  8. Astoria

    • Origin:

      Place name

    • Description:

      Long more associated with the New York Waldorf- hotel and the neighborhood in Queens than as a baby name, Astoria is finally beginning to emerge from their shadow and find favor with parents looking to move beyond Brooklyn.

    • Meaning:

      "from the lower golden land"

    • Description:

She later saved her city from invaders by dressing local women in men's clothing to give the appearance of greater military might. A year before she died she married Pedro, exiled prince of Portugal.

  11. Avie

    • Description:

      Avie is a charming feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may serve as a diminutive of names like Avery, Avis, or Aviva, or stand as an independent name. In Hebrew contexts, it can relate to 'my father,' while in Latin it connects to 'bird.' Avie has a vintage quality reminiscent of early 20th century nicknames, yet feels fresh to modern ears. Though relatively uncommon, its short, melodic sound fits well with contemporary naming trends favoring brief, vowel-rich names. Avie carries a sweet, gentle quality while maintaining simplicity and elegance. Its versatility crosses cultural boundaries while offering a distinctive alternative to more common names like Ava or Eva.

      Greek

  17. Camille

    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "young ceremonial attendant"

    • Description:

      At one time just the sound of the name Camille could start people coughing, recalling the tragic Lady of the Camellias, the heroine played by Greta Garbo in the vintage film based on a Dumas story, but that image has faded, replaced by a sleek, chic, highly attractive one.

    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Charlotte, French diminutive of Charles

      French variation of Celeste

    • Meaning:

      "heavenly"

    • Description:

      French-Canadian singer Dion made us notice this variation.

Celine is also a newly-chic French fashion label.

  23. Elizabeth

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"

    • Description:

      Elizabeth is one of the most popular girls' names of all time, the female equivalent of James or William. Yet Elizabeth has so much going for it—rich history, broad appeal, and timeless style—that no matter how many little girls are named Lizzie, Eliza, and Beth, you can still make Elizabeth your own.
  24. Eloisa

    • Origin:

      Italian and Spanish variation of Eloise

    • Meaning:

      "healthy; wide"

    • Description:

      Eloisa captures a lovely name back from the spoiled little girl at the Plaza. Historical romance writer Eloisa James has helped make this antique name sound fresh and sassy again.
  25. Elowen

    • Origin:

      Cornish

    • Meaning:

      "elm"

    • Description:

      A beautiful modern Cornish nature name that is rapidly picking up steam in the States: even spawning variant spellings like Elowyn and Elowynn. In its native region, it wasn't widely used as a name before the twentieth century, when the Cornish language was revived. A (currently) unique member of the fashionble El- family of names, it has a pleasant, evocative sound.
  26. Emilie

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Emily; German and Scandinavian feminine form of Aemilius

    • Description:

      Unlike most creative spellings, this one isn't overly trendy or overdone—in fact, it's quite delicate and pretty. However, it is clearly suffering from the plethora of similar names that are flowing around right now (Emelie, Emilia, Emily, Emilee, Amelie, Amelia) and has fallen more than 300 spots since 2013. It might be time for Emilie and her sisters to be left alone for a while.

      English from French and German

    • Meaning:

      "desired; or water, island"

    • Origin:

      Latin female variation of Fabian

    • Meaning:

  29. Fern

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "plant name"

    • Description:

      Of all the botanicals, Fern has been one of the slowest to move back from the front parlor into the nursery, despite the appealing girl character in the children's classic Charlotte's Web. Fern was most popular from the turn of the last century through the 1940s, reaching a high of #152 in 1916. We can certainly see her rejoining the long list of popular greenery names.
  30. Genevieve

    • Origin:

      English from French

    • Meaning:

      "tribe woman"

    • Description:

      Genevieve is derived from the Germanic medieval name Genovefa, or Kenowefa, which consists of the elements kuni, meaning "kin", and wefa, meaning "woman." The medieval saint Genevieve, patroness of Paris, defended the city against Attila the Hun through her rational thinking, courage and prayer.
  31. Grace

    • Origin:

      English, virtue name

    • Description:

