This noble title — the female equivalent of a knight — makes an inventive choice for a daughter. More subtle than Queen or Princess, Dame is a fresh way to get in on the regal word name trend. We know of at least one female Babyberry named Dame, although it's never been given to more than five baby girls in a single year.

Queen has seen a revival in recent times, reaching its record high in 2018 with 280 births — it has remained steady since then. Previously, Queen saw a peak in the 1920s, but its origins go back even further than that. Queen was a noted name among enslaved people in America, along with other royal choices such as Duke, Squire, and Prince.

The q-ending of this common name adds a quirky element.

Appealing, upbeat name used mainly in Spanish-speaking countries.

Sounds like...a Teutonic axe-ruler.

A bit too close to "quandary" and "queen".

Rarely heard surname name that lacks the lightness of other o-ending names.

Kruno comes from the Serbo-Croatian kruna, meaning crown, and is usually a short form of the name Krunoslav. Pronounced like Bruno with a K, it's a cool and internationally undiscovered name that could easily join the stylish -O name family.

A hugely popular choice in France back in the 60s and 70s, Thierry took the number one spot in 1964,though it has since dropped out of the French Top 500. Derived from the Germanic Theodoric (not a relative of Theodore), it shares the same meaning: "ruler of the people".

A possible addition to the international Lil family of names, but having four L's in its four syllables makes it a bit of a tongue twister.

A Latinized (and more wearable) form of the Anglo-Saxon Cwengifu, Queneva is a sparky sounding name that could get you to vintage nickname Queenie, or to the more familiar Evie, Neve, Eva, or even Quin. It's similarity in sound to Jennifer, Guinevere, and Geneva might help this oldy-worldy name fit in. Queniva is another spelling.

Authentic African name that blipped in popularity a few years ago when hip-hop singer Ashanti first arrived on the scene.

An entrancing, beguiling name that goes far to freshen up Sarah.

Saina is related to many other international princess-related names, such as the Arabic Sana and the Hebrew Sarah. It was introduced to the wider world by the Indian Olympic badminton player Saina Nehwal.

A Welsh saint who is the namesake of the village of St Breock in Cornwall, and is also venerated in Brittany. The name is a diminutive of Briafael ("mighty prince"). Variants include: Breock, Bryok, Breok, Briec, Brieuc, Briog.

Lively and joyful. Jovie could be a cute short form.
