  1. Baker

    • Origin:

      English occupational surname

    • Description:

      One of the most appealing of the newly hip occupational names, evoking sweet smells emanating from the oven. Much fresher sounding than than others that have been around for a while, like Cooper, and Carter.
  2. Barcley

    • Description:

      Barcley is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Barclay or Berkeley. The name has Scottish and English origins, originally derived from a place name meaning 'birch tree meadow' or 'birch leaf clearing.' As a surname, it has been associated with Scottish clans and English aristocracy before transitioning to occasional use as a given name. The spelling variant with 'ey' rather than 'ay' gives it a slightly softer appearance while maintaining its traditional sound. Though never extremely common as a first name, Barcley has appeal for parents seeking a distinguished-sounding name with historical resonances and a slightly preppy, refined quality.
  3. Beaulah

    • Description:

      Beaulah is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Beulah, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'married' or 'bride.' This name appears in the Bible (Isaiah 62:4) where it symbolizes the restoration of Jerusalem and its rejoining with God. The alternative spelling with an added 'a' gives the name a slightly more elaborate, Southern feel. Beaulah experienced its greatest popularity in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in rural communities. While it declined in usage after the 1930s, it maintains an air of vintage charm and nostalgic appeal. The name evokes images of grace and traditional femininity, often associated with the American South and its literary traditions.
  4. Begonia

    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "Begon's flower"

    • Description:

      Begonia is a pretty flower named for French administrator and amateur horticulturalist Michel Bégon, who was an avid naturalist but also a proponent of slavery. A rare floral choice which has never really caught on as a baby name, Begonia would certainly stand out from the Lilys and Roses.
  5. Bessee

    • Description:

      Bessee appears to be a variant spelling of Bessie, which originated as a diminutive of Elizabeth or more directly from the nickname Bess. The name Elizabeth comes from Hebrew roots meaning 'God is my oath.' Bessee carries a vintage, homespun charm that was more common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This spelling variation is extremely rare, making it a unique choice in modern times. The name evokes images of rural simplicity and grandmotherly warmth. While Bessie saw popularity as a nickname in earlier eras, both Bessie and Bessee have fallen from common usage in recent decades. Parents choosing this name today might be honoring a family member or appreciating its sweet, nostalgic quality and straightforward pronunciation.

  6. Brooks

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "of the brook"

    • Description:

      A nature name, a word name, and a surname name, Brooks has plenty of cool factor. It gives off cowboy vibes and a sporty feel, while also maintaining a smart, collected image.
  7. Brylee

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Meaning:

It peaked back in 2012 when it was given to around 770 babies, but has since been in decline. Given to around 230 girls in a recent year, Brynlee and Oakley are now preferred.
  8. Levi

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

    • Meaning:

      "lion"

    • Description:

  10. Pax

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "peaceful"

    • Description:

      Pax, one of the variations of names meaning peace that are newly popular in these less-than-peaceful times, got a lot of publicity when chosen by Brad & Angelina for their Vietnamese-born son. Parents attracted to Pax may also want to consider Paz, the unisex Spanish version, or Paxton, a growing-in-popularity surname choice that shares that magical X-factor.
