- Mackenna
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"son of the handsome one"Description:
Although the Mc or Mac prefix always means "son of", the first names McKenna and MacKenna are used in the US exclusively for girls, with the McKenna spelling outpacing this one 14 to 1. There are no boys recorded with either spelling of the name.
- Averie
Origin:
Spelling variation of AveryMeaning:
"ruler of the elves"Description:
This spelling has been on the rise since it entered the charts in 2004, hot on the coattails of trendy Avery.
- Malorie
Description:
Malorie is a feminine name derived from the French name Mallory, which originated as an Old French surname meaning 'unfortunate' or 'ill-fated.' Despite this somewhat somber etymology, the name has a melodic, elegant quality that has helped it gain moderate popularity. This spelling variation with an 'ie' ending gives the name a softer, more distinctly feminine feel compared to the original Mallory. The name gained recognition in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century but has never been extremely common, maintaining a pleasant balance between familiarity and uniqueness. Malorie has a classic, literary quality while still feeling contemporary, perhaps influenced by author Malorie Blackman. The name carries a slightly vintage charm with its French roots and soft ending, appealing to parents seeking something traditional yet not overused.
- Caylee
Origin:
Modern invented nameDescription:
Caylee was the third fastest-rising name in 2009 and peaked then at Number 263, but has since dropped in the charts, perhaps due to the Caylee Anthony association.
- Kylah
Origin:
Spelling variation of KylaDescription:
Kylah makes Kyla feel like an old biblical name, but it's only a reproduction, not a real antique.
- Ashleigh
Description:
Ashleigh is a feminine name that represents an alternative spelling of Ashley, which originated as an English surname derived from place names meaning "ash tree clearing" or "meadow of ash trees." This variant spelling gained popularity in the late 20th century as parents sought more distinctive ways to spell traditional names. While Ashley peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, Ashleigh offers a slightly more uncommon and visually distinctive option. The name carries associations with nature and has a fresh, contemporary feel despite its ancient roots. Ashleigh is particularly popular in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, where variant spellings are more commonly embraced.
