Toddlers & Tiaras Baby Names

  1. Destiny

    • Origin:

      Word name, English from Latin

    • Meaning:

      "destiny, fate"

    • Description:

      If Destiny is your daughter's destiny, she probably won't be the only one in her school: until 2009, Destiny was in the Top 50, with three of its alternate spellings in hot pursuit. It has since dipped a bit in popularity but is still widely used. Destiny Hope was the birth name of Miley Cyrus and Destiny Jones is the daughter or rapper Nas.
  2. Alivia

    • Origin:

      Variation of Olivia

    • Description:

      While Alivia may not have achieved the megapopularity of its mother name, it's still a widely used choice. Alivia combines the trendiness of A names with the trendiness of Olivia to create a choice that's slightly off the beaten track -- slightly being the operative word here. Is the distinction the initial A earns you worth a lifetime of explaining, "No, it's Alivia, with an A, not Olivia"? Your call, though ours would be no.
  3. Charli

      Variation of Charlie, English diminutive of Charlotte, French "free man"

      Variation of Megan, Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "pearl"

    • Description:

      Megan was one of the first trendy names to spawn lots of spelling variations and this form of the name is less popular than its streamlined counterpart, but nevertheless familiar to those in the English speaking world.

    • Meaning:

      "Brock's settlement"

    • Description:

      Braxton entered the popularity ranks in 1985 and has been climbing steadily ever since. It has gained from the all-powerful X-factor, and perhaps also from the reality TV show, Braxton Family Values, featuring singer Toni and her sisters Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar. Though it might sound new, there was a prominent Confederate Civil War general named Braxton Bragg.
  16. Breanne

    • Description:

      Breanne is a feminine name that emerged as a modern variation of Breanna, which itself is a feminine form of Brian, a name of Irish and Celtic origin meaning "high" or "noble." This contemporary spelling became popular in North America during the 1980s and 1990s, offering a slightly different take on the more common Breanna or Brianna. Breanne strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness, with its recognizable roots but less common form. The name peaked in popularity during the late 1990s but has maintained steady usage since then. With its soft sounds and feminine ending, Breanne carries a gentle yet modern feel. The name's Irish heritage connects it to a rich cultural tradition while its contemporary spelling gives it a fresh, updated quality.

      Word name

      Spelling variation of Madison

    • Meaning:

      "son of Maud"

    • Description:

      While the traditionally spelled Madison has been among the most popular names in the 21st century, this version isn't exactly unpopular. Nevertheless, the second d is superfluous.
  20. Laci

    • Description:

      Laci is a feminine name with multiple origins. It can be considered a modern variation of Lacey, which derived from a Norman surname referring to a person from Lassy, France. It also has connections to the Latin 'laqueus' meaning 'snare' or 'noose,' which evolved to refer to lace fabric. In Hungarian, Laci serves as a nickname for László. The Americanized spelling with an 'i' ending gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, appealing to parents seeking names with a contemporary feel and playful sound. The name conveys a sense of delicacy and femininity while maintaining a modern edge. Laci remains relatively uncommon but recognizable, making it both distinctive and accessible.
