      "Cyneburga's meadow"
    • Description:

      Kimberly's heyday was in the 1960s and 70s, when it ranked among the Top 10. While it hasn't been stylish for decades, it's evidenced more staying power than some former hot girl names, remaining among the Top 300 girl names in the US, where it's stood for 70 years.
  2. Shirley
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "bright meadow"
    • Description:

      Shirley Temple almost single-handedly lifted the gloom of the Great Depression, and in tribute (and perhaps wishing for a similarly curly-headed, dimpled darling of their own), thousands of parents of that generation gave their little girls her name. In 1935, Shirley was the second most popular girls' name in the country with more than 42,000 babies named Shirley.

      "of divine manifestation"

    • Origin:

      English diminutive of Cynthia, Greek, or Lucinda, Spanish and Portuguese
    • Meaning:

      "moon goddess, woman from Kynthos; "
    • Description:

      Cindy as a name in its own right made it into the Top 20 in 1957 and remained a Top 200 girls' name until the end of the 20th century. Although it's fallen precipitously since then and left the Top 1000 completely in 2015, Cindy remains a name commonly heard in the US.

  6. Beverly
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "dweller near the beaver stream"

      English; diminutive of Adelaide
    • Meaning:

      "noble"

  17. Stacy
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Anastasia
    • Description:

      A key cheerleader in the nickname game of the 1970s, Stacy is now the mom. Consider Stacia, or the original Anastasia.

      Latin from Greek
    • Meaning:

      "cheerful, happy"
    • Description:

      Hilary (also spelled with two 'l's) is a hot potato of a name, so closely identified with Sen. Clinton that it's hard for most parents to see it as a baby name. A pity, really, as it's got so much going for it: the popular, rhythmic three-syllable structure, the fact that it's strong but light, proper but jaunty, with an irresistible meaning -- having the same root as hilarious.
  19. Samary
    • Description:

      Samary is a feminine name with multicultural origins and interpretations. It may be derived from biblical elements, possibly related to Samaria (an ancient city in the Middle East) or as a variation of Samara, which has Hebrew and Arabic connections. In some cultures, it could be a modern creative variant of names like Samantha or Mary. The name is quite rare in most Western countries, giving it a distinctive quality. With its melodic sound pattern and ending in 'y', Samary fits contemporary naming trends while maintaining uniqueness. The name's uncommon nature means it doesn't carry strong cultural associations for most people, allowing it to be shaped by the individual who bears it.
  20. Glory
    • Origin:

      Word name
    • Description:

      Glory sounds fresh and uplifting and a lot more modern than Gloria (which is definitely feeling the stirrings of a revival, though some might still view it as a terminal Old Lady name). Glory, as in "Glory Be" and "Old Glory," has both a religious and a patriotic flavor.
