Names I love a lot but would not really give to a human for whatever reasons.
  1. Journee

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Journey, English word name

    • Meaning:

      "travel or passage from one place to another"

    • Description:

      With Journey becoming increasingly popular, it's no surprise that this alternative spelling is not far behind. However, you may be surprised to learn that in recent years, the Journee spelling has actually passed the original spelling in popularity — Journee is currently in the Top 200. This word name may be appealing to parents attracted to the idea of a spiritual -- or even an actual -- voyage.
  2. Meadow

    • Origin:

      Nature name

    • Description:

      Meadow's upward popularity trajectory certainly suggests that the name has transcended its connection to The Sopranos.. In the US, more than 750 baby girls were named Meadow last year, a number we expect to keep rising.
  3. Shiva

    • Origin:

      Persian

    • Meaning:

      "charming and eloquent"

    • Description:

      In India, Shiva is an unambiguously male name; but in the middle east, Shiva derives from the Persian words for charm and eloquence, and is usually used as a female name.
  4. Tansy

    • Origin:

      Flower name, from Greek

    • Meaning:

      "immortality"

    • Description:

      Tansy is a flower name rarer than Rose, livelier than Lily and a lot less teasable than Pansy.
  5. Xanthe

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "golden, yellow"

    • Description:

      X marks the spot in names these days, usually at the middles or ends of names, but here is one that puts it squarely up front.
  6. Xaverie

    • Origin:

      Feminine variation of Xavier, Basque

    • Meaning:

      "new house"

    • Description:

      Xaverie is a feminine name derived from Xavier, which itself comes from the Basque place name Etxeberria, meaning 'the new house.' Most famously associated with St. Francis Xavier, the 16th-century missionary, the name carries religious significance for many Catholic families.
  7. Xene

    • Description:

      Xene is a rare feminine name with Greek origins, derived from the Greek word "xenos" meaning "stranger" or "foreigner." This distinctive name combines exotic appeal with a simple, two-syllable structure that makes it accessible despite its unusual initial 'X'. The name shares linguistic roots with words like "xenophile" (lover of foreign things) and the prefix "xeno-" relating to foreignness or differences. Xene remains extremely uncommon in most Western countries, appealing to parents seeking a truly distinctive name with ancient roots. The name's combination of exotic quality and brevity gives it a contemporary feel despite its classical origins. Those named Xene typically enjoy having a name that stands out while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce once heard.

  8. Xylia
    • Yaluta
      • Yanaba
