These are my favourite girls first names that i would use for my future children
  1. Aja

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Aya or Hindi

    • Meaning:

      "goat"

    • Description:

      Sounds like and is often confused with Asia, though it has an air of retro cool via the seminal Steely Dan album. Or, pronounced eye-ah, it can be an alternate spelling of the international favorite Aya.
  2. Amalia

      German

    • Meaning:

      "work"

  3. Arielle

      French variation of Ariel

    • Meaning:

      "lion of God"

    • Description:

      While not as popular as the Ariel spelling of Little Mermaid fame, this rendition has achieved popularity in its own right.
  4. Bailey

    • Origin:

      Occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "law enforcer, bailiff"

    • Description:

      Bailey -- a jaunty surname -- was first used for a female TV character in 1978 in the show WKRP in Cincinnaati, then caught on big time. Bailey's still an appealing choice, though, and a celebrity fave. Parents of daughters named Bailey include Scot Baio and Stella McCartney.
  5. Billie

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Wilhelmina, Wilma

    • Meaning:

      "resolute protection"

    • Description:

      Billie is a tomboy nickname name, part of the growing trend for using boyish nicknames for girls and now destined for stardom along with its most famous contemporary bearer, music sensation Billie Eilish.
  6. Charlie

    • Origin:

      English diminutive of Charles or Charlotte, French from German

    • Meaning:

      "free man"

    • Description:

      Charlie is a friendly, boyish nickname name now used slightly more frequently for girls than boys, with over 2200 baby girls named Charlie last year versus about 2100 boys. That makes Charlie one of the most evenly-balanced and most popular unisex names around today.
  7. Daisy

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Margaret or flower name, English

    • Meaning:

      "day's eye"

    • Description:

      Daisy, fresh, wholesome, and energetic, is one of the flower names that burst back into bloom after a century's hibernation. Originally a nickname for Margaret (the French Marguerite is the word for the flower), Daisy comes from the phrase "day's eye," because it opens its petals at daybreak.
  8. Ela

    • Origin:

      Turkish

    • Meaning:

      "terebinth tree"

    • Description:

      A sweet, simple mini-name that fits into many cultures. The only drawback is the potential for confusion with Ella, Ayla, and other similar names.
  9. Elle

    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "she"

    • Description:

      Combine the charming heroine of the movie Legally Blonde with supermodel Elle Macpherson and the trend toward all names beginning with "el"—Ellie, Ella, Eleanor—and you have one hit name.
  10. Eve

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "life"

    • Description:

      Eve, the oldest name in the Book, is now coming back into style, having the virtues of simplicity and purity, yet with more strength and resonance than other single-syllable names like Ann. British actor Clive Owen chose Eve for his daughter, as did Jessica Capshaw.
  11. Elijah
    • India

      • Origin:

        Place name, from the River Indus

      • Description:

        Euphonious and long stylish in England, India was one of the fastest-rising names on the 2013 list, after jumping 240 spots back into the Top 1000.
    • Indiana

      • Origin:

        American place-name

      • Meaning:

        "land of the Indians"

      • Description:

        Indiana is one of those place-names (think Camden and Trenton) that sounds cooler than the place that inspired it. Its fashionable -ana ending certainly sounds eminently name-like, and Indie/Indy/Indi is one of the hottest nickname names for girls right now.
    • Indie

      • Origin:

        Short form of India, Indigo etc

      • Description:

        Indie is an independent-sounding nickname name that is in the Top 100 in Wales. As a diminutive, it's growing in popularity -- along with indie films, indie publishing -- and the reason some parents are choosing names like India and Indigo. The Indie version seems more feminine, while Indy as in Indiana Jones tends toward the boyish.
    • Indiya

      • Description:

        Indiya is a feminine name that serves as an alternative spelling of India, referring to the South Asian country known for its rich cultural heritage and ancient civilization. This spelling variation with a 'y' gives the name a more stylized, modern appearance while maintaining its pronunciation. The name evokes the exotic beauty, spirituality, and vibrant diversity associated with India. As a place name used for people, Indiya connects to a trend of geographical names that began gaining popularity in Western countries during the late 20th century. While less common than the standard spelling, this variant offers a slight uniqueness while still being recognizable and easy to pronounce.

    • Jorja

      • Origin:

        Modern American phonetic spelling of Georgia

      • Description:

        This simplified form of the lovely name Georgia was spotlighted by the actress Jorja Fox, and seems to be making inroads; rocker Bret Michaels chose it for his daughter. Still, we'd opt for the traditional spelling.
    • Jeorgia
      • Kennedy

        • Origin:

          Irish

        • Meaning:

          "misshapen head"

        • Description:

          This attractive surname name still projects that Kennedy family charisma. While it didn't come into widespread use until long after the deaths of martyred heroes President John F. or Senator Robert Kennedy, Kennedy is now one of the most popular unisex names for girls as well as the top girls' name starting with K. This is one name that manages to sound trendy and classic at the same time.
      • Kenzie

        • Origin:

          Short form of Mackenzie, Scottish

        • Meaning:

          "son of Kenneth"

        • Description:

          Take away the Mac and what do you have? Rather than "son of Kenneth," the meaning becomes simply Kenneth, which in itself means son of fire or handsome.
      • Kiana

        • Origin:

          Modern invented name

        • Description:

          Kiana (or more appropriately, Quiana) is the original polyester name, coming into favor in the 1970s but then drifting downward for years before taking a surprise turn back up the charts, perhaps thanks to its resemblance to the popular Keanu.
