  1. Alvin
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "noble friend, friend of the elves"
    • Description:

      Alvin has a sturdy, no-frills sound that belies its somewhat whimsical meaning. Interesting potential namesakes include British rocker Alvin Stardust, and US footballer Alvin Williams, and African-American dance legend (and activist) Alvin Ailey.
  2. Angelica
    • Origin:

      Italian, Polish, Russian diminutive of Angela
    • Meaning:

      "angel or angelic"
    • Description:

      Angelica is by far the choicest form of the angelic names -- more delicate than Angelina, more feminine than Angel, more modern than Angela. But though Angelica is so lacy and poetic, it lags behind the bolder Angelina (probably for obvious reasons).
  3. Aramis
    • Origin:

      French literary name
    • Description:

      One of Dumas' swashbuckling Three Musketeers, now better known as a men's cologne.
  4. Ava
    • Origin:

      Hebrew, Latin or Germanic
    • Meaning:

      "life; bird; water, island"
    • Description:

      Ava is one of the prime examples of a modern classic name, rising thought the course of a generation into the Top 10, where it has lingered for nearly 20 years.
  5. Athos
    • Balthasar
      • Origin:

        Greek
      • Meaning:

        "God protects the king"
      • Description:

        Balthasar was one of the biblical Three Kings who visited the infant Jesus, also used by Shakespeare and in the oil-rich Getty family; offbeat and intriguing. Balthazar is another, equally appropriate spelling.
    • Beyonce
      • Origin:

        Invented name
      • Description:

        You know who Beyonce is. One of the most famous people in the world. When she was born, her name was truly unique; it was a riff on her mom's maiden name, Biyence, with an accent over the final e.
    • Blossom
      • Origin:

        English
      • Meaning:

        "to bloom"
      • Description:

        Now that parents have picked virtually every name in the garden, from the common Rose to the captivating Zinnia, some are reconsidering the old, more generic names like Flora and Posy and Blossom — which was last in favor in the 1920s and still has a Floradora showgirl aura.
    • Buttercup
      • Origin:

        Flower name, from English
      • Meaning:

        "yellow wildflower"
      • Description:

        Though most Buttercups are of the bovine persuasian, this humble flower name was given to the lovely princess in "The Princess Bride." If Buttercup still feels too lowly for you, you might consider Clover, Daffodil, or Daisy.
    • Bubbles
      • Caspar
        • Origin:

          Persian, variation of Gaspar
        • Meaning:

          "keeper of the treasure"
        • Description:

          After half a century, this otherwise feasible name has at last started to lose its link to the friendly ghost; it certainly didn't scare model Claudia Schiffer, who chose it for her son, as did Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost. Iconoclastic namer Jason Lee switched genders and called his daughter Casper. Also related to the revived Jasper, Caspar seems headed towards the path to a similar resurgence.
      • Celia
        • Origin:

          Latin
        • Meaning:

          "heavenly"
        • Description:

          Celia, splendidly sleek and feminine, is a name that was scattered throughout Shakespeare and other Elizabethan literature, but still manages to feel totally modern.
      • Cordelia
        • Origin:

          Latin; Celtic
        • Meaning:

          "heart; daughter of the sea"
        • Description:

          Cordelia is exactly the kind of old-fashioned, grown-up name for girls that many parents are seeking for their daughters today. The name of King Lear's one sympathetic daughter, Cordelia has both style and substance along with its Shakespearean pedigree.
      • Darcy
        • Origin:

          English from French, d'Arcy
        • Meaning:

          " from Arcy"
        • Description:

          Though Darcy is the ultimate Jane Austen hero name, it is rarely used for boys today though it's on the upswing for girls. A shame as it's a handsome, roguish kind of appellation that combines elements of French flair, aristocratic savoir faire, and a soft Irish brogue. And in terms of image, it's one of the quintessential English names for boys.
      • Elias
        • Origin:

          Greek variation of Elijah, Hebrew
        • Meaning:

          "Yahweh is God"
        • Description:

          Strong, charismatic, and sleek, Elias has followed in the footsteps of Elijah and Eli to become a popular choice among parents today.
      • Eliza
        • Origin:

          Hebrew
        • Meaning:

          "pledged to God"
        • Description:

          Eliza is a name with a wonderful combination of streamlined zest and Eliza Doolittle charm and spunk. It's a classic that's popular right now -- but not too popular.
      • Fauna
        • Origin:

          Roman
        • Meaning:

          "young deer"
        • Description:

          Fauna is the Roman goddess of the earth as well as one of the fairies who protected Disney's "Sleeping Beauty".
      • Flora
        • Origin:

          Latin
        • Meaning:

          "flower"
        • Description:

          Flora, the name of the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, who enjoyed eternal youth, is one of the gently old-fashioned girls' flower names we think is due for a comeback— alongside cousins Cora and Dora. Florence, Fiorella, Fleur, and Flower are translations, but we like Flora best of all.
      • Gretchen
        • Origin:

          German, diminutive of Margarethe
        • Meaning:

          "pearl"
        • Description:

          Like Greta, Gretchen is a German Margaret diminutive that has become an American quasi-classic, though not much used today, having dropped off the list in 2009. She was at her high point in the 1970s, making it into the top 200.
      • Goneril
