Names for female characters...
  1. Alexandrie

    • Description:

      Alexandrie is a feminine name that represents a French variation of Alexandra, which ultimately derives from the Greek name Alexandros meaning 'defender of mankind' or 'protector of people.' This elegant variation adds a distinctly French flair to the classic name through its ending. While Alexandra and Alexandria are more common internationally, Alexandrie offers a sophisticated European alternative with its soft pronunciation and graceful ending. The name carries the strength and historical significance of its Greek origins while adding a touch of French refinement. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, it may appeal to parents seeking a name with international appeal and classical roots but with a distinctive, feminine quality.

  2. Beatrice

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "she who brings happiness; blessed"

    • Description:

      Beatrice is back. Stored in the attic for almost a century, the lovely Beatrice with its long literary (Shakespeare, Dante) and royal history is being looked at with fresh eyes by parents seeking a classic name with character and lots of upbeat nicknames, like Bea and Bee.
  3. Hero

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "demi-god"

    • Description:

      Despite the possibility of gender confusion, the Hero in Greek myth was a woman. Myleene Klass got that when she chose Hero for her daughter, and Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson used it as their daughter's middle--and we wouldn't be surprised to see more girls with this heroic name.
  4. Jael

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "mountain goat"

    • Description:

      This attractive Old Testament option is the name of a place in northern Israel.
  5. Marjorie

    • Origin:

      Scottish variation of Margery, diminutive of Margaret

    • Meaning:

      "pearl"

    • Description:

      Scottish Marjorie and her English twin Margery were early twentieth century favorites that date back to medieval times, when it was popular among the royals. They were at their height in the 1920s, when they were seen as more lively versions of the old standard. Marjorie was always the preferred spelling, in the Top 25 from 1920 to 1927.
