AerieEerie's list of names
- Tibbie
Origin:
Diminutive of ElizabethMeaning:
"pledged to God"Description:
An old-fashioned nickname that hasn't been heard in ages--Cute and unusual, but lacking the legs to stand on its own. Maybe save it for your kitten.
- Aidy
Origin:
Diminutive for AidanDescription:
Appealing comedian Aidy Bryant -- born Aidan -- put this energetic nickname on the map when she joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2012. Each of the years since then has seen a handful of baby girls given Aidy as a full name. Which makes sense: It combines the elegance and trendiness of the whole Ada/Adaline/Adelaide family with the retro (almost rockabilly?) appeal of names like Hattie. Expect to see it more going forward as Bryant's star continues to rise.
- Aldwin
Description:
Aldwin is a distinguished masculine name of Old English origin, combining the elements 'eald' meaning old or wise and 'wine' meaning friend. This creates the meaningful interpretation of 'old or wise friend.' The name carries a classic, somewhat aristocratic quality reminiscent of medieval England. While never extremely common, Aldwin has persisted throughout history, occasionally experiencing small revivals. It shares etymological roots with names like Alvin and Edwin but maintains its own distinct character and heritage. In contemporary usage, Aldwin appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth, noble associations, and a slightly uncommon status. Its connection to wisdom makes it particularly meaningful for those valuing intellectual traditions.
- Poe
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"peacock"Description:
Hip new middle-name choice, conjuring up the gothic tales of Edgar Allan, and current single-named pop singer Poe. As a first name, it's radically underused, given last year in the US to only five baby boys and no baby girls.
- Yael
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"ibex"Description:
Yael is an Old Testament name often heard in Israel that could work well here: just remember that it's pronounced with two syllables...it is also spelled Ya'el. In the Bible she was a Kenite woman in the time of Deborah who killed the enemy general, Sisera.
- Anona
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"corn, grain"Description:
Name of the Roman goddess of harvest and grain, appropriate for a fall baby. And a palindrome too!
- Mayim
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"water"Description:
This Hebrew water name has two main popular associations: Mayim Bialik, who played the title role in the early 90s TV series "Blossom," and the popular Israeli folk dance, "Mayim, Mayim."
- Elvinea
Origin:
Variation of Elvin or Elvina, Swedish, Norwegian, Old EnglishMeaning:
"elf friend"Description:
Elvinea is a magical feeling choice, part Elva, part Linnea, and part Elvin, with a meaning that links it to the mystical.
- Sibylline
Description:
Sibylline is a rare feminine name derived from the ancient Greek word 'sibylla,' referring to female prophets or oracles in the ancient Mediterranean world. These women were believed to possess powers of prophecy and divine inspiration. The term later gave rise to the more common name Sibyl or Sybil. The addition of the suffix '-ine' creates an elegant, sophisticated variation with a French-inspired flair. Sibylline carries strong associations with wisdom, foresight, and mystical knowledge. Though extremely uncommon as a given name, it possesses literary and historical richness that may appeal to parents drawn to names with classical roots and profound meanings related to wisdom and intuition.
