Girls with “Y” names are born ready to lead the pack. So usher in Yesenia, Yash and Yadana!

The letter Y is more commonly seen at the end of a name, Laura Wattenberg, the creator of Namerology, once told TODAY.com. For example, Hadley, Everly, Aubrey, Ivy, Emery and Destiny are all included on previous Social Security Administration's popular names lists.

You can also find the letter Y smack in the middle of names or pulling up the rear. Don’t we all know a child (or two or three) named Brooklyn, Adalynn, Madelyn, Kaitlyn, Evelyn or Jocelyn?

The names we've listed are not just for girls, nor are they necessarily traditional girl names (for example, names like Yi and Yari are gender-neutral).

So if you’re itching to give your baby girl an unforgettable introduction, our collection of girl names that start with "Y" will steer you toward the best choice — now, what will it be?
