    • Chrissie

      • Description:

        Chrissie is a feminine name that functions as a diminutive of Christina or Christine, both derived from the Greek 'Christos' meaning 'anointed one.' Popular throughout the 20th century, particularly in the 1950s-70s, Chrissie has a friendly, approachable quality that resonates as both youthful and timeless. The name gained visibility through notable bearers like singer Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.

    • Camilla
      • Daisy
        • Dinia
          • Gemmina

            • Description:

              Gemmina is a delicate feminine name with Italian and Latin roots. It likely developed as an elaboration of Gemma, which means 'gem' or 'precious stone' in Latin. The '-ina' suffix adds a diminutive quality, giving the name a softer, more endearing feel – essentially meaning 'little gem' or 'little jewel.' While relatively uncommon, Gemmina has an inherent elegance and melodic quality that appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet classically feminine. The name evokes images of preciousness and beauty, with connections to both gemstones and the natural brilliance they possess. Gemmina offers a more elaborate alternative to the increasingly popular Gemma while maintaining its sophisticated European charm.
          • Jasmina

            • Description:

              Jasmina is a feminine name derived from the Persian word 'yasmin,' referring to the jasmine flower known for its sweet fragrance and delicate white blooms. This name variation is particularly popular in the Balkans, especially in Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, where it's considered a beautiful, traditional choice. Jasmina offers a slightly more elaborate alternative to the more common Jasmine while maintaining the floral association and pleasant sound. The name carries connotations of purity, beauty, and grace, reflecting the qualities of its namesake flower. With its international appeal and recognizable roots, Jasmina works well across cultural boundaries while still offering something slightly distinctive. The three-syllable rhythm creates a melodic flow that feels both elegant and approachable.

          • Lilliana

            • Origin:

              Variation of Lillian or Liliana

            • Meaning:

              "lily, a flower"

            • Description:

              While Lillian is the English version of this elaborated flower name and Liliana is the authentic Spanish and Portuguese spelling, Lilliana is a familiar and perfectly usable option in the US.

              • Description:

                This Greek flower and mythological choice doesn't make it into the pantheon of possibilities because of its association with narcissism. But narcissa is December's flower of the month, so Narcissa and Daffodil theoretically make perfect names for December babies.
