If you want to give your child the gift of...gab. 

Eloquent

Romantic and mysterious, Eluned's beauty and intelligence were legendary in Welsh legend; she was the handmaiden of the Lady of the Fountain in a Welsh Arthurian romance, who had a magic ring that made the wearer invisible. Pronunciation is usually similar in emphasis to Eleanor, but with ned instead of nor at the end. However, it's sometimes also pronounced el-LIN-ed or even shortened to Luned, the sounce of Lynette, in Tennyson's Gareth and Lynette.

Eluned

South African-raised actress Embeth Davidtz added this unique smooth name to the mix. Perfect if you can't decide between Emma and Elizabeth and more unusual than Annabeth.

Embeth

Gemstone names have a long history of use, from Ruby to Pearl. Emeraude is the French word for emerald. If the Spanish Esmeralda is stylish, why not Emeraude?

Emeraude

Energy

Most parents would prefer London for their daughters. 

England

Charming alternative to the overused Grace. 

Engracia

This perfume name, undoubtedly a takeoff on the French word for pretty, has somehow wafted into the girls' lexicon. Too commercial. 

Enjoli

Enterprise

We think Esmarie rolls off the tongue better.

Esmaria

Estrelle is a feminine name derived from Latin roots meaning 'star.' This beautiful variation is related to names like Estelle and Estrella, sharing their celestial associations. Primarily found in regions with French, Spanish, or Portuguese influences, Estrelle blends the French Estelle with a slightly more elaborate ending. The name evokes images of brightness, guidance, and beauty—qualities long associated with stars across various cultures. While not among the most common names, Estrelle offers parents a distinctive option with familiar roots. Its melodic sound and positive symbolic meaning make it appealing for those seeking a name that's both elegant and meaningful, balancing uniqueness with traditional origins.

Ethel is one of those vintage names that will always will be out...or will it? A generation ago we might have said the same for now-fashionable names like Florence and Ida. Even if Ethel rises, Etheline might sound too much like a chemical compound.

Etheline

Ethical

In Greek mythology, Evadne was the daughter of Poseidon. Evadne also appears in literature (Mary Shelley's "The Last Man") and has a pop culture reference as the cousin of Wonder Woman. A more unusual alternative to other Greek "-ee" names like Ariadne, Daphne and Penelope. The trendy "Ev" sound makes this a lovely choice in a world of Evelyns, Evangelines and Everlys.

Evadne

Every

Experience was used by the Puritans but probably too joke-worthy for a modern child...or teenager. 

Experience

Explorer is one occupational name destined to seek and find greater things.

Popular in Ireland, though not as popular as its spelling variant Eimear, Emer is a mythological name, associated with the legendary wife of the warrior hero Cuchulainn. She was said to possess the six gifts of womanhood: beauty, voice, speech, wisdom, chastity, and needlework.
 
While the exact meaning of Emer is unknown, one theory is that it means "swift" or "quick". 
 
Pronounced as EE-mer, this form of the name was most popular in 1983, when nearly 200 girls received the name, placing it in the Top 50. A more recent year saw it given to less that 2 girls, however.
 
Other forms of the name include Eimer and Éimhear (said as EH-ver), along with the Scottish variant Eimhir (pronounced AY-veer).

Estie is a charming feminine name that typically functions as a diminutive of Esther, which comes from the Persian word for 'star.' It can also be a nickname for Estelle, meaning 'star' in Latin, or other names beginning with 'Est-'. Estie combines antiquity with a playful, modern feel through its diminutive ending. The name carries a warm, friendly quality while maintaining connections to its more formal roots. Though never widely popular as a given name in its own right, Estie has seen occasional use in Jewish communities where Esther holds particular significance due to its biblical connections. The name's brevity and sweet sound give it an endearing quality, while its relative rarity makes it distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell.

Estie

In the 21st century, Exa is best known as the given name of Grimes and Elon Musk's daughter Y, a sibling for X Æ A-XII. The celebrity parents were inspired by the supercomputer terms exaFLOPS, which is the "ability for a supercomputer to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second." 
 
Historically, Exa was used as a phonetic variation of the biblical name Achsah, Caleb's daughter in the Old Testament. Exa was primarily used by Christians, and made the popularity charts a handful of times in the late 19th century. Exie is the short form.
