A feminine multicultural nickname name perfectly able to stand on its own, Zanna might technically relate to either Susanna or Jane, making it a flexible honor name for an ancestral Susan or Jane or even John.

Long before the Jennifer Era, Jennie was a fashionable pet form of several names, and was also used independently -- in 1875 it was in the Top 20. Jennie was replaced by the Jenny spelling in the 1960s, and is rarely seen today.

A rarely used Slavic name until the Czech-born ex-Mrs. Trump took it over the top. Daughter's name Ivanka adds a dollop of charm.

It's far cooler to drop the first syllable and go for Elle.

Siân is a Welsh feminine name, representing the Welsh form of Jane, which ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious.' The circumflex accent over the 'a' indicates a long vowel sound, pronounced similar to 'shahn.' This name is particularly popular in Wales and among Welsh families worldwide. Siân gained some international recognition through cultural exchanges but maintains its strong Welsh identity. The name's simplicity, combined with its rich cultural heritage, makes it appealing to parents looking for a name with authentic Celtic roots. In Wales, it has been consistently used throughout the decades, representing a connection to Welsh language and tradition while remaining contemporary.

Relic of a past period of French favorites, out to pasture with Claudette and Paulette.

Lovely Irish name which has inspired many Anglicized variations, but using the original form preserves the integrity of one of the most beautiful Gaelic girls' names.

Siana is a beautiful feminine name with cross-cultural connections. It may be a variation of Siana (pronounced see-AH-na), which has Welsh origins meaning 'God is gracious.' Alternatively, it could be related to the Italian name Siena, after the Tuscan city, or could be a form of Shana, which has Hebrew roots meaning 'beautiful.' In some Polynesian languages, particularly Hawaiian, similar names can mean 'light' or 'divine.' The name features a pleasing combination of soft sounds that flow naturally together. While not among the most common names, Siana has maintained a steady presence in various cultures and has seen modest usage in English-speaking countries. Its international appeal, gentle sound, and positive meanings make it an attractive choice for parents seeking a name that is distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell.

Shawn is one name that's become less unisex and more distinctly male over time in all its spellings, given to only 14 baby girls and over 500 boys in the US in the most recent year counted. But at its peak in the early 1970s, it was a Top 200 baby name for girls in the US, given to nearly 2000 baby girls... and 12,000 boys in this spelling alone.

Jenica might work if you can't decide between Jennifer and Jessica. It's certainly a more distinctive option.

Has lost all trace of its French accent.

High-profile First Daughter Trump bears a nickname for her mother's name, Ivana. But though quite common in Slavic countries, and despite its international appeal, Ivanka is likely to remain a Singe-Celebrity name in the US — the Oprah of the political world — for the foreseeable future. Ivanka's larger impact on names may be inspiring parents to name their daughters after their moms.

This spin on the popular Hannah is widely-used in Europe and pronounced similarly to Hannah. It may also be a short form of Johanne, from John/Joan.

A Scandinavian short form of Johanna, properly pronounced with a Y sound at the start, but would likely be read as the more prosaic "John-a" in an English-speaking context.

Simple and pretty and user-friendly, the Welsh Sian was used by U2's Dave "the Edge" Evans for his daughter. In Welsh, it is also spelled Siân.

Pervasive in all Spanish-speaking cultures, Juanita, like Juana, has not emigrated.

A variant of Johanna.

Janiyah’s star is definitely fading, but it will likely remain in the Top 1000 for years to come.

With its upbeat Slavic/Scandinavian air, it has the most potential of all the Jan names.
