Brigitta
- Description:
  Brigitta is a feminine name with rich historical roots, derived from the ancient Celtic name Brighid, meaning 'exalted one' or 'high goddess.' It's the Central European form of Bridget, particularly popular in Hungarian, German, and Scandinavian cultures. The name is associated with Saint Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland's patron saints known for her generosity and compassion. Brigitta gained international recognition through characters in literature and film, including Maria's friend in 'The Sound of Music.' While maintaining its classic origins, Brigitta offers a more distinctive alternative to the more common Bridget or Brigitte, combining ancient Celtic heritage with continental European elegance.
Haven
- Origin:
  Word name, English
- Meaning:
  "a place of safety"
- Description:
  Haven is a recently invented safe-harbor name that appeals to an increasing number of parents who don't want to voyage quite as far as Heaven.

Isadora
- Origin:
  Greek
- Meaning:
  "gift of Isis"
- Description:
  For a long time, Isadora has been overlooked in favor of Isabella, owing perhaps to its association with the tragic modern dancer, Isadora Duncan, or because parents would rather their daughter be a Bella than a Dora. Now, with Theodora back in the charts and vintage names in vogue, Isadora has been slowly gaining more attention over the last decade.
Jemma
- Origin:
  Spelling variation of Gemma
- Description:
  Jenna is overheated, but Jemma is still cool. Jemma and Gemma are most heard in Australia but are increasingly used in other countries.
Marrissa
- Description:
  Marrissa is a feminine variation of the name Marissa, which itself is believed to be a variant of Maris (a Latin name meaning "of the sea") or a form of Mary, with Hebrew origins meaning "bitter" or "beloved." The double 'r' spelling adds a distinctive touch to this elegant name. Marrissa gained some popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but has remained relatively uncommon, giving it a somewhat exclusive quality. The name conveys a sense of gentle femininity and sophistication. Those named Marrissa are often perceived as creative, graceful individuals with a thoughtful demeanor. Although never reaching the top tier of popular names, Marrissa continues to be chosen by parents seeking a melodic name with a classic feel but unique spelling.
