Penny
- Origin:
  English, diminutive of Penelope
- Description:
  Like Peggy and Patsy, the kind of zesty moniker young Judy Garland would sport in her early let's-put-on-a-show flicks. It fell out of favor (and the Top 1000) for a while, but has recently rebounded by reentering the charts in 2013. Expect it to continue gaining traction on the heels of Penelope.
Oceana
- Origin:
  Greek
- Meaning:
  "ocean"
- Description:
  If you're a lover of the beach and sea, and want a name that relates to the largest body of water, there are several variations you could consider.

Georgette
- Origin:
  French, feminine variation of George
- Description:
  Has a musty 1940s feel. Try Georgia -- or Georgiana.
Aurelle
- Description:
  Aurelle is a feminine name of French origin, derived from the Latin "aureus" meaning "golden." It's a variation of names like Aurelia or Aurelie, carrying similar connotations of radiance, precious value, and luminous beauty. The name suggests sunshine, warmth, and a golden disposition. Though not widely used, Aurelle has a timeless elegance that appeals to parents seeking a name with classical roots but a distinctive sound. Its French heritage gives it a sophisticated quality, while its connection to gold and light creates positive associations. The name remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving children named Aurelle a sense of individuality while still bearing a name with historical depth.
