Names from Toddlers & Tiaras Season 2

Both powerful and pretty, with a melodic sound, Aaliyah joins Layla, Lila, Dana, and Farrah as a name of Arabic origin that is also popular in the English-speaking world.

Alicia is a Latinized variation of Alice, a name ultimately derived from the German Adalhaidis. It emerged in the 19th century, but the 20th saw many spelling evolutions for Alicia, including Alecia, Alisha, Aleesha, and Alysha. Alyssa originated as a form of Alicia.

Alyssa was in the Top 20 from 1997-2010 and peaked as the 11th most popular girls’ name in 1998 and 1999 but has become less popular in recent years. It's related to the flower alyssum as well as to the classic Alice and variants. Alyssa Milano helped give it a bounce back when she was still a child sitcom star.

Angelle is a feminine name with French origins, essentially serving as the feminine form of 'angel.' Derived from the Greek 'angelos' meaning 'messenger,' the name carries beautiful spiritual connotations of divine protection and purity.

The name has a delicate, feminine quality with its soft ending while maintaining a clear pronunciation. While never extremely common in English-speaking countries, Angelle has maintained steady if modest usage, particularly in families with French heritage or those seeking a name with subtle religious significance. Its gentle sound and meaningful background make it a timeless choice that avoids feeling trendy.
