These Baby Names That End With 'I' Are Perfect Through Adult

Baby names that end with “i” have gotten an unfair reputation. They are often seen as cutesy, bubbly, even ditzy — maybe adorable on a child, but lacking the gravity needed for an adult — like Bambi or Candi. But if your initial impression of baby names that end with “i” fits this stereotype, prepare to be amazed … because there’s a whole world of -i names that are unique, beautiful, regal, and lovely, perfect for childhood and equally fitting for an adult.

We need look no further than the celebrity world for a ton of examples of distinctive names that end in “i” that aren’t too “cute.” Ever heard of Demi Moore? Or there’s conservationist, zookeeper, and media personality Bindi Irwin. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri. Heidi (another i-ending name!) Klum’s daughter’s name is Leni. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend named their newest baby girl Esti. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are the proud parents of Malti — another member of the “name ending with i” club. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have a daughter named Rumi, and Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves-McConaughey are the parents of a son named Levi. All of these names are perfectly adorable for kids, to be sure, but they’re also names you can picture on an adult (one who people respect and take seriously!).

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite names ending in “i” for boys, girls, and some gender-neutral options as well!
