Thinking of nn's for our baby girl on the way.
- Ayla
Origin:
Hebrew, or TurkishMeaning:
"oak tree, or halo, moonlight"Description:
Bright, fresh, and sunny, Ayla is a fashionable choice for girls. Reminiscent of other trending names such as Layla, Isla, and Ava, Ayla has recently found its place in the Top 100.
- Talli
Description:
Talli is a feminine name with multiple cultural connections. In Hebrew, it can be a diminutive of Talya or Talia, meaning 'dew from God' or 'lamb.' It also appears in Finnish as a variant of Tali, and has connections to Estonian naming traditions. Pronounced TAL-ee, this brief, bright-sounding name carries a contemporary feel while maintaining cultural roots. Talli remains relatively uncommon in most countries, giving it a distinctive quality without being difficult to pronounce or spell. The name has seen modest usage in Israel and among Jewish communities, while also appearing occasionally in Scandinavian countries. Its cross-cultural nature makes Talli versatile and accessible across different languages and regions, appealing to parents seeking a name that is both modern and connected to heritage.
- Tate
Origin:
NorseMeaning:
"cheerful"Description:
Though Tate is used almost exclusively for boys, we can see Tate as a stronger surname alternative to Kate or a clipped form of Tatum.
- Taya
Origin:
JapaneseMeaning:
"young"Description:
Taya has recently jumped into the mainstream name pool, perhaps because of kinship with Maya and Kaya. After five years outside the US Top 1000, it reentered in 2015.
- Taye
Description:
Celebrity Taye Diggs has made this seem like a male name, but it has a feminine sound and may be considered an attractive short form of Taylor.
- Tayla
Origin:
Spelling variation of TaylorDescription:
Tayla is a hybrid name, ala Sayla and Mikayla. Recipe for sudden -- if brief -- new name success: take two of the trendiest choices, Taylor and Kayla, stir, and voila...Tayla, which made it onto the hit parade in the mid-1990s.
- Tori
Origin:
Diminutive of Victoria, English, JapaneseMeaning:
"victory; bird"Description:
A more modern nickname for Victoria than Vicky, Tori is used fairly frequently on its own, kept in the public eye by singer Tori Amos and actress Tori Spelling. Still, it's far from fashionable, sinking in the polls significantly since reaching a peak of Number 142 in 1994. It dropped out of the US popularity charts in 2021, and even earlier in the UK, perhaps owing to the sound-alike political party nickname.
