An obscure yet on-trend name with two wonderful meanings associated with it. Neoma is one of the freshest celestial girl names with moon-related meanings, rarer than Luna or Phoebe but with the same fluid sound.

A variation of the name Nere, both choices are distinctive and accessible. In the Top 20 in Spain.

More intriguing than the more familiar form Nerida, this name is perfect for a beach baby, or a baby born under a water sign.

This is one of the more unusual examples of a group of Greek names connected to the sea, which makes sense for a nation of coastline and islands. The Nereids or water nymphs were the daughters of sea god Nereus.

A character name that makes an appearance in Shakespeare's King Lear, Nerilla has hardly been heard in modern times. Fewer than five baby girls received the name in the US last year, which places it among the rarest of the rare.

Nerina is a feminine name of Italian origin derived from Nereus, the ancient Greek sea god known as the "Old Man of the Sea." The name literally means "from the sea" or "sea nymph," evoking images of water, mystery, and natural beauty. In Italian poetry, particularly works by Jacopo Sannazaro, Nerina appeared as a poetic name for a shepherdess, adding literary and pastoral associations. The name has maintained steady popularity in Italy and has gained modest international recognition. Nerina features a melodious sound pattern typical of Italian names, with its flowing rhythm and soft ending. The aquatic meaning appeals to parents drawn to nature-themed names, while its Italian roots give it a touch of Mediterranean elegance and sophistication.

A new brand of eyedrop.

An offbeat possible replacement for the overused Melissa and Marisa, Nerissa was used by Shakespeare for Portia's witty confidante in The Merchant of Venice. Queen Elizabeth has a cousin named Nerissa.

Like its cousin Tessa, Nessa -- a shortening of Vanessa or Agnes or Anastasia among other possibilities -- is an attractive nickname that can stand on its own.

If you're looking for a creative way to get to Neve, Nevena is a lovely option with a sweet floral meaning.

Nevia is a feminine name with Latin roots, possibly derived from 'nevis' meaning 'snow' or connected to the ancient Roman clan name Naevius. It may also be related to the Latin word 'novus' meaning 'new.' In Italian, 'neve' means snow, giving the name winter associations. Nevia has a delicate, melodious quality with its soft consonants and flowing vowels. While uncommon in English-speaking countries, it has seen some use in Italy and Latin communities. The name offers an elegant alternative to more popular names like Olivia or Sophia, with a similar romantic sound but greater distinctiveness. Parents might be drawn to Nevia for its classical roots, gentle sound, and relative rarity, providing uniqueness without being difficult to pronounce.

Niamh, derived from the Old Irish Niam, is an ancient Irish name that was originally a term for a goddess. In Irish myth, one who bore it was Niamh of the Golden Hair, daughter of the sea god, who falls in love with Finn's son Oisin and takes him to the Land of Promise, where they stayed for three hundred years. Niamh can be Anglicized as Neve, Nieve, or Neave.

More unusual alternative to Tiara.

More often spelled Nika, this is a well-used diminutive for the Eastern European Veronika, and there's no reason that the same principle can't apply in the West. It makes a venerated saint's name sound fresh and cute.

An interesting and unusual member of the "Nic" family--far more distinctive than NICOLE or NICOLA.

Nikolia is a feminine name that represents a feminine form of Nicholas or Nikolai. It has Greek origins where "Nike" means "victory" and "laos" means "people," together meaning "victory of the people." This variant spelling offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Nicola or Nicole while maintaining the same etymological roots. Nikolia has a multicultural feel, resonating particularly with Eastern European and Greek naming traditions. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, it may be more prevalent in regions with Slavic or Greek influence. The name carries a sense of strength and triumph while its flowing sound gives it a distinctly feminine quality.

Something slightly negative about that Nil beginning; more positive similar names would be Lilla or Willa, Lucilla or Priscilla. Nilla may also be a short form of the Scandinavian Gunilla.

The mythological queen whose perpetual weeping for her slain children turned her into a stone has always cast a pall over this name. Still, when other names with less-than-savory associations -- Delilah, Ophelia, Persephone -- are becoming popular, parents might want to consider this one of the more unusual mythology names for girls.

Niria is the female equivalent of Nir and may also be found as Nira. This simple, pleasant name has an earthy meaning.

Pretty name that hit the popularity charts in England in the late 1990s.
