My Baby Girl

  1. Alenna
    • Elora
      • Origin:

        Variation of Eliora
      • Description:

        While the etymology of the name is unclear, it's most likely a contraction of Eliora or Elnora. Despite the uncertain heritage, it's a winning construction, based on its El- prefix, the feminine three-syllable flow, and the a ending. It debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2015.
    • Isabela
      • Origin:

        Spelling variation of Isabella
      • Description:

        One fewer L makes this name much less popular than the more traditional spelling.
    • 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".
    • Maya
      • Origin:

        Greek; Central American Indian empire name; Latinate variation of May; Spanish, diminutive of Amalia; variation of Maia; Hebrew
      • Meaning:

        "water"
      • Description:

        Maya, which has an almost mystical image, has been steadily climbing in popularity in the US and the English-speaking world, along with a range of other countries, including France, Germany, Israel, and Brazil. It's ranked in the US Top 100 since the turn of this century, but has never risen to the top of the list, which you may consider a good thing.
