There are a lot of names starting with "th", like classic Theodore and transparent Thea. Yet, there are also plenty of names that end in the same sound.  GIRLS' NAMES: Ardith (unranked)-Ardith was in moderate use over 75 years ago, but it wasn't common enough to date. This makes Ardith a transparent nature name that fits in with popular Isla. Delyth (unranked)-Delyth is a Welsh name meaning "pretty". It has the same first-syllable sound as vintage Della along with the ending of the also-Welsh Gwyneth.  Edith (#501)-Edith is a vintage charmer that has just started to come back during this past decade. Though serious, it is also cute with the combination of the long "ee" beginning and soft "ith" ending. With the birth of celebrity child Edith Pepper in 2020, I expect this one to rise in 2021. Gwyneth (unranked)-As mentioned above, Gwyneth has the same ending sound and Welsh origin as Delyth. It also shares the same beginning sound as retro
