  1. Gemma

    • Origin:

      Italian, Catalonian, Spanish

    • Meaning:

      "precious stone"

    • Description:

      Gemma is a jewel of a name, an Italian classic that was very popular in 1980s England, but has only recently been started to be used here; it entered the list in 2008.
  2. Genevre

    • Description:

      Genevre is a rare feminine name with possible connections to several linguistic roots. It likely represents a variant spelling of Genevieve, which derives from the Germanic name Genovefa, meaning 'woman of the race' or 'tribal woman.' Another possibility is its connection to the French word 'genièvre,' meaning juniper. The name may also be related to Guinevere (from Welsh Gwenhwyfar), the legendary queen in Arthurian tales. Genevre remains extremely uncommon in modern usage, with very few documented bearers worldwide. Its unusual spelling gives it an antique, romantic quality that might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with historical echoes and European flair. Despite its rarity, it maintains an elegant, feminine sound.

  3. Giada

    • Origin:

      Italian

    • Meaning:

      "jade"

    • Description:

      Popular in its native Italy, Giada has been quietly and stylishly used in English-speaking countries for several years now. Television cook Giada De Laurentiis made this a possibility — then semi-subtly self-referenced when she named her daughter Jade.
  4. Giulietta

    • Description:

      Giulietta is the Italian diminutive form of Giulia, which derives from the Latin name Julia, meaning 'youthful' or 'dedicated to Jupiter.' This feminine name carries a distinctly romantic and melodious quality, perhaps best known internationally through Shakespeare's tragic heroine Juliet (Giulietta in Italian versions). The name gained cultural significance through Fellini's film 'Giulietta degli Spiriti' and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta sports car. While consistently used in Italy, it remains relatively uncommon internationally, offering a sophisticated alternative to the more widely used Julie or Juliet with its distinctly Italian flair and elegant pronunciation.
  5. Greer

    • Origin:

      Scottish, contraction of surname Gregor; Latin

    • Meaning:

      "alert, watchful"

    • Description:

      This attractive Scottish surname choice, has a certain amount of glamour thanks to feisty British-born red-haired forties Academy Award winner Greer Garson, who was born Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson--Greer was her Irish mother's maiden name). Greer was chosen much more recently by Kelsey Grammer for his daughter and by Brooke Shields in the Grier form. As a surname, it's associated with feminist writer/activist Germaine Greer.
  6. Guinevere

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "white shadow, white wave"

    • Description:

      Guinevere was the name of the beautiful but ill-fated queen of Camelot, for so many years eclipsed by its modern Cornish form Jennifer. Today, Guinevere could be a cool possibility for adventurous parents intrigued by this richly evocative and romantic choice.
