Names I like love or just think are cool

  1. Moon
    • Origin:

      Word name
    • Description:

      The original oddball celebrity baby name, via Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit, who claims she's always liked it.
  2. Orla
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "golden princess"
    • Description:

      Orla is an Irish name closely associated with the high king Brian Boru, as it was the name of his sister, daughter and niece. It was very popular in the Middle Ages – the fourth most popular name in twelfth century Ireland – and has become popular again in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales today. In Irish, the name is commonly spelled Orlaith or Orlagh.
  3. Otter
    • Origin:

      Animal name
    • Description:

      While we don't see many parents adopting Otter as a name for their own babies, Zooey Deschanel put this one in the lexicon when she used it as a middle name for her adorably-named daughter Elsie Otter. Even in the celebrisphere, Otter is one of the most unique baby names we've heard.
  4. Peach
    • Origin:

      Fruit name
    • Description:

      Peach is one of those names that, a generation ago, would have been placed in the wacky celebrity baby name category. But now with the proliferation of word, nature, and yes, food names, Peach sounds adorably baby-ready.
  5. Petal
    • Origin:

      English from Greek
    • Meaning:

      "leaf"
    • Description:

      Petal is the soft and sweet-smelling name of a character in the novel and film, The Shipping News. With the rise of such flower names as Poppy and Posy, we believe Petal — down-to-earth yet romantic — has its own appealingly distinctive style.
  6. Pip
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "lover of horses"
    • Description:

      Cute-as-a-button nickname traditionally derived from Philip or Philippa – but could work for Piper, Juniper or Penelope as well.
  7. Pixie
    • Origin:

      Swedish or Cornish
    • Meaning:

      "fairy"
    • Description:

      Pixie is a cute -- quite possibly too cute -- name that suddenly feels possible thanks to the craze for names that contain the letter x. Though its origin may be uncertain, a pixie is internationally recognized as a sprite or fairy: tiny, sometimes green, usually pointy-eared.
  8. Posie
    • Origin:

      Variation of Posy or short form of Mariposa, English or Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "a bunch of flowers or butterfly"
    • Description:

      Posie and its near-identical twins Posy and Posey are delicate old-fashioned flower names of the type that are stylish today: Think Poppy, Marigold, Clover.
  9. Primrose
    • Origin:

      English flower name
    • Meaning:

      "first rose"
    • Description:

      A quaint and quirky flower name, until recently considered a bit too prim for most American classrooms but brought back to life in recent years by the attractive character of Primrose "Prim" Everdeen in the Hunger Games series. In the Top 300 girl names in England and Wales and on Nameberry, Primrose remains rare in the US, but is made more accessible by a raft of sweet nickname options, including Rosie and Posy.
  10. Saffron
    • Origin:

      Spice name
    • Meaning:

      "orange-yellow color; a type of crocus"
    • Description:

      Spice names are increasingly appealing to the senses of prospective parents; this one, belonging to a precious spice derived from the crocus has a vaguely orange-scented-incense sixties feel.
  11. Silver
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      " a metallic chemical element with atomic number 47"
    • Description:

      Among the first wave of word names used in the hippie era, it actually is a legitimate girl's name with a lot of luster.
  12. Starlet
    • Description:

      Starlet is a feminine English word name that evokes images of both celestial beauty and Hollywood glamour. Derived from 'star' with the diminutive suffix '-let,' it literally means 'little star,' suggesting someone who shines brightly despite being young or small. While the term historically referred to rising young actresses, as a given name Starlet has occasional usage, particularly in the United States since the mid-20th century. This name carries connotations of talent, beauty, and potential for greatness. Unlike the more common celestial name 'Star,' Starlet adds a touch of delicate femininity and charm. It appeals to parents drawn to theatrical or astronomical themes who seek something more distinctive than popular star-themed names like Stella or Estelle.
  13. Suki
    • Origin:

      Japanese or English
    • Meaning:

      "loved one; lily"
    • Description:

      As a Japanese name, Suki has the sweet meaning "loved one". It's also an English diminutive of Susanna, making it a creative and modern way to honor a Susan in your life.
  14. Swan
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "swan"
    • Description:

      Obsolete Swanhild gives way to oh-so-modern Swan, joining the flock of newly fashionable bird names such as Wren and Lark. In France, the Swann spelling is fashionable for both sexes. But Swan carries an image of grace, though perhaps also a bit of languor. It's a lovely and original name, right for our times.
  15. Teddy
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Theodora, Greek
    • Meaning:

      "gift of God"
    • Description:

      Cute boyish short forms like Teddy and Frankie and Billie are in some ways a relic of the past, of the days before unisex names, when girls were given feminized versions of their father's names, but they are starting to come into their own again.
  16. Tigerlily
    • Origin:

      English flower name
    • Description:

      This name of the bright orange flower found in Asia has been used occasionally in English-speaking countries. A notable namesake is Tiger Lily, the Native American princess from Peter Pan. Read more about Tiger Lily and other Disney Princess Names in our featured blog.
  17. Torrance
    • Origin:

      Scottish habitational surname
    • Meaning:

      "from the hillocks"
    • Description:

      Popularized for girls after Kirsten Dunst portrayed high school cheerleading captain Torrance Shipman in the 2000 movie Bring it On. Tori is an easy nickname.
  18. Trixie
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Beatrix, Latin
    • Meaning:

      "she who brings happiness"
    • Description:

      A sassy, spunky name for the bold parent who doesn't remember Mrs. Ed Norton on The Honeymooners or who's into the nicknames-as-given-names trend sweeping the UK and returning to the US.
  19. Tuesday
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "Tiu's Day; Tiw's day"
    • Description:

      When actress Susan Ker Weld changed her name to Tuesday, she opened up a whole calendar of possibilities. This was decades before the arrival of Sunday Rose Urban and years before Wednesday Addams made midweek a possibility.
  20. Tuppence
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "two pence"
    • Description:

      This quirky British nickname-turned- real-name is most famously borne by English actress Tuppence Middleton, who was named for her mother Tina’s childhood nickname. There is also a British literary namesake in Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Tuppence Beresford, whose real name is Prudence.
