    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "king's victory"
    • Description:

      Kinsey enjoyed popularity blip thanks to similarity to Lindsay, and because of Sue Grafton's alphabet mysteries heroine, Kinsey Millhone. Now, Kinsley has become more popular than Kinsey, perhaps because it's more distinct from Mackenzie offshoot, Kenzie.
  2. Quanda
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "queen"
    • Description:

      A bit too close to "quandary" and "queen".
  3. Butterfly
    • Origin:

      English word name

      Fluttery and flighty. But there are a couple of names that mean butterfly you might consider, such as Yara and Farasha.
  4. Cherish

      So sweet it makes our teeth hurt. It has appeared in the US Top 1000 every year since 2006, though it dropped a significant 136 places from 2014 to 2015, and kept dropping to Number 974 in 2016.
  5. Alvina

      English
    • Meaning:

      "elf-friend"

      This variation of the more well known Alvin adds an unusual and feminine touch to the original. It sounds a bit more like what it means--"elf friend."

      English
    • Meaning:

      "small, noble one"

  7. Whisper
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Description:

      In 2014, fifteen newborns were named Whisper, all of them girls. We can see the attraction of the name but if you are in Australia be warned - Whisper is a well-known brand of sanitary products, so a teenaged Whisper will find life more embarrassing than usual.
  8. Alfreda

      English
    • Meaning:

      "elf power,"
    • Description:
