A list of all of our potential baby names.
- Baker
Origin:
English occupational surnameDescription:
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.
- Hunter
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"one who hunts"Description:
This surname gained momentum in the 1990s, when it was particularly in vogue for males. However, it seems to be experiencing a surge for females—it was one of the fastest-rising names of 2013, jumping 266 spots back into the Top 1000.
- Kolby
Description:
Kolby as a feminine name represents a gender-crossover trend in naming practices. Traditionally used for boys as a variant of Colby (derived from Old Norse elements meaning 'dark farm' or from English place names referring to 'coal town' or 'Koli's settlement'), its adoption for girls reflects the modern tendency to repurpose surnames and masculine names for feminine use. The spelling with 'K' instead of 'C' adds a contemporary twist to the traditional form. While still predominantly used for boys, Kolby has gained some traction as a girl's name among parents seeking gender-neutral options with a modern edge. The name carries a sturdy, practical sound with a friendly 'by' ending that softens its overall impression.
- Laura
Origin:
English from LatinMeaning:
"from Laurentum or bay laurel"Description:
Laura is a hauntingly evocative perennial, never trendy, never dated, feminine without being fussy, with long-standing literary links. 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.
- Norah
Origin:
English, ArabicMeaning:
"woman of honor, light"Description:
The skyrocketing success of singer Norah Jones brought this spelling of the name onto the pop charts in 2003. As well as being a spelling variant of Nora in English, it's also an alternative transcription of the Arabic name Nura, from Nur/Noor "light".
- Piper
Origin:
English occupational nameMeaning:
"pipe or flute player"Description:
Piper is a bright, musical name that entered the list in 1999, one year after the debut of the TV series Charmed, which featured a Piper, and it's been a consistent riser since. Piper Kerman is the memoirist whose prison experiences provided the basis for the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black.
- Scotti
Description:
Scotti is a feminine name that originated as a variation of the Scottish surname Scott, which referred to a person from Scotland. As a given name, Scotti maintains its Scottish heritage while offering a unique spelling with the 'i' ending giving it a more feminine touch. The name conveys a sense of strength and cultural pride. While relatively uncommon as a first name for girls, Scotti appeals to parents looking for something distinctive with cultural roots. It shares similarities with names like Scottie and Scotia, but stands out with its particular spelling pattern. The name has remained rare in usage statistics, making it an uncommon choice that gives its bearer a sense of individuality.
- Scout
Origin:
Word nameMeaning:
"one who gathers information covertly"Description:
Scout, a character nickname from To Kill a Mockingbird (her real name was Jean Louise), became a real-life possibility when Bruce Willis and Demi Moore used it for their now-grown middle daughter, followed by Tom Berenger a few years later.
- Spencer
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"keeper of provisions"Description:
Yes, Spencer makes a plausible and powerful female choice these days, though it's still used four times as often for boys as for girls. But Spencer does not swim that far beneath the Top 1000, used for nearly 250 baby girls last year.
- Willow
Origin:
English nature nameMeaning:
"willow tree"Description:
An ancient tree that figures in literature from Shakespeare to Harry Potter and is believed to possess magical powers, Willow is a lovely name, as graceful as its inspiration.
- Wynter

Spelling variation of WinterDescription:
Less month, more trendy, more times needing to spell it to people. This spelling variation entered the Top 1000 for the first time in 2013—and doesn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon.
