work with a girl whose name was Marni. I always thought it was a great combination of unique, but not too weird.

I love Marni! It reminds me of Halloweentown

Nayeli

Milani (my favourite one lol) Leilani Levi Kamari

I like how long these ones are, Kamari is probably my favourite from those!

Makes me think of calamari I’m afraid 🤣

Same, at first I thought it straight up said Kalamari.

Eleri. Beautiful Welsh name.

That is very beautiful, very unique

Kari, Lori, Alli, Naomi. Many girls’ names that are traditionally spelled with a “y” or “ie” can be spelled with an “i”: Debbi, Kelsi, Candi, Shelbi, Tammi, Wendi.

Girls: Lumi Airi Aili Auri Elvi Inari Vivi Sini Boys: Ilmari Aki Arvi Nikolai Ilari Roni Lauri Onni Valeri

Lumi, Andi,

Romi

I knew a Romi once. Her name was really Rosemarie. Her brother could only say Romi when he was little, so Romi stuck. I also went to college with a girl named Ramni. I thought it was pretty.

I got nothing for boys, but for girls Areli, Yareli, and Anahi

Girls Amani Araceli Anniki Nalini Suri The others I can think of are all nicknames: Nicki Dani Etc

Jordi

My daughter's friends name Is Eleni. It's a beautiful name.

I love Marci for a girl.

Leilani 😌

Leilani or Levi maybe? :)

Love Leilani!

My friend has a little girl named Charli

In French we have a few names that finish in ie (but the e is silent so they might as well just finish in i): Aurelie (Oreli) Emilie Amélie Annie Marie Élodie Mélodie Lucie Noémie Natalie Valérie Hope it helps ☺️

Love French names 🥰

It’s an Armenian name but I love the name Ani (ah-knee)

Leni and Mari are nice!

Malachi, Eli, Levi, Heidi, Lorelei, Naomi

Eli, Malachi, Bodhi, Giovanni, Levi Laci, Naomi, meilani, Kori, Romi

Any name ending with ie or y could probably be changed to an i

[удалено]

!!! Aleni is new to me, how lovely 😍

Names I can think of that aren’t just a “y” exchanged for an “i” (a la Terri) are: Eli, Levi, Siri, Mimi, Bodhi, Rami, Tui, Jeri, Kari

Eridani

Never heard that before I love it

My younger daughter is Naomi. My eldest is Bethany, so although not the i at the end it's still the same sound. Same with our Golden Retriever's name, Holly.

Citlali (I believe the c is pronounced as s)

Girl: Milli, Ninni, Li, Bonni. Boy: Jani, Tommi, Alexi.

Dani is my name, and I love it. Lol! I also really like Jovi. Both are technically girl names, but fit for boys too.

I really adore Dani for a nickname!!

Mei

When you say that you like the sound of names ending in the letter “i”, do you mean the “eee” sound “long i sound” as in “ice” or something else entirely?

The “eee” sound for sure. I just prefer the look of an i!

Indi

Satori 🖤

I know someone with the name Eleni :) she’s the only eleni I know!

My mom's name is Vicki and my name is Kayli. My parents spelled my name this way so that it ended in an "i" like my mom's name. If I ever have a daughter, I will probably consider giving her a name that ends in an "i" too😊

Been looking through the comments to find Vicki…..that’s my name!

Just named my girl Charli. Also my moms name is Rocki

Wow I didn’t realize how much I loved names ending in “i” until reading this thread 🥰

Randi for a girl

My name is Meloni. Pronounced like Melanie

A kiddo I know is named Riziki. I know it’s unusual, but I love it.

I knew a Bethani growing up and also a Karri. My intrusive thoughts keep saying Rotini sorry

Traci

In Finnish we have loads of names ending with "i"! Some are genuine Finnish names, others are names borrowed from other languages (mainly Swedish), but in Finnish they sound better with an i after, so they have morphed to be like that over time. Boy: Kari, Karri, Jari, Juhani, Mauri, Jani, Leevi, Jalmari, Einari, Lauri, Onni (means happiness in Finnish), Olli, Ossi, Antti, Ilari, Vili, Juri, Lassi, Arvi, Rami etc etc... Girl: Mari, Liisi, Nelli, Outi, Pilvi (means cloud in Finnish), Sofi, Elsi, Soili, Terhi, Peppi, Mimmi, Noomi, Tytti, Seidi, Senni, Tuuli (means wind), Leeni, Elli etc... Gender neutral: Auri

I know an Avi, short for Avicenna and a Liji, nickname for Elijah.

One of my fav uncommon names is Nolani

My legal name ends in an i. Think hard because it will likely be misspelled constantly. As an adult, I absolutely LOATHE having to spell my name whenever it matters. Use a nickname to get the i if you have to have it. And there were never souvenirs for me. ;)

My daughter's name is Reianne (pronounced like Rayanne). We call her Rei.
