My faves =]

  1. Bria
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Briana or Gabriella
    • Meaning:

      "hill, high; God is my strong man"
    • Description:

      Sweet and sparky but maybe a little bit stuck in the 90s for some, Bria is a nickname-y style choice with various origins.
  2. Carter
    • Origin:

      English occupational name
    • Meaning:

      "cart maker or driver"
    • Description:

      One of the surname names for boys on its way to becoming unisex, this name broke into the Top 1000 for the first time in 2013 for girls. While it sounds masculine to us, because of its two-syllable er-ending sound so trendy with boys’ names, many parents apparently disagree.
  3. Mikaela
    • Origin:

      Swedish and Finnish variation of Michaela, Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "who is like God"
    • Description:

      Variation of Michaela often used in Scandinavian countries. Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison's formal name is Mkaela, spelled this way. Mikaela is a Top 20 name in Puerto Rico.
  4. Vittoria
    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Victoria, Latin
    • Meaning:

      "victory"
    • Description:

      An appealing Italianate alternative to the classic queenly Victoria, though in Anglophone countries it will be forever misunderstood as Victoria. Could be an appealing long form for a girl called not Vicky or Tory but Vita.
  5. Rikki
    • Origin:

      Feminine variation of Richard
    • Description:

      Ricki has also been used, but like Vikki and Nikki, Rikki has also had its day.
  6. Karissa
    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Carissa
    • Description:

      Both Karissa and Carissa are trending downward, along with the other issa names that first rose to popularity in the 1970s. Karissa fell out of the Top 1000 in 2014, two years after Carissa.
  7. Maci
    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Macy
    • Meaning:

      "from Massy"
    • Description:

      Maci, the name of one of television's Teen Moms, was one of the fastest rising girl names in the U.S. back in 2010. It is now more popular than the department store Macy spelling, but less popular than Macie.
  8. Terra
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "earth"
    • Description:

      A video-game import (Final Fantasy VI) for a character with green hair and a name that brings the outmoded Terry and Tara into the postmodern age.

  9. Stacia
    • Origin:

      Short form of Anastacia or Eustacia
    • Description:

      This short form can stand on its own, perhaps because of the familiarity of Stacy, of which it may also be a variation. But Stacia feels somehow more modern and stylish than 60s-style Stacy. Stasia is another way to spell it.
  10. Damen
    • Origin:

      Variation of Damien, Greek
    • Meaning:

      "to tame, subdue"
    • Description:

      Damen has an undeniably demonlike quality, whether from its association with the Damien Omen 2 horror franchise or its similarity to the word demon. Actor Matt spells his surname Damon, and there's also Shark Tank's Daymond John.
