Fantasy Girl Names

  1. Jonquil
    • Origin:

      English flower name, from Latin
    • Meaning:

      "reed"
    • Description:

      Jonquil is an unusual flower name that is less outlandish than Daffodil and less common than Daisy. It just might appeal to parents seeking a singular botanical option.

      Unlike most flower names, Jonquil wasn't introduced until the 1940s, and saw some usage in the U.K. during the forties and fifties.

  2. Ottaline
    • Origin:

      French diminutive of Ottilie
    • Meaning:

      "prospers in battle"
    • Description:

      This name, more often spelled Ottoline, is curiously appealing, in a hoop-skirted, wasp-waisted way; heard more often in novels than real life, though that is showing some signs of change.
  3. Brigita
    • Description:

      Brigita is a feminine name of Celtic origin, representing a variant spelling of Brigid (or Brighid), the name of an ancient Irish goddess associated with poetry, healing, and smithcraft. This particular spelling is most common in Latvia, Lithuania, and other Baltic countries, as well as parts of Eastern Europe. The original name derives from the Celtic word 'brigh' meaning 'strength' or 'virtue.' While not widely used in English-speaking countries, Brigita has maintained steady popularity in its regions of origin. The name carries connections to Saint Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland's patron saints, giving it religious significance alongside its pagan roots. With its strong consonants and melodic quality, Brigita offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Bridget or Brigitte.
