Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin is a master namer, and this unusual choice from India is beginning to be heard in nurseries as well as on television. Sansa was perhaps slower to catch on than other names such as Arya and Khaleesi as Sansa Stark was in the first seasons of the show a weak and compromised character.

An alluring option — literally — introduced in 1997.

The name of a pretty white flower also called the Amazon lily, in rare use as a baby name during the Edwardian period.

An object thought to have magic powers and to bring good luck.
