          "morning star"
        • Description:

          While Danica may sound similar to Dana, Danielle, and Daniela, Danica is not a variation. Danica, a delicate and unique Slavic name meaning "Morning Star," is synonymous with Venus in many countries.
      • Daphnis
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "laurel"

        • Meaning:

          "dawn, sunrise"
        • Description:

          Dawn's heyday in the US, Canada and the UK came in the 1960s and 70s. It peaked at #14 in the US in 1971, but has since sunk from sight to be eclipsed by other names with the same meaning, such as Aurora, Roxana or Zariah.
      • Deimos

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "terror"

          "fourth letter; island formed at the mouth of a river"
        • Description:

          Delta is an unusual vintage option with a lazy-day-down-by-the-river feel. Delta is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet and also the geographical name given to an island formed at the mouth of a river.
      • Desdemona
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "ill-starred"
        • Description:

          Desdemona is as Shakespearean as a name can be, but because the beautiful and innocent wife of Othello came to such a tragic end, her name has been avoided for centuries. But at this point in time, there might be some adventurous parents willing to overlook that.
      • Draco
        • Origin:

          Greek from Latin
        • Meaning:

          "dragon"
        • Description:

          For as long as we all shall live, Harry Potter's sneering nemesis.
      • Dusk
        • Origin:

          English word name
        • Meaning:

          "twilight; darkening"
        • Description:

          Influencer Nara Smith called out Dusk as one of the names she likes but won't be using, which is probably the reason you're here. Dusk is a totally unique baby name, given to fewer than five children last year.
      • Eclipse
        • Origin:

          English word name
        • Meaning:

          "an obscuring of light when one celestial body passes over another"
        • Description:

          An evocative word name denoting a rare celestial phenomenon when the sun and moon are aligned so that the moon casts a shadow over the Earth (a solar eclipse), or when the moon is right in front of the sun, showing only a ring of light (a lunar eclipse).
      • Elara
        • Origin:

          Greek mythology name
        • Meaning:

          "hazelnut, spear"
        • Description:

          In Greek mythology, Elara was a lover of Zeus who gave birth to a giant son (ouch); it's also the name of one of the moons of Jupiter, giving it a celestial feel. Possibly derived from the Greek alara meaning "hazelnut" or "spear", it combines that favorite El- beginning with the popular -ara ending of Clara, Lara, and Amara, making it an all round appealing choice. Currently in the UK Top 1000, and on the rise in the US, it could be a fresher or less popular alternative to Ella, Lyra, or Laura.
      • Electra
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "shining, bright"
        • Description:

          Though the tragedies of the Greeks and Eugene O'Neill that used this name are filled with incest and murder, Electra is still a brilliant choice. Isabella Rossellini chose the gentler Italian verson, Elettra, for her now grown daughter.
      • Elio
        • Origin:

          Italian, Spanish
        • Meaning:

          "sun"
        • Description:

          Elio is a sunny and spirited Italian and Spanish name that makes a great crossover prospect, which could catch on as Enzo has. Elio is also currently popular in France, ranking in the Top 250.
      • Equinox
        • Origin:

          Latin
        • Meaning:

          "equal night"
        • Description:

          A dramatic nature-inspired possibility for either sex.
      • Eris
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "strife, discord"
        • Description:

          Eris was the goddess of strife and discord, turned fairy tale and then popular culture figure Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty. Ironic, as her name sounds so much like that of Eros, the god of love.
      • Estelle
        • Origin:

          French
        • Meaning:

          "star"
        • Description:

          Maybe it's because she shares that winning -elle sound with Isabel and Bella, but Estelle is no longer seen as a muumuu-wearing canasta player of a certain age (think George Costanza's mother on Seinfeld or Joey Tribbiani's talent agent in Friends). This could be in part thanks to the young Royal Couple of Sweden, who chose it for their firstborn daughter, or the single-named British R&B singer. It reentered the US Top 1000 in 2012 after a nearly fifty-year absence.
      • Esther
        • Origin:

          Persian
        • Meaning:

          "star"
        • Description:

          Esther was derived from the Old Persian word stāra, meaning "star." In the Old Testament, Esther, originally named Hadassah, was the captured Jewish wife of the King of Persia who risked her life to save her exiled people from annihilation. This story is celebrated by Jews on the holiday of Purim, so that it has traditionally been given to girls around that time.
      • Europa
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "wide face"
        • Description:

          The continent of Europe gets its name from Europa, queen of Crete and lover of Zeus. It is also, notably, the name of one of Jupiter's moons.
