babygirl names

  1. Finley

    • Origin:

      Irish and Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "fair-haired hero"

    • Description:

      This was Irish name was once used exclusively for boys, and remains so in England and Wales where it's a Top 50 choice. In the US, however, celebs Jason Sehorn, Angie Harmon, and Lisa Marie Presley inspired many parents to consider this name for girls instead, after they chose it for their daughters. In fact, up until 2024, it ranked considerably higher for girls than it did for boys.
  2. Casey

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "brave in battle"

    • Description:

      One of the original unisex Irish surname names, energetic Casey bounced onto the scene in the 1960s, then peaked in the 1980s for both boys and girls. Today Casey is having a resurgence for both girls and boys and re-entered the charts on the girls' side, likely due to the character Kayce Dutton (pronounced like Casey) on the hit show Yellowstone.
  3. Joni

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "God is gracious"

    • Description:

      Iconic folk singer Joni Mitchell lends this vintage nickname a cool, bohemian feel, while the streamlined spelling feels more contemporary and confident than the sweeter, cosier Joanie. While it may have disappeared from the US charts back in the 1980s, over in the nicknaming-loving UK, Joni has ranked in the Top 500 in recent years.
  4. Hero

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "demi-god"

    • Description:

      Despite the possibility of gender confusion, the Hero in Greek myth was a woman. Myleene Klass got that when she chose Hero for her daughter, and Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson used it as their daughter's middle--and we wouldn't be surprised to see more girls with this heroic name.
  5. Adora

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "adored"

    • Description:

      A name that would lavish your child with adoration, a princess name--as in Princess Adora of She-Ra: Princess of Power.
  6. Grey

    • Origin:

      Color name

    • Description:

      Grey is the more common spelling in Britain and Australia. This color name has a softness and ambiguity which makes it equally lovely for a boy or a girl.
  7. Austen

    • Origin:

      Literary surname and shortened form of Augustine, Latin

    • Meaning:

      "great, magnificent"

    • Description:

      While Austin is a popular boys' name, this spelling, honoring novelist Jane, nudges the name toward gender-neutral, chosen last year for 67 baby boys and 57 girls.
  8. Evalea

    • Description:

      Evalea is a delicate feminine name that appears to be a combination of Eva (or Eve) and the popular name suffix '-lea' or possibly 'Leah.' Eva derives from Hebrew, meaning 'life' or 'living one,' while Leah means 'weary' or possibly 'wild cow' in Hebrew tradition. This combination creates a melodic, flowing name with a gentle sound. Evalea remains quite rare in usage, never having appeared in top naming charts. The name has a somewhat vintage feel while still sounding fresh and contemporary. It offers an elegant alternative to the more common Eva or the various '-lea' names (like Kalea or Rosalea) that have become popular in recent decades. The name's rarity gives it a distinctive quality while maintaining familiar sounds that make it accessible and easy to pronounce.

  9. Julien

    • Origin:

      French from Latin

    • Meaning:

      "youthful, downy-bearded, or sky father"

    • Description:

      Although Julien is traditionally the male French form of Julian, musician Julien Baker has taken this variation of the name to the female side of the ledger. Julien is derived from the Ancient Roman Julius which is in turn related to the God name Jupiter or Jove, The most popular forms of the name in modern times have been Julia and Julian, but many variations for both genders, including Juliet, Julianne, and Julius, have become more visible too.
