  1. Ava

    • Origin:

      Hebrew, Latin or Germanic

    • Meaning:

      "life; bird; water, island"

    • Description:

      Ava is one of the prime examples of a modern classic name, rising thought the course of a generation into the Top 10, where it has lingered for nearly 20 years.
  2. Eva

    • Origin:

      Latin form of Eve, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "life"

    • Description:

      Eva is a simple, classic Hebrew name for girls that recently slipped out of the US Top 100 for the first time in more than a decade. Pronounced either like her more popular sister Ava or less popular sister Eve, Eva is one of the elite group of girl names that mean life.
  3. Jolee

    • Origin:

      Variation of Jolie, French

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful"

    • Description:

      De-Frenchifies Jolie.
  4. Joleen

    • Description:

      Joleen is a feminine name that emerged as a variation of Jolene, which itself is likely a combination of Jo (from Josephine) and the suffix -leen or -lene. The name gained recognition through Dolly Parton's 1973 hit song 'Jolene,' though this alternate spelling provides a slight distinction. With French and English influences, Joleen carries a soft, melodic quality with its two syllables and smooth sound. The name peaked in popularity during the 1970s but remains relatively uncommon today, making it both recognizable and distinctive. Joleen suggests a balance of sweetness and strength, often associated with a Southern charm partly due to its country music connections.

  5. Rosalee

    • Origin:

      Variation of Rosalie, French

    • Meaning:

      "rose"

    • Description:

      Rosalie has officially been revived, breaking into the Top 200 in 2020. And as with many on-trend baby names, the creative spellings have started to roll in. Rosalee is one such name, that could also be read as a compound of Rosa and Lee, giving it the alternative meaning of "rose meadow" and the potentially to more obviously honor a Lee. It was a fast rising option in 2024, when it entered the Top 1000.
  6. Shirley

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "bright meadow"

    • Description:

      Shirley Temple almost single-handedly lifted the gloom of the Great Depression, and in tribute (and perhaps wishing for a similarly curly-headed, dimpled darling of their own), thousands of parents of that generation gave their little girls her name. In 1935, Shirley was the second most popular girls' name in the country with more than 42,000 babies named Shirley.
