Girls names for boys

If you love Puritan virtue names and want to move beyond Hope and Faith and Grace, this is a wonderful choice, both for its meaning and its sound. A rare find here, though occasionally heard in England. It was used in Winston Graham's Poldark novels, was Madonna's name as James Bond's fencing instructor in Die Another Day, and made a brief appearance in Harry Potter. Not to mention being a fixture on British and Australian soaps. Verity also appears in one of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple mysteries.

Violet is soft and sweet, yet with a vivacious edge. Today, Violet is the top flower name for girls, outranking Lily and Iris in the Top 100, and the second most popular color name for girls after Scarlett.

Yoland is a feminine name that appears as a shortened form of Yolanda, which has medieval origins. Derived from the French name Yolande, it ultimately comes from the Germanic elements meaning "violet flower" or possibly "ruler of the homeland." This concise variation maintains the elegant essence of Yolanda while offering a more streamlined, modern feel. Though uncommon, Yoland has an international appeal, recognized across various European cultures. The name carries a certain strength and dignity, with its crisp ending providing a contemporary edge. While much rarer than the full form Yolanda, Yoland might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive yet historically grounded name that works well across language boundaries.
