Hallelujah

This bold musical word name is given to just a handful of baby girls per year in the US, but it has a very contemporary sound. Hallie and Lou/Lulu would make for more mainstream nicknames. Lovers of the music and lyrics of Leonard Cohen might also appreciate the link to one of his most successful hits.

Pronounced hal-a-LOO-ya.

As of October 2026, Hallelujah ranked #7257 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #5825 in 2021.
