Names for girls that I found that you might like! There are a bunch of different ones, I like them all.
  1. Arina

    • Origin:

      Variation of Irina, Russian from Greek

    • Meaning:

      "peace"

    • Description:

      This form of Irina supersedes the original in its native country.
  2. Aryelle

    • Description:

      Aryelle is a modern feminine name that blends elements of Ariel with the popular '-elle' ending. While not having ancient historical roots, it emerged in the late 20th century as a creative variation. The name has celestial and angelic associations, as 'Ariel' appears in biblical and literary contexts representing an angel or spirit. Aryelle has gained moderate popularity in recent decades among parents seeking names with a contemporary, melodic sound. The double 'l' spelling adds a distinctive touch to differentiate it from the more traditional Ariel. With its soft sounds and ethereal quality, Aryelle conveys a sense of beauty and uniqueness while remaining accessible and recognizable.

  3. Ashira

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

  4. Artura

          • Brenna

            • Origin:

              Feminine form of Brennan

            • Meaning:

              "descendant of the sad one"

            • Description:

              Brenna is a feminine form of the Irish surname Brennan, or perhaps a variation of Brenda or Brendan—all of which have different meanings. Whatever its derivation or authenticity, it's a modern sounding name which has steadily decreased in popularity since 1995 when it peaked at Number 235 in the United States.
          • Catlee
            • Hadley

              • Origin:

                English

              • Meaning:

                "heathery field"

              • Description:

                Hemingway readers will recognize this as the name of Papa's first wife (and, eventually, actress Mariel's grandmother). But in Victorian times, Hadley and Hedley were actually more popular for boys.
            • Jocasta

              • Origin:

                Greek, meaning unknown

              • Description:

                Jocasta is a mythological name fashionably used in England, but mostly ignored here. She was the mother of Oedipus, King of Thebes, whom he (oops) unwittingly married. If you can ignore that small error in judgment, you'll find an interesting and attractive J name that's neither overused nor terminally dated.
            • Jaiyana
              • Keely

                • Origin:

                  Irish

                • Meaning:

                  "slender"

                • Description:

                  Keely is well-used in modern Ireland, also found as Keeley and Keela. The boys' form is Keelan. Largely unknown in the US, this could make an interesting update for Kelly or Kaylie or Kylie -- though it might ultimately prove to close to one of those trendy names.
              • Lyra

                • Origin:

                  Greek

                • Meaning:

                  "lyre"

                • Description:

                  Lyra is a name with ancient and celestial roots that's finding new popularity thanks to its starring role in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, seen in the movie The Golden Compass. Simple yet unique, Lyra hits the sweet spot between too popular and too unusual.
              • Lisey
                • Mercy

                  • Origin:

                    English word name

                  • Meaning:

                    "compassion"

                  • Description:

                    The quality of mercy makes this lovely Puritan virtue name a quiet favorite today. Although it was most popular in the late nineteenth century, Mercy is on its way to a comeback -- it rose 143 spots between 2012 and 2013, making it one of the year's fastest-rising names. Right now, it's still stylish and distinctive, a rare and wonderful combination.

                  • Origin:

                  • Description:

                    A pretty and unusual path to the nickname Mira. Mira is the main character in Nobel Prize-winner Federico Mistral's poem of the same name. Mireya Moscoso was Panama's first female president.
                • Natasha

                  • Origin:

                    Russian diminutive of Natalya

                  • Description:

                    Natasha, an appealing, still unusual name, entered the American mainstream post-Cold War but seems to have peaked in the eighties, replaced by the more straightforward Natalie. As is common for Natashas the world over, the Obamas shorten their Natasha's name to Sasha.
                • Nyssa

                  • Origin:

                    Greek

                  • Meaning:

                  • Description:

                    A fairly common Greek name that would fit in well here.
                • Ranna

                  • Description:

                    Ranna is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. In Sanskrit, it means 'queen' or 'delightful,' suggesting nobility and charm. In Finnish, it refers to 'shore' or 'beach,' evoking natural beauty and serenity. The name also has Arabic roots, where it can mean 'to look at' or 'to gaze.' In some Persian contexts, Ranna connects to concepts of color and beauty. While not widely common in Western countries, Ranna has maintained steady usage in parts of India, Finland, and Middle Eastern countries. Its brevity and melodic quality, with the soft double 'n' sound, make it appealing to parents seeking a name that's both distinctive and easy to pronounce across cultures.
