Baby Girl 2017

  1. Violette
    • Origin:

      French
    • Meaning:

      "purple"
    • Description:

      Now that Violet is becoming more popular, parents are starting to explore same-but-different options such as the French Violette, which would properly be pronounced with a long e sound in the first syllable and three syllables -- vee-oh-let -- as well as the Spanish Violeta — both of which were among the fastest-rising girl names of 2023.
  2. Arcadia
    • Origin:

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "region offering peace and contentment"
    • Description:

      Arcadia, a name for an unspoiled paradise, makes an attractive secular alternative to Nevaeh or Eden. For parents who want an unusual name with a friendlier nickname, Arcadia has the advantage of cute Cady.
  3. Mirelle
    • Description:

      Mirelle is a delicate feminine name of French origin, often considered a variation of Mireille. The name derives from the Occitan word "mirèio" meaning "to admire" or "wonderful." Mirelle evokes images of elegance and beauty, carrying a distinctly romantic European flair. While not extensively used in English-speaking countries, the name has maintained steady but modest usage in France and French-speaking regions. Its melodic quality and soft pronunciation make it appealing to parents seeking something feminine yet uncommon. The name gained some literary recognition through Frédéric Mistral's poem "Mireille," though the Mirelle spelling variation remains the less common form, giving it a unique distinction.

  4. Verbena
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "sacred foliage"
    • Description:

      This name of a showy, lemony plant makes an unusual entry into the name garden.
