  1. Brae
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name, Scottish
    • Meaning:

      "slope of a hill"
    • Description:

      A newly hatched cousin of Bree and Brea, with a touch of Bailey and Brynn there too, Brae feels like a name that could catch on. However, a 'bray' is also the sound a donkey makes.
  2. Mocha

      English, color and coffee name
    • Description:

      Save this for your next run to Starbucks.
  3. Miracle

    • Meaning:

      "wonder, marvel"
    • Description:

      A surprisingly popular spiritual name that entered the US Top 500 in 2003. As of 2023, it is still a Top 500 choice, where it fits in with similar bold word names like Chosen, Blessing, and Dream. Miracle is a familiar name in Nigeria too, where it is used as a unisex option.
  4. Meilani
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name
    • Description:

      Meilani may sound like a Hawaiian name, kind of a mashup of Leilani and Melanie, but it's actually an invention by that style-maven JWoww, AKA Jenni Farley of Jersey Shore, who used it for her daughter. It debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2015.
  5. Garnet
    • Origin:

      Jewel name, from the French
    • Meaning:

      "pomegranate"
    • Description:

      One of the jewel names in use a hundred years ago, due for revival along with sisters Ruby and Pearl.
  6. Remember
    • Origin:

      Word name
    • Description:

      No one will ever forget it. But Remember as a name came over on the Mayflower, so it has deep history as well as modern potential.
  7. Cashmere
    • Origin:

      Word name, English from Hindustani
    • Meaning:

      "fine, downy wool"
    • Description:

      Cashmere is soft, luxurious — and way out of the ordinary. One of the unique names found in The Hunger Games series.
  8. Harbor
    • Origin:

      Word name
    • Description:

      We've seen Haven take off as a nouveau girls' name; Harbor could follow in its wake.
  9. Delicia
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "delight"
    • Description:

      Tastier than Alicia or Felicia.
  10. Schuyler
    • Origin:

      Dutch
    • Meaning:

      "scholar"
    • Description:

      Originally a Dutch surname, imported by the early Dutch colonists, has been all but overpowered by the phonetic spellings in the US -- Skyler for boys and Skylar for girls. With the surnames-as-first-names trend, however, and the popularity of the Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton, which features the Schuyler sisters, perhaps Schuyler might receive some more interest in the coming years.
  11. Arbor
    • Origin:

      Nature name
    • Description:

      Arbor is an original unisex tree-related choice we're sure to hear more of. Highly unusual now, Arbor takes its place alongside other new arborial names ranging from the mighty Oak (or Oakley) to the more delicate Birch to the more flowery Juniper, Acacia, and Hazel.
  12. Cheyanne
    • Origin:

      English variation of Cheyenne, Sioux
    • Meaning:

      "people of a different language"
    • Description:

      This is a variation of Cheyenne that is slipping in the popularity list toward obscurity.
  13. Abrial
    • Origin:

      French
    • Meaning:

      "open, secure, protected"
    • Description:

      This unique baby name is stronger, more distinctive than April or Avril.

      Spanish variation of Latin
    • Meaning:

      "luck, fate, wealth"
    • Description:

      Brimming over with a sense of good fortune. Could make a little girl feel very lucky.
