Mella is a sweet feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may be a variation of Melina (Greek for 'honey'), a short form of names containing 'mel' like Melissa or Amelia, or could connect to the Latin 'mellitus' meaning 'sweetened with honey.' In Italian, 'mella' relates to apples, adding another layer of natural symbolism. This melodic name has historical usage across several European countries but remains fairly uncommon in contemporary times. Mella has a gentle, flowing quality that suggests sweetness and warmth. The name's brevity and easy pronunciation make it accessible across languages and cultures. For parents seeking something distinctive yet intuitive, Mella offers a rarely-used option with pleasant sounds and positive associations of sweetness and natural beauty.

A bright yet gentle sounding botanical choice, Taimi has that cool, strong EYE sound and an appealing -i ending. Not to be confused with 60s and 70s fave, Tammy, Taimi relates to plants in Estonian and to young saplings in Finnish, though they ultimately share the same root. 
 
Taimi is also used as a Japanese name, making this a multicultural option. It may be interpreted as meaning "great + beauty" or "peaceful + to see", though other kanji combinations are possible. 
 
It may be worth noting that Taimi is the name of a dating app, pronounced, in this case, as "TAY-mee".

Davee

Bobbe is a feminine name that serves as a diminutive form of Barbara or Roberta. It originated as a nickname with the playful '-e' ending that was popular in the mid-20th century. The name Barbara comes from Greek roots meaning 'foreign' or 'strange,' while Roberta is derived from Germanic elements meaning 'bright fame.' Bobbe saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1930s-1950s but has become quite rare in contemporary usage. This short, friendly name has a vintage charm that reflects the naming trends of its heyday, when abbreviated forms with distinctive spellings were fashionable for girls.

Monja is a name with two separate origins. From its Russian roots, it's an alternative form of Monya and Manya, both used diminutives of the classic Maria. In this case, it would mean "beloved", "drop of the sea", or "bitterness", due to Maria's uncertain etymology.
 
From its Slovene roots, however, Monja is a diminutive of Monika, likely meaning "advisor" or possibly "single, one", and while in Russia, it is used as a short form, in Slovenia, it may be used as a stand alone choice.
 
The name is also used in Germany, South Africa, and the Netherlands, again as a form of Monika, Mona, or Maria.
