I need two syllable girl names that end in a consonant sound (ex: Scarlet, Alice, Charlotte)?
Violet Raven Lilith Frances Peaches Isis Iris Georgette Bridget Lauren Diane Joanne Leanne Ellen Helen Victoire - the 'r' sound is soft and French-sounding, but it's there. Jordan Clarice Maureen Elise Louise Robyn Olive Arwen Ingrid Astrid Shannon Carys Berit Lexus Carol Edith Eden Rowan Angel - ends in an 'l', but doesn't have the 'elle' sound. Skylar Taylor Lisbeth Annette Lynette Colette Colleen Gunhild Magnhild Paulette Yvette Julienne Harriet Henriette Odette Agnes Beatrice - when pronounced [BEAT-riss] instead of [Bee-AH-triss] Florence Lenore Nadine Candace Cadance Esther Susan Susanne Sharon Alex Irene Megan Morgan Hayden Solace Autumn Briar Meadow London Paris Piper Harper Heather Reagan Opal Willow Lorraine Jasmine Summer Amber Erin Karen Caitlin Teagan Heaven Carmen Tatum April Lyric Logan Eileen Celeste Elaine Lucille Ryanne Aspen Cheyanne Simone Abril Avril Therese Bristol Cherish Cheryl Phoenix Patience Corinne Judith Janet Ember Gretchen кҷяα ♥: LOL - I love how you seem to think not answering the question does not qualify for a thumbs down.
Cute girl names to go with Kieran?
I've never heard the name Kieran but it's gorgeous... I was thinking of names that flow well. Because Kieran ends with a consonant, a name beginning with a vowel would sound smooth and flow off the tongue beautifully when said as a whole. For example: Kieran Alia Kieran Anne Kieran Anna Kieran Adrianna Kieran Elise Kieran Emilia Kieran Eleana Kieran Ivan Kieran Olivia Or you can go with a simple, typical middle name that seems to flow well with everything. Like "Jane," or "Marie." If you go to babynames.com, you can do an advanced search for names beginning (or ending) with a certain letter, search for names based on meaning, or just view lists of names. They prove to be quite helpful when I'm naming characters for my projects. Or, if you have a Facebook account, view your friends' friends. They may have some unusual and beautiful names. Hope this helped-- good luck.
How do I pronounce African names that start with the letter M and followed by a non-vowel, for example Mbuti?
It’s the end sound of the ‘M’, the sound you hear in ‘hmm’ or when something is tasty ‘mmm’. Like ‘um’ or ‘em’ - without the vowel sound.Mbuti is: (u)m-boo-teeI believe the ‘bu’ actually sounds like the ‘oo’ in ‘book’, rather than the sound in ‘boot’.Unlike the ‘o’ sound, for instance, in Thabo or Thato — which is said as ‘oo’ like ‘boot’.Thabo — Tah-booThato — Tah-tooJust be thankful your name isn’t this hard to pronounce.Meet Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemuhwem OsasPleased to meet you…It works similarly for the N that comes before a consonant.For example:Nkosi — (e)n-koh-zeeNdlovu — (e)nd-loh-vooThe sound that stymies me is the -hla- sound, as in:HlatshwayoMhlangaDhlaminiIt actually sounds like it looks, but I find it difficult to wrap my mouth around.(Anyone remember the name of that politician in South Africa whose last name was something like Mhlanthle ? I can’t remember it properly…)
Why do most Indian girls' names end with 'a'?
Probably you mean Hindu girl names. The main Indian language is hindi which has originated from Sanskrit. The most common type of addressing females is -akarant sthriling (feminine gender) - meaning words ending in A . So such names are common. In Sanskrit every word have a defined structure and meaning. Any addition or subtraction leads to a predefined meaning.Hindu girl names also end with other vowels too like i/ee--Vani, Mandakini, Draupadi etc. The grammar says that if you add aa or ee/i in specified situations all male noun words become female. For example, take my name, tarun and add i to it which then becomes taruni which is a female name. Similary if you take Arun and append a to it, it becomes Aruna which is again feminine.

Why do so many girls' names end with the letter A?
Probably because the -a ending is often a feminine marker in Romance languages (Latin and its descendants). There may be other reasons as well.
Is there an applicable rule to go by for doubling consonants when adding suffixes such as scanning from scan?
As a general rule, if the consonant is preceded by a short vowel sound, you double it, and if preceded by a long vowel sound, you do not (and may well end up removing a silent e). But this being English and all, for every rule there are plenty of exceptions.
