My faves =]
- Maci
Origin:
Spelling variation of MacyMeaning:
"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.
- Bria
Origin:
Diminutive of Briana or GabriellaMeaning:
"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.
- Terra
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"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.
- Rikki
Origin:
Feminization of Ricky, English diminutive of Richard or FrederickMeaning:
"dominant ruler; peaceful ruler"Description:
Ricki has also been used, but like Vikki and Nikki, Rikki has also had its day.
- Karissa
Origin:
Spelling variation of CarissaDescription:
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.
- Mikaela
Origin:
Swedish and Finnish variation of Michaela, HebrewMeaning:
"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.
- Stacia
Origin:
Short form of Anastacia or EustaciaDescription:
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.
- Cassia
Origin:
Feminine form of Cassius or GreekMeaning:
"cinnamon"Description:
Cassia is related to the cassia tree, which has yellow flowers and produces a spice that can be a substitute for cinnamon. Keziah, the name of Job’s daughter in the Old Testament, derives from the name of the plant as well. Cassia also has ties to the Ancient Roman name Cassius, an Ancient Roman family name meaning "hollow."
- Damen
Origin:
Variation of Damien, GreekMeaning:
"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.
- Vittoria
Origin:
Italian variation of Victoria, LatinMeaning:
"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.
