Every Character Name I'll Ever Want (Girls)

  1. Blue

    • Origin:

      Color name

    • Description:

      Blue suddenly came into the spotlight, as the unusual color name chosen by Beyonce and Jay-Z for their baby girl Blue Ivy. Blue is also a starbaby middle name du jour, used for both sexes in different spellings and forms, from John Travolta and Kelly Preston's Ella Bleu to Alicia Silverstone's Bear Blu. Dave 'The Edge' Evans named his daughter Blue Angel back in 1989.
  2. Sedona

    • Origin:

      Place-name

    • Meaning:

      "quince plant; like Sidon"

    • Description:

      Sedona is an Arizona city name renowned for its beauty and tranquillity and easily could translate into an agreeable baby name, along the lines of Siena, Sierra, Astoria, and Sidony.
  3. Sequoia

    • Origin:

      Native American, Cherokee

    • Meaning:

      "sparrow"

    • Description:

      This name of a giant tree, itself named for a nineteenth-century Cherokee who invented a way to write his tribe's language, makes a strong, stately statement.
  4. Abilene

    • Origin:

      English from Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "grass"

    • Description:

      Abilene is a rarely used place name, mentioned as such in the New Testament, that combines the cowboy spunk of the Texas city with the midwestern morality of the Kansas town where Dwight D. Eisenhower spent his boyhood. Abilene is a much more untrodden path to the nickname Abbie/Abbie than the Top 10 Abigail.
  5. Briana

    • Origin:

      Feminine variation of Brian

    • Meaning:

      "strong, virtuous, honorable"

    • Description:

      Spelled this way, Briana was coined by Edmund Spenser for his great literary work, The Faerie Queene, which gives the now-overexposed name a far classier pedigree than it's usually credited with.
  6. 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.
  7. Ever

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Meaning:

      "always, eternally, constantly"

    • Description:

      A simple, unusual word name with an evocative meaning, Ever feels similar enough to Eva, Evelyn, and Everly that it shifts easily into name territory. Actor Robert Carradine was ahead of the trends when he named his now grown-up actress daughter Ever back in the 70s, while more recently, it was used by both Milla Jovovich and Owain Yeoman.
  8. Giada

    • Origin:

      Italian

    • Meaning:

      "jade"

    • Description:

      Popular in its native Italy, Giada has been quietly and stylishly used in English-speaking countries for several years now. Television cook Giada De Laurentiis made this a possibility — then semi-subtly self-referenced when she named her daughter Jade.
  9. Sephora

    • Origin:

      French variation of Tziporah, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "bird"

    • Description:

      This lovely name is a softened French version of Tziporah, the biblical wife of Moses. Unfortunately, in the US, it's become attached to the cosmetics franchise.
  10. Clove

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "clove"

    • Description:

      Clove is a spice name that is a tad more piquant than Saffron or Cinnamon. It might get more attention now as a member of The Hunger Games family of names.
  11. Reyna

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Reina

    • Description:

      This variation is actually more popular in the United States than the original Spanish Reina.
  12. Cat

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Catherine, Greek

    • Meaning:

      "pure"

    • Description:

      May be the most modern, stylish Catherine nickname: more unusual than Kate or Cate, with an animal and word name edge. Cat Power is a trendy folksinger.
  13. Kylee

    • Origin:

      Noongar, Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "boomerang; narrow channel"

    • Description:

      Variation of Kylie with the popular suffix -ee. Kylie was popular in Australia in the 1970s and 80s, said to come from a Noongar word for "boomerang". In the US, it has also been used as a feminization of the Scottish male name Kyle.
  14. Kierra

    • Origin:

      American, invented name

    • Description:

      Adding an extra 'R' to Kiera makes it rhyme with the fashionable Sierra. Kierra is a more distinctive choice than Kiera, Keira, or Kyra, all similarly pronounced, but there may be some pronunciation confusion.
  15. Atlanta

    • Origin:

      American place name from Greek

    • Meaning:

      "Atlantic Ocean"

    • Description:

      The capital of Georgia is far from the ocean, but got its name from the Western and Atlantic Railroad which ran through the city. Best known as a hub of industry and transport, and for its roles in the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement, it has never been popular as a baby name despite sounding like one. Its peak popularity was in 1995, the year before Atlanta hosted the Olympic Games.

  16. Corabel

    • Origin:

      Greek and French

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful maiden"

    • Description:

      Corabel is a rare feminine name that derives from a combination of 'Cora,' which has Greek origins meaning 'maiden' and the French suffix 'belle', meaning 'beautiful.' Alternatively, it may relate to the Latin 'cor' meaning 'heart,' suggesting 'beautiful heart.'

    • Catania
      • Mayabel
        • HANALEI
