What's included in the Nylah worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital N + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #503; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in N, y

Nylah is a workout for a young writer: all 5 of its letters are different, and enough of them use the strokes that come last to make this a name worth repeating. The diagonal strokes in “N” and “y” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Watch the tail on “y”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. The tall letters “l” and “h” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Nylah was the #503 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Nylah tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Nylah:

N — A big line down, then from its top a slanted line to the bottom of where the second big line goes, and that second line drawn up (or down) to finish.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.

Three of Nylah's 5 letters stand full height on the guides — “N”, “l” and “h”. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Nylah runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 girls' list yet still ahead of 461 of the 953 girls' names.

Nylah was the #503 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Nylah

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “N” and “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Nylah feel easier.
Split Nylah down the middle: trace “Nyl”, pause, then “ah” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than five letters at once.
Point out that “y” in Nylah dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Give Nylah its height song: “tall, tail, tall, small, tall”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
End every session the same way: one Nylah on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Nylah solid and dark.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 5 letters, Nylah sits well at any of them, so let your child's control decide: large while strokes are new, smaller once they steady.

Number of practice lines

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