      Grace, a simple and pure virtue name which originally referred to divine grace, is a fashionable classic. In the early 2000s, it seemed headed for the Top 10 but pulled back from the upward trajectory, which you may consider a very good thing.
  32. Gretel

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Margarete, German

    • Meaning:

      "pearl"

    • Description:

      Gretel originated as a nickname for Margarete, the German form of Margaret. It’s a charming name, but most American parents prefer Greta, as Gretel is strongly tied to the fairy tale heroine.
  33. Hailey

    • Origin:

      English and Scottish clan name

    • Meaning:

      "Hay's meadow"

    • Description:

      There are no less than ten different variations of Hailey on the current Most Popular list, but this is the spelling that brought it into the Top 10 of 2010, although it has recently dipped a bit in popularity. So, although Hailey has a shiny, unpretentious charm, its mass popularity makes it very much of the moment. Look for the Hailee spelling to rise via Hailee Steinfeld, the young actress Oscar-nominated for her performance in True Grit.
  34. Halle

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name or diminutive of Harald, English or Norse

    • Meaning:

      "Thor's stone"

    • Description:

      Until the beautiful actress Halle Berry inspired hundreds of parents to emulate her name, it was the diminutive Swedish families used for their sons christened Harald. Now, in a complete turnaround, it couldn't be more feminine. It is worth noting, however, that its popularity has fallen dramatically since 2002 when it reached a high of 316.
  35. Hazel

      English

    • Meaning:

      "the hazelnut tree"

      Greek, feminine version of Hermes, "messenger, earthly"

    • Meaning:

      "messenger, earthly"

    • Description:

      Hermione's costarring role in Harry Potter has made this previously ignored, once stodgy name suddenly viable. Hermione could really take off once today's children start having kids of their own.
  37. Hester

    • Origin:

      Medieval variation of Esther, Persian

    • Meaning:

      "star"

    • Description:

      The disgraced heroine of The Scarlet Letter's name, after long neglect, just might have a chance at revival, following in the wake of sister-name Esther. We've characterized her elsewhere as an eccentric aristocrat, much more accepted in the U.K. than she has been here.
  38. Heulyn
    • Iris

      • Origin:

        Flower name; Greek

      • Meaning:

        "rainbow"

      • Description:

    • Isla

      • Origin:

        Scottish place-name or Spanish

      • Meaning:

        "island"

      • Description:

        Isla is a hit name throughout the English-speaking world but hasn't found the same popularity in other western countries, perhaps because its spelling and pronunciation don't make sense for those whose native language is not English. Think island without the final two letters.
    • Jessica

      • Origin:

        Hebrew

      • Meaning:

        "behold or wealthy"

      • Description:

        When Jennifer finally gave up her Number 1 place on the girls' popularity list, her crown was passed to Jessica, who reigned for not one but two decades. Jessica was the Number 1 name in both the mid-1980s and 1990s, never sounding quite as trendy as its predecessor, maybe because of its classic Shakespearean pedigree.
    • Julia

      • Origin:

        Latin

      • Meaning:

        "youthful or sky father"

      • Description:

        Julia was an ancient Roman imperial name given to females in the house of a Julius, as in Caesar. Its origin is shrouded in history, but possible roots include Latin iuvenis, meaning "youthfu"; Greek ioulos, meaning "downy-bearded"; or Jovis, a form of Jupiter, which means "sky father".
    • Juliet

      • Origin:

        English from Latin

    • Kaitlin

      • Origin:

        Spelling variation of Caitlin

      • Description:

        Kaitlin is a variation of Caitlin that's on a steep decline; it dropped out of the Top 1000 in 2013, after more than three decades on the list.
    • Karli

      • Description:

        Karli is a feminine name with Germanic origins, derived from the name Karl, meaning 'free man' or 'strong and manly.' As a feminine variant, Karli adds a soft ending to create a more feminine feel while maintaining the strong roots of its origin. The name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, often seen as a modern alternative to more traditional names like Karly or Carlie. Karli has a youthful, friendly sound that appeals to parents seeking a name that is both distinctive and approachable. While never reaching the highest ranks of popular names, it maintains a steady presence, appreciated for its blend of strength and femininity.

