Characters

Cerulean
- Origin:
  English color name from Latin
- Meaning:
  "deep sky-blue"
- Description:
  This vivid sky blue color name is at present used mostly for boys, but it is used in such small numbers that it could easily work on any gender. Whimsical and magical, but reminiscent of more established names, such as Ocean, Elowen, Seraphine, and Celestine, Cerulean might just make more appearances in coming years.
Cypress
- Origin:
  Botanical name
- Description:
  Lovely entry into the tree name genre, joining Juniper, Maple, and Willow. Nearly 200 babies were named Cypress in the US last year, about 40 percent of them female.

Faye
Jinx
- Origin:
  Word name
- Meaning:
  "spell, curse, bringer of bad luck"
- Description:
  Jinx, a James Bond heroine name has an ominous meaning but kinetic energy. In the film "Die Another Day," the actual first name of the character played by Halle Berry is Giacinta. It could therefore be a playful nickname to Ginevra, Jessica, Genevieve, Gianna, Josephine, or Georgina, or a bold choice for those wanting some sparky and witchy.
Kassiopeia
- Description:
  Kassiopeia is a feminine name of Greek origin, derived from the mythological figure Cassiopeia, who was a queen in Greek mythology known for her beauty and vanity. The name carries a sense of celestial elegance, as Cassiopeia is also the name of a prominent constellation in the northern sky. While the traditional spelling is Cassiopeia, this variant with 'K' and 'ei' gives it a more unique and modern feel. Though relatively rare in English-speaking countries, Kassiopeia appeals to parents seeking a name with classical roots and mythological significance. It offers memorable nickname possibilities such as Kassi or Peia, combining regal heritage with celestial connections.

Kat
- Origin:
  English diminutive of Katherine, Greek
- Meaning:
  "pure"
- Description:
  We're hearing Kat more and more being used by Katherines who are tired of Kathy, Kate and Katie. Katti or Kattie is another possibility.
Onyx
- Origin:
  Word name
- Meaning:
  "gem stone; claw, nail"
- Description:
  Onyx is a fresh and trending gemstone name for boys, currently in the US Top 500, having climbed the charts rapidly since 2018. Now, an increasing number of girls are receiving the name, with a recent count revealing nearly 200 baby girls were called Onyx in 2023.
Reveka
- Description:
  Reveka is a feminine name representing a variant spelling or cultural adaptation of Rebecca. Rebecca originated from Hebrew רִבְקָה (Rivkah), meaning 'to tie' or 'to bind', and appears in the Bible as the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau. This particular spelling, Reveka, reflects how the name is rendered in some Slavic and Eastern European languages, particularly close to the Greek form Ρεβέκκα (Revekka). While Rebecca remains common throughout the Western world, the Reveka variant is considerably rarer, offering a distinctive alternative with the same rich biblical heritage. The name carries connotations of beauty, wisdom, and maternal strength from its biblical associations.
