'O' names

  1. Ode
    • Origin:

      Word name or medieval English form of Otto
    • Description:

      If Story and Poet and Sonnet can be names that work as well for girls as for boys, why not Ode?
  2. Olive
    • Origin:

      English, from Latin, nature name
    • Meaning:

      "olive tree"
    • Description:

      Though greatly overshadowed by the trendy Olivia, Olive has a quiet, subtle appeal of its own -- and is now enjoying a remarkable comeback. Olive is one of only four girl names starting with O on the US Top 1000. Cool couple Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen chose it for their daughter, reviving the name to stylishness, and now Drew Barrymore has a little Olive too, as has country singer Jake Owen.
  3. Omega
    • Origin:

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "last"
    • Description:

      Omega is a perfect choice for a youngest child.
  4. Omorose
    • Origin:

      Egyptian
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful"
    • Description:

      Not a variation on Rose, but definitely made familiar by the similarity.
  5. Opal
    • Origin:

      Sanskrit
    • Meaning:

      "gem"
    • Description:

      Opal is on the verge of a repolishing, following other jewel names like Ruby and Pearl. A Top 100 name during the first two decades of the twentieth century, the opalescent Opal has a good chance of coming back as another O-initial option.
  6. Ophelia
    • Origin:

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "help"
    • Description:

      Ophelia reentered the US Top 1000 in 2015 after more than 50 years off the charts, and rose more than 600 spots since then, with no signs of slowing down. Could Ophelia may be the next Olivia?
  7. Otylia
