Trying to decide on the name we want for our second little girl due in January.
  1. Abigail

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "my father is joyful"

    • Description:

      Abigail has been in for so long -- the name has ranked in the US Top 100 since the late 1980s -- it's amazing that it isn't more out by now. But Abigail's biblical and historic roots make it a fashionable classic rather than a passing fad.
  2. Avelien
    • Chloe

      • Origin:

        Greek

      • Meaning:

        "young green shoot"

      • Description:

        Chloe is a pretty springtime name symbolizing new growth. Though slightly off its peak in the Top 10 in 2010, Chloe still ranks in the Top 20 and is solidly a modern classic.
    • Claire

      • Origin:

        French form of Clara

      • Meaning:

        "bright, clear"

      • Description:

        Claire, luminous, simple, and strong, is one of those special names that is familiar yet distinctive, feminine but not frilly, combining historical depth with a modern edge. And though Claire is enjoying revived popularity, it will never be seen as trendy. Claire is also a great middle name choice.
    • Gabriella

      • Origin:

        Italian feminine variation of Gabriel

      • Meaning:

        "God is my strength"

      • Description:

        Gabriella is the feminine form of Gabriel, a name derived from the Hebrew Gavri’el. Gavri’el is composed of the elements gever, meaning "strong," and ’el, referring to God. Gabriella is used among a variety of cultures in the US, including Italian Americans, Latinos, and in the Jewish community. Gabriela is the Spanish spelling.
    • Lillianne

      • Description:

        Lillianne is an elegant feminine name that combines the popular name 'Lily' with the suffix '-anne.' It originated as a French variation of Lillian, which itself derives from the Latin name 'Lilium,' meaning 'lily flower.' The lily symbolizes purity and innocence in many cultures. Lillianne offers a more elaborate and sophisticated alternative to the more common Lily or Lillian. While not among the most popular names, it has maintained steady use, appealing to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but a slightly unique flair. The name offers versatile nickname options including Lily, Lilli, or Annie.

    • Mina

      • Origin:

        Hindu equivalent of Pisces or diminutive of Wilhelmina, German

      • Meaning:

        "resolute protection"

      • Description:

        Most famous as a Dracula victim (where Mina is short for Wilhelmina), Mina is a name that can stand on its own or be a diminutive of any name ending in -mina, most usually Wilhelmina.
