Acacia
- Origin:
  Greek
- Meaning:
  "thorny"
- Description:
  Acacia is an attractive, rarely used Greek flower name enhanced by its popular beginning-and-ending-with 'a'-construct, and is gradually beginning to catch on as a new member of the stylish girl names starting with A.

Alaska
- Origin:
  Native American
- Meaning:
  "great land"
- Description:
  State name Alaska stems from an Aleutian word for the land mass itself. The number of baby girls named Alaska has doubled in the past five years, and is sure to continue increasing as more place names are annexed as baby names. Wilder but as habitable as Dakota or Cheyenne, Alaska is a girls' name choice for the future.

Atlanta
- Origin:
  Place name
- Meaning:
  "Atlantic Ocean"
- Description:
  The capital of Georgia is far from the ocean, but got its name from the Western and Atlantic Railroad which ran through the city. Best known as a hub of industry and transport, and for its roles in the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement, it has never been popular as a baby name despite sounding like one. Its peak popularity was in 1995, the year before Atlanta hosted the Olympic Games.

Magi
- Origin:
  Cherokee
- Meaning:
  "who is like God"
- Description:
  Magi, as in the Three Wise Men who visited the baby Jesus, is a new word name appropriate for Christmas babies. It might also be a way to spell Maggie, but you can see the problems that's going to cause.

Mirabelle
- Origin:
  French
- Meaning:
  "marvelous"
- Description:
  If you're looking for a fresher belle name than Isabelle, Mirabelle is lovely, and we also like the extra flourish of Mirabella. And if you want a nature tie, Mirabelle is also the name of a delicate French plum.

  English

  "mist"
- Description:
  The Play Misty for Me jokes will get old really fast.

Mona
- Origin:
  Irish
- Meaning:
  "noble good"
- Description:
  Mona had more than a moment in the sun, peaking in 1950 at Number 230 but falling off the Top 1000 completely in the late 1980s. Its similarity to the word "moaner" undercuts the appeal of its simplicity. In one recent year, fewer than 100 baby girls received the name, and we don't see it reviving any time soon.
