Girls' names I like (:

  1. Luca
    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Luke and Lucas, Hungarian variation of Lucia
    • Meaning:

      "light; man from Lucania"
    • Description:

      Very much a boy's name in Italy, it's beginning to be seen as a unisex possibility here: actress Jennie Garth used it for her daughter, as did influencers Alyssa and Dallin Johnson, When spelled Lucca as in the Italian city, it can also be considered one of the place names along with Venezia, Roma, and Milana that make great Italian names for girls.
  2. India
    • Origin:

      Place name, from the River Indus
    • Description:

      Euphonious and long stylish in England, India was one of the fastest-rising names on the 2013 list, after jumping 240 spots back into the Top 1000.
  3. Bridie
    • Origin:

      Irish diminutive of Bridget
    • Meaning:

      "strength or exalted one"
    • Description:

      Swap two letters of Birdie and you get Bridie, a traditional diminutive of Bridget. Bridie fits perfectly with the trend for standalone vintage nicknames like Betty and Sadie, but is surprisingly rare.
  4. Annelise
    • Origin:

      Danish variation of Anneliese, German, Dutch
    • Meaning:

      "grace + oath"
    • Description:

      A streamlined version of Anneliese, or perhaps a hybrid of Ann and Elise.
  5. Scarlet
    • Origin:

      Color name
    • Description:

      The Scarlet spelling makes it less a name, less Gone With The Wind and Scarlett Johansson, and more the bright red color that inspired it in the first place.
  6. Amethyst
    • Origin:

      Gem and Color name
    • Description:

      As flower names become more unique, so can gem names move beyond Ruby and Pearl to names like Topaz, Sapphire, and Peridot. Amethyst, the purple birthstone for February, has never been in the Top 1000, but could have some appeal, joining similarly-hued Violet and Lilac, all of which make great names for Aquarius babies or names for February babies.
  7. Maybelle
    • Origin:

      Variation of Mabel; combination of May and Belle; "loveable"
    • Meaning:

      "loveable"
    • Description:

      This spelling variation of Mabel clears up the pronunciation — "may-belle", as opposed to "may-bull". Maybelle is packed with Southern charm, and like sister name Mabel is on the rise, but still on a much smaller scale.
  8. Adelise
