Blayne is a feminine name with Celtic and Gaelic origins, though it can also be used as a masculine name.

One of many spellings of Kaylee, itself a name created from Kay and Lee or from Kelila; or, an anglicization of the Gaelic Ceilidh, meaning "companion" but generally referring to a social occasion of dancing, music, and story telling. 

Cailey

Calise

Similar in style to Carter, Harper, and Hunter, this arty occupational name has been gaining attention in the US in recent years — mostly for boys, but also a small number of girls. Predominantly associated with wood carving, it could also be linked to those who carve stone, marble, ice, pumpkins, or meat. 
 
While some may read the "carver" meaning as creative and artistic, others may find it a little grisly and violent, but there is a way around this association if you love the sound or it's a family surname. It may also have its origins in the Norman French caruier meaning "wagon, cart" which could feel more neutral.
 
In a recent year, Carver was given to 11 girls, compared to 120 boys, however, celebs Amanda Marie Mizell and JJ Mizell named their daughter Carver Christine in 2025, which may put Carver on more people's radar.

Carver

An appealing surname-name that sounds perfectly feminine, unless you consider the association to Vice President Dick.

Chaney

Cianni is a feminine name with modern origins, likely derived as a creative variation of names like Gianna (Italian feminine form of John, meaning 'God is gracious') or possibly a blend of elements from names like Ciara and Gianni. The unique spelling with 'C' instead of 'G' gives it a distinctive appearance while maintaining a melodious pronunciation. This name emerged in the early 21st century as part of the trend toward creating unique variants of traditional names. While still relatively uncommon, Cianni appeals to parents seeking a contemporary name with a soft, feminine sound and Italian flair, but with a unique spelling that sets their child apart.

Dariya is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. In Slavic countries, particularly Russia and Ukraine, it's a variation of Daria, derived from the Persian name Daraya meaning 'sea' or from the Greek name Dareios meaning 'possessing goodness.' In Hindi and Sanskrit, Dariya means 'ocean' or 'river.' The name has been used consistently throughout Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia for centuries. Dariya has a melodious, flowing quality that reflects its aquatic meanings across cultures. Its international character makes it accessible in multiple languages while maintaining its distinctive charm. In recent years, as global names have gained popularity, Dariya has seen increased usage in Western countries, appealing to parents seeking a beautiful, meaningful name with international roots.

The name Dasani was created by the Coca-Cola Company in 1999 for its bottled water product. Like other brands at the time, Coca-Cola tested various invented names and ultimately settled on Dasani because focus group data told them "the name is relaxing and suggests pureness and replenishment." Some have suggested it comes from the Latin sanus meaning "healthy".
 
The name debuted on the baby name charts for both girls and boys that year, later peaking in 2001 when over 150 babies were given the name. It's still in use today, albeit, with less frequency: just 13 girls and 8 boys received the name in a recent count.

With a similar cadence to Everly, Delaney, and Avery, Devory is a contemporary choice with several possible origins. On one hand, it could be a twist on the Hebrew name Devorah, giving it the meaning "bee", linking it to the Bible, and making it a possible honor name for a Deborah.
 Alternatively, it could originate from the place name Devore in California, itself derived from the surname of one of its PREVIOUS landowners, John Devore. The surname Devore is a variation of the French De Var or DeVors, meaning "person from Var" or "person from Vors". However, there is also a fabric technique known as Devoré, in which chemicals are used to burn out patterns onto material. The technique takes its name from the French word for "devour" and Devory sounds fairly like an anglicization of such.
 
That still doesn't pin it down, however, because it could also relate to the surnames Devery or Deveraux, which both mean "from the riverbank". 
 
Given to just 19 girls in 2023, Devory makes a rare and unexpected choice - though it may just be a little too close to devouring for some.

Devory

Dionne is an Americanized version of the Greek Dione, with many sub-versions of its own, identified with singer Dionne Warwick. It was also the surname of the Canadian quintuplets born in 1934, who gained worldwide fame as the first kown quints to survive to adulthood.
 In Greek mythology, spelled Dione, she was the wife of Zeus and mother of Aphrodite.

Dylann is a feminine variation of the Welsh name Dylan, which means 'son of the sea' or 'born from the ocean.' This modern spelling with double 'n' creates a more feminine appearance while maintaining the name's Celtic roots.

The name carries connotations of free-spiritedness and natural beauty, evoking images of flowing water and coastal landscapes.
