When I pick a name it is usually unique and in order for it to even be put on my list I need to remember it for a while without writing it down, so it’s stayed with me in my head.
  1. Alexa

    • Origin:

      Greek, English

    • Meaning:

      "defending men"

    • Description:

      Alexa was a steadily popular modern classic until Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa was released in 2013. It remains relatively well used in the US despite this, though its standing keeps dropping for obvious reasons. Too bad, because it's a strong and pretty name (which is probably why Amazon used it.)
  2. Amzie
    • Berkeley
      • Christian

        • Origin:

          Greek from Latin

        • Meaning:

          "follower of Christ"

        • Description:

          Long used as a masculine name, when you think about it there is no reason this word name can't be used on a daughter as well as a son. Only about 1 percent of the baby Christians born today are girls, but the name is not unknown for baby girls.
      • 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. In 2024, it burst back into the Top 100 for the first time since 1908.
      • Elyse

        • Origin:

          Variation of Elise or Elysia

        • Meaning:

          "pledged to God"

        • Description:

          Elyse hasn't been heard much since the 80s, but it's beginning to be reconsidered as a possibIlity again, now that it's not so much seen as a Mom name, as it was in the TV show "Family Ties." A spelling variation of Elise, it's another variation of Elizabeth. Many parents today would opt for Eliza.
      • Honor

        • Origin:

          English word and virtue name

        • Meaning:

          "honor"

        • Description:

          Honor is a somewhat more straight-laced virtue name than Hope or Grace, placing a high standard on any girl carrying it, but it's a goal worth setting. By choosing Honor for her daughter, Jessica Alba brought it very much into the modern world.
      • Jacquelin

        • Description:

          Jacquelin is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Jacqueline, the French feminine form of Jacques (James). It ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Jacob, meaning "supplanter." This spelling, without the final "e," gives the classic name a slightly more streamlined appearance while maintaining its French sophistication. Jacquelin gained some popularity in the mid-20th century, partly influenced by the fame of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The name conveys elegance, intelligence, and classic beauty. Though less common than the standard spelling, Jacquelin offers a subtle twist on a familiar name. It carries connotations of refinement and grace while being easily recognizable and pronounceable across cultures.

      • Jade

        • Origin:

          Spanish

        • Meaning:

          "stone of the side"

        • Description:

          As a precious stone, Jade is known for its cool green hues, its importance in Chinese art, and its ability to transmit wisdom, confidence, and clarity. As a name, however, Jade is a 90s throwback in the UK, a Top 5 choice in France, and a returning gem in the US right now.
      • Saige

        • Origin:

          Spelling variation of Sage

        • Description:

          What works for Paige just doesn’t work for Sage. The added i will likely create a lifetime of spelling mistakes.
      • Saylor

        • Origin:

          Surname-name or spelling variation of Sailor

        • Meaning:

          "ropemaker; dancer, acrobat; boatman"

        • Description:

          Currently in the US Top 300, Saylor finds the middle ground between the popular and unisex Taylor, and the more unexpected, wordier Sailor. In fact, it is currently used more often than either of its sound-alikes.
      • Scott

        • Origin:

          English

        • Meaning:

          "from Scotland"

        • Description:

          A cool, windswept, surfer babe-magnet in 1965, a nice dad -- or even granddad -- today.
