  1. Emmeline
    • Adaline

      • Origin:

        Variation of Adeline, English

      • Meaning:

        "noble"

      • Description:

        Adaline rocketed onto the Top 1000 for the first time since 1924 in 2015 at a whopping Number 364 -- an astonishing debut. Though similar names, such as Adeline, Adelyn and Ada, have been growing steadily for years, the meteoric rise of this once-unusual spelling is no doubt due to Blake Lively-starring movie "The Age of Adaline," about a woman who stops aging at the age of 29.
    • Adeline

      • Origin:

        French, diminutive of Adele

      • Meaning:

        "noble, nobility"

      • Description:

        Adeline has a lovely, old-fashioned "Sweet Adeline" charm, but has become so popular in the US under so many spellings and variations -- with Adalynn and Adalyn also popular -- that considered together it is far more popular than it first seems. Adorable nickname Addie is also pervasive.
    • Alexandrine

      • Origin:

        French and German variation of Alexandra

      • Meaning:

        "defending men"

      • Description:

        Alexandra is a name with many international variations, elaborations and short forms, and Alexandrine is one of the more unusual. Another, Alexandrina, was the first name of Queen Victoria.
    • Amandine

      • Origin:

        French, diminutive of Amanda

      • Meaning:

        "much-loved"

      • Description:

        This fragrant, almond-scented name has hardly been heard in this country, which is a pity--we've loved it since John Malkovich used it for his now grown daughter.
    • Angeline

      • Origin:

        French variation of Angela

      • Meaning:

        "angel"

      • Description:

        With Angelina becoming so popular thanks to Ms. Jolie, this could be a new twist—but everyone will always misunderstand it as Angelina. While it currently ranks at Number 951 in the US, it's Number 352 in France.
    • Aubine

      • Description:

        Aubine is a feminine French name derived from the masculine Aubin, which comes from the Latin 'albinus,' meaning 'white' or 'fair.' This elegant name carries the delicate charm characteristic of French feminine naming traditions, with its soft sounds and graceful ending. Historically, Saint Aubin was a 6th-century French bishop, lending the name religious associations in Catholic regions. Aubine remains relatively rare even in French-speaking countries, giving it an air of distinction and uniqueness. The name shares linguistic roots with the more familiar Aubrey and Albina. With its melodic quality and subtle vintage feel, Aubine appeals to parents seeking a refined name with French cultural connections without being overly common.

    • Aline
      • Amarine
        • Avaline
          • Brigidine

            • Origin:

              Irish variation of Brighid

            • Description:

              Brigidine is a unique take on Bridget used by singer Sinead O'Connor. But assuming you're not an Irish rock star, you'd probably do better to stop at Brigid.
          • Carine

            • Description:

              Carine is a feminine name with French origins, functioning as a variation of Karina or as a feminine form of Carus, a Latin name meaning "dear" or "beloved." In French-speaking regions, particularly Belgium and France, Carine has enjoyed moderate popularity. The name possesses an elegant, sophisticated quality while remaining approachable and easy to pronounce across multiple languages. Carine saw modest usage in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality. Its international appeal extends to various European countries and French-influenced regions. With its soft sound pattern and meaningful etymology suggesting someone cherished or valued, Carine offers a graceful yet straightforward naming option with continental flair.
          • Caroline

            • Origin:

              French, feminine variation of Charles

              "free man"

            • Description:

              Caroline is a perennial classic, one of the elite group of girls' names that's ALWAYS ranked among the Top 1000 and that's been in the Top 100 since 1994. Elegant yet strong, Caroline calls to mind the Kennedy Camelot years and Princess Caroline of Monaco.
          • Celine

              French variation of Celeste

            • Meaning:

              "heavenly"

            • Description:

              French-Canadian singer Dion made us notice this variation. Although many parents would prefer the homonym Selene, which has a different derivation and means "moon," Celine has been a Top 1000 name every year since 2012, and was also on the list each year from 1994 to 2005. Celine is also a newly-chic French fashion label.
          • Christine

            • Origin:

              French variation of Christina

            • Meaning:

              "Christian"

            • Description:

              Christine was the dominant feminine variation of Christopher forty or fifty years ago, when French E-endings were preferred over As; it was a Top 20 name for several years, from 1966 to 1974. But though it still hangs in on the popularity list, today most any other version would be considered more stylish, from Kristen to Kirsten to Christina herself.
          • Clarine

            • Description:

              Clarine is a feminine name with French origins, derived from the Latin word 'clarus' meaning 'clear, bright, or famous.' It's related to the name Claire and evokes the sound of the musical instrument clarinet, suggesting a melodious, harmonious quality. Clarine enjoyed modest popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in France and French-speaking regions, though it has remained relatively uncommon. The name has a delicate, refined sound that conveys both classical elegance and sweet simplicity. With its soft consonants and flowing pronunciation, Clarine carries a timeless charm that feels both vintage and fresh. It might appeal to parents seeking a name with French sophistication that remains distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell.

            • Description:

            • Description:

              Coraline may not be original to Neil Gaiman's wonderful book of the same name, but it might as well be. Gaiman's young heroine Coraline Jones is constantly called Caroline but as a name Coraline is more distinctive and has a more mysterious feel. The 2002 novel Coraline was made into a 2009 animated film voiced by Dakota Fanning and nominated for an Academy Award.