    • Laura

      • Origin:

        English from Latin

      • Meaning:

        "from Laurentum or bay laurel"

      • Description:

        Laura is a hauntingly evocative perennial, never trendy, never dated, feminine without being fussy, with literary links stretching back to Dante. All this makes Laura a more solid choice than any of its more decorative counterparts and one of the most classic girl names starting with L.
    • Leah

      • Origin:

        Hebrew

      • Meaning:

        "weary"

    • Lennox

      • Origin:

        Scottish

      • Meaning:

        "elm grove"

      • Description:

        Lennox is one of the new breed of surname names on the rise as a Scottish name for girls as well as boys. The final x makes the name a bit masculine a la Max and Felix, but female inspirations include Eurythmics' Annie Lennox, Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden, and Lennox Scanlon in sitcom Melissa & Joey.
    • Lettice

      • Origin:

        English variation of Letitia

      • Meaning:

        "joy, gladness"

      • Description:

        Lettice is still occasionally heard in upper-class British families, but we fear it would cause too much salad-green teasing to be considered in the U.S. Calling your little Lettice Lettie could help make the name more user-friendly, or go all the way to the original Letitia.
    • Lilia

      • Origin:

        Spanish, Italian and Russian

      • Meaning:

        "lily"

      • Description:

        Lilia is pretty double L name that makes for sparkly, floral choice with plenty of international flair. More distinctive that Lily, less popular than Liliana, Lia, and Lilian, Lilia was a new entry to the US Top 1000 in 2023.

    • Louisa

      • Origin:

        Latinate feminine variation of Louis

      • Meaning:

        "renowned warrior"

      • Description:

        Louisa, a quaint but strongvintage name, is an example of the idea that these days, old-style girls’ names are more fashionable when they end with an a rather than with an e, as in Julie/Julia, Diane/Diana. So for the next generation, Louisa may rise again, especially with the growing popularity of other Lou/Lu-starting names, like Lucy and Luna. Louisa reentered the US Top 1000 in 2014 after a 45 year absence.
    • Lucy

      • Origin:

        English variation of Lucia, Latin

        Magdala is a feminine name with profound historical and biblical connections. It derives from the ancient town of Magdala on the Sea of Galilee, most famously known as the home of Mary Magdalene, an important figure in Christianity. The place name Magdala has Aramaic origins meaning "tower" or "elevated place." This gives the name a sense of strength and prominence. While never among the most popular names, Magdala has been used sporadically throughout history, particularly in religious communities. It offers a less common alternative to the more familiar Magdalene or Madeline while maintaining the rich historical and spiritual heritage.

    • Maia

      • Origin:

        Greek

      • Meaning:

        "mother"

      • Description:

        Maia was derived from the Greek word maia, meaning "mother." In Greek legend, she was the fair-haired daughter of Atlas who mothered Zeus's favorite illegitimate son, Hermes. To the Romans, Maia was the incarnation of the earth mother and goddess of spring, after whom they named the month of May. Maya is the more common spelling.

        French, diminutive of Margaret

      • Meaning:

        "pearl"

      • Description:

        Margo and Margot sound exactly the same, so why has the Margot spelling hopped back onto the Top 1000, outpacing Margo in numbers more than two to one? (Over 350 baby girls were named Margot in the most recent year, versus 150 named Margo.)
    • Mary

      • Origin:

      • Origin:

        German

      • Description:

        Matilda is a sweet vintage name that has been gently climbing the popularity list for the past 15 years, after a half-century slumber. The spunky children's book heroine Matilda is one factor in its rise, along with others of its class like Eloise and Caspian.

      • Meaning:

        "greatest"

      • Description:

      • Origin:

        Spanish

      • Meaning:

        "gracious gifts, benefits"

      • Description:

        Mercedes is one of the few names attached to luxury living that we can wholeheartedly recommend, it being a legitimate Spanish appellation stemming from one of the epithets given to the Virgin Mary--Santa Maria de las Mercedes, or Our Lady of the Mercies. The car, by the way was named after the eleven-year-old daughter of the Daimler company's French distributor in 1901.
    • Miley
