  1. Angela
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "angel"
    • Description:

      Angela was a Top 10 name from 1965 to 1979, the fifth most popular name for three years, and staying in the double digits until the turn of the 21st century. Today, though, Angelina or Angelica would be more fashionable options.
  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. Alloc
    • Argalia
      • Astolfo
        • Ayin
          • Benjamin
            • Origin:

            • Description:

              Benjamin is a biblical name that has enjoyed widespread favor for decades, ranking in the US Top 50 for almost half a century and the Top 10 from 2015 until 2023.
          • Bono
            • Origin:

              Italian surname
            • Description:

              Association with the Irish singer-activist and the good things conjured up by the syllable 'bon', could inspire some parents to consider this name.
          • Boris
            • Origin:

              Slavic
            • Meaning:

              "to fight"
            • Description:

              Boris is one of the old Russian names being revived by chic Europeans; it hasn't quite made a comeback yet in the U.S., but it does have potential.
          • Bada
            • Carmen
              • Origin:

                Spanish variation of Carmel or Latin
              • Meaning:

                "garden or song"
              • Description:

                Carmen has long been associated with the sensuous, tragic heroine of Bizet's opera, based on a novel by Prosper Merimee; more recently it has called to mind two other bombshells: Carmen Miranda (born Maria) and Carmen Electra (born Tara), as well as the great jazz singer Carmen McRae. In the celebrity baby name world, this classic Spanish name for girls was used by Hilaria and Alec Baldwin for their oldest daughter.
            • Cecil
              • Daniel
                • Origin:

                  Hebrew
                • Meaning:

                  "God is my judge"
                • Description:

                  Daniel is one of only a handful of male names that sounds both classic and modern, strong yet approachable, and popular but not cliched. It also has a solid Old Testament pedigree. The only real downside: There are about 10,000 Daniels named each year, making it a less than distinctive choice.
              • Denis
                • Origin:

                  French from Greek
                • Meaning:

                  "god of Nysa"
              • Dino
                • Origin:

                  Italian, diminutive of any name ending in -dino
                • Description:

                  Italian heritage name. It's sweet and simple, but has fallen almost out of use since its heyday in the 1960s.
              • Dalloc
                • Eileen
                  • Origin:

                    Scottish variation of Evelyn
                  • Meaning:

                    "desired; or water, island"
                  • Description:

                    The Scottish Eileen was a midcentury darling that was on a long downward slide for decades. And then, in 2012, it took an unexpected pivot and has been inching upward in the US. The unrelated but similar-sounding Isla may have revived the taste for Eileen. Isla along with Lee and Lena might be nicknames for Eileen. Eileen is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Eibhlin or Aibhilin, which is technically a form of to Evelyn/Aveline, but is also sometimes considered part of the Helen family of names. Aileen is the Irish version, less popular now than Eileen.
                • Elena
                  • Origin:

                    Spanish, Italian, German, Greek variation of Helen
                  • Meaning:

                    "bright, shining light"
                  • Description:

                    Elena is at its most popular point ever in the US, thanks to its cross-cultural appeal and the overall popularity of El- names. It's more international than Ellen or Eleanor, but still accessible.
                • Elijah
                  • Enoch
                    • Origin:

                      Hebrew
                    • Meaning:

                      "dedicated"
                    • Description:

                      A major figure in the Old Testament, Enoch was the son of Jared, the father of Methuselah, and the great-grandfather of Noah whose Book of Enoch provides a focal point for ancient Jewish mysticism. Another Enoch was the son of Cain. "Enoch Arden" is a famous poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. On the negative side, British politician Enoch Powell gave the infamously racist Rivers of Blood anti-immigration speech, taking the name out of consideration for many parents in the UK.
