  1. Cora

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "maiden"

    • Description:

      Cora is a lovely, old-fashioned girls' that has been recently rejuvenated by its contemporary-feeling simplicity. In fact, Cora seemed headed straight for the top of the popularity list when the coronavirus pandemic somewhat weakened its appeal.
  2. Elisabeth

    • Origin:

      German, Dutch, Danish, English, variation of Elizabeth, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"

    • Description:

      This spelling of the classic name is found in France, Germany, Greece, and other cultures, and is worn by such notables as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Elisabeth Shue, Elisabeth Moss, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The name's pronunciation is usually just like the Z version, but some parents choose this because they want to discourage the Liz or Lizzie short forms and so pronounce it as if it has Lisa in the middle.
  3. Evelyn

    • Origin:

      English from French and German

    • Meaning:

      "desired; or water, island"

    • Description:

      After decades of disuse, soft and feminine Evelyn has returned to the baby name stage in a huge way. It reached the Top 10 for the first time in 2017. Evelyn has now surpassed its former heights, joining a legion of contemporary little Evas, Avas, Eves, Evies, and Evelines.
  4. Oliver

    • Origin:

      Germanic, Latin

    • Meaning:

      "elf army; ancestor's relic; olive tree"

    • Description:

      Oliver is an international star, ranking near the top of the charts throughout the English-speaking world and in a host of European and Latin American countries, from Norway to Chile, Slovenia to Switzerland. Why? Because Oliver is energetic and good-natured, stylish but classic, with a meaning symbolizing peace and fruitfulness.
  5. Sebastien

    • Description:

      Sebastien is the French variation of Sebastian, a name with ancient Greek and Latin origins. Derived from the Greek "Sebastianos," meaning "from Sebastia" or "revered," it was historically associated with St. Sebastian, a third-century Roman martyr. This elegant spelling, with the omission of the final 'a,' is particularly popular in French-speaking regions including France, Quebec, and Haiti. Sebastien carries an air of sophistication and European charm while maintaining the strength of the original name. While less common than Sebastian in English-speaking countries, its popularity has grown with increasing appreciation for French naming traditions. The name offers friendly nicknames like Seb or Bastien, combining classical heritage with stylish international appeal.

  6. Tessa

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Theresa

    • Meaning:

      "to reap, to gather"

    • Description:

      Tessa is one of those golden names that's been popular but not TOO popular for several decades now. Tessa has ranked in the Top 500 in the US since 1981 but has risen only once above Number 200.
