(“Hayle,” for instance — would you say it like Hale , or like Hailey ? Or “Rise” — is it rize ree-sah
Many of these names also happen to be unisex, so they appear on the one-syllable boy names list as well.

[Latest update: July 2023]
When you sign your first name, you use one hand. But when you type it, chances are you need to use both hands — even if your name is a short as Emma, Gus or Ty.
Have you ever wondered which names can be touch-typed on the standard QWERTY keyboard with one hand only? Me too, so I came up with some lists…
Left-handed baby names
Ace, Ada, Adeva , Aeta , Afra, Aqsa, Ara, Arda, Ardra, Artra, Asa, Astra, Astraea, Astrea , Atef, Ava, Awa, Aza, Azeeza, Azza
Babette, Barbara, Barrett, Baxter, Bess, Bette, Brad, Brett
Cade, Caesar, Cara, Carter, Casara , Case, Cass, Cedar, Ceres, Cesar, Cresta
Dara, Dasza , Dave, Dawes, Dax, Deatra , Debra, Dee, Dessa, Dexter, Drew
Ece, Ed, Edgar, Edward, Eevee, Efe, Egas, Erva, Esta, Estes, Etta, Eva, Eve, Everard, Everett, Evette, Eze, Ezra
Fedde, Freeda, Fred, Fredda
Gage, Garret, Garrett, Gerard, Grace, Greg, Greta, Grete, Gretta
Rafer , Rava, Rebeca, Rebecca, Reece, Reed, Reese, Retta, Reva, Rever, Rewa , RexSabra, Sada, Sade , Safaa, Sagar, Sage, Sara, Saras, Sardar, Stassa , Steve, Stewart, Svea, Sverre, Sveva
Tad, Tage, Taggart , Ted, Tara, Tate, Tera, Teresa, Tess, Tessa, Tex, Trace, Tracee, Trava
Vada , Varda, Varvara, Vera, Verree, Vesta, VesterWade, Wafa, Ward, Wes
Xerra , XerxesZada, Zara, Zed, Zera
How funny is it that Dexter, which comes directly from the Latin word for “right,” is typed with the left hand only?
Right-handed baby names
Holli, Holly
Io
Jill, Ji-Min, Jim, Jimi, Jimmy, Jin, Jo, John, Johnny, Jon, Joni, Joy, Juho, Juli, Julio, Jun, Juni, Juno
Kiki, Kiko, Kilik, Kim, Kimi, Kimiko, Kimmy, Kimo, Kin, Kip, Kipp, Kippy, Kiyoko, Kiyomi, Kojo, Kollin, Kumiko, Kuuipo, Kyou
Lili, Lilly, Lilou, Lilikoi, Lily, Lin, Lino, Loki, Loni, Lonny, Lou, Lulu, Lumi, Lyn, Lynn
Miki, Mikki, Mikko, Milly, Milo, Mimi, Min, Minh, Minokimin, Miyu, Molly, Momoko
Nik, Nikhil, Niki, Nikki, Niko, Nikol, Nikon, Niilo, Nolon, Nuno
Olli, Olujimi, Om
Phil, Philip, Phillip, Philo, Pio, Pliny, Plum, Pol, Polly, Pono, Poppy
Umiko, Umu
Yoko, Yuko, Yumi, Yumiko
I realize that QWERTY “handedness” is not a major baby-naming factor for most people, but I do think it would be cute to pair a one-handed name with another one-handed name — maybe a surname (Teresa Garza, Phillip Hill) or a twin name (Edward & John, Grace & Lily, Zara & Milo). What do you think?
