  1. Amerie

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Description:

      Pop princess Amerie is half Korean, half African-American. Her name may relate to Amelia, Emily, Emery, or Amory, though there's no exact equivalent among historical names. But doubtless there will be more Ameries, starting now.
  2. Aubrey

    • Origin:

      English from French version of German Alberic

    • Meaning:

      "elf ruler"

    • Description:

      Almost like a fusion between vintage Audrey, bubbly Ruby, and unisex Avery, Aubrey has been a popular choice for girls since the mid 2000’s.
  3. Audrey

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "noble strength"

    • Description:

      Audrey is one of the girls' names that have been rising due to their connection to Old Hollywood glamour — in this case the eternally chic and radiant Audrey Hepburn. Audrey has another very different appeal as one of the elite group of girl names that mean strong, brave, or powerful.
  4. Avalon

    • Origin:

      Celtic

    • Meaning:

      "island of apples"

    • Description:

      Avalon, an island paradise of Celtic myth and Arthurian legend--it was where King Arthur was taken to recover from his wounds-- and also the colorful capital of the California island of Catalina-- makes a heavenly first name. Actress Rena Sofer and British musician Julian Cope used it for their daughters.

    • Champagne
      • Chicada (mn)
        • Cianna
          • Dorinda/Dondria
            • Jayde

              • Origin:

                Spelling variation of Jade

              • Description:

                This creative spelling of Jade adds in the trendy y, but it remains much less popular.
            • Kyndra

              • Description:

                Kyndra is a feminine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Kendra. While Kendra originated as a feminine form of Kenneth, meaning 'handsome' or 'born of fire' from Gaelic and Scottish origins, Kyndra emerged as a more distinctive alternative in the late 20th century. The replacement of 'e' with 'y' adds a contemporary touch while maintaining the name's melodic sound. Kyndra gained modest popularity in North America during the 1970s-1990s, appealing to parents seeking recognizable yet uncommon names. The name conveys a sense of strength and individuality while still having familiar roots. Its appeal lies in striking a balance between uniqueness and accessibility for girls.

                Mila is a popular name that took a 125 year nap, ranking in the Top 1000 in 1881 and then not ranking again until 2006, after actress Mila Kunis appeared on That 70s Show.
