      "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.
  5. Cleonie

    • Description:

      Cleonie is a feminine name with Greek origins, likely derived from 'Kleonis,' a feminine form of 'Kleon,' meaning 'glory' or 'fame.' It may also relate to Cleone, a figure from Greek mythology associated with a sacred spring. This elegant, classical name has remained relatively uncommon throughout history, appreciated primarily by those with an interest in ancient Greek culture or looking for distinctive feminine names with historical depth. Cleonie has a delicate, refined quality with its flowing syllables and soft ending. The name suggests nobility, artistic sensibility, and timeless elegance. Despite its ancient roots, it feels fresh and distinctive in the modern naming landscape.
  6. Ebony

      English

    • Description:

      An attractive and now underused nature name belonging to a tree whose wood is prized for its dark color and dense texture, which shines when polished. Ebony joined the most popular girl names list in the US in the early 1970s, peaked in 1982 at #132, and dropped back below the Top 1000 in 2006.
  7. Fiona

      Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "white, fair"

    • Description:

      Fiona entered the American consciousness with the opening of the 1954 Broadway musical Brigadoon, but didn't come onto the U.S. popularity list until 1990.
  8. Ilona

    • Origin:

      Hungarian variation of Helen, Finnish

    • Meaning:

      "shining torch; light; joy"

    • Description:

      This variant of Helen is used across Europe, in France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and it's native Hungary. Reminiscent of Elena, Leona, Ilaria, Fiona and Lola, it nevertheless remains a rarity in the US.
  9. Imogen

    • Origin:

      Celtic

    • Meaning:

      "maiden"

    • Description:

      Imogen has long been fashionable in England and is gaining favor in the US among stylish parents. Pronounced the British way — the initial i is short as in Kim, as is the final E as in Ken — Imogen is as pretty and classy as it is distinctive.
  10. Ione

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "violet flower"

    • Description:

      This unusual Greek flower and color name has gained considerable recent attention via actress Ione Skye, who is the daughter of sixties folksinger Donovan.
  11. Leonie

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "lion"

    • Description:

  12. Lumi

    • Origin:

      Finnish

    • Meaning:

      "snow"

    • Description:

      Lumi may be a rare girls' name in the USA and England, but it comes in the Top 50 in Finland, where it means snow. Given the popularity of Winter, Holly, Ivy and many other wintery-christmassy names, we think that short and spunky Lumi definitely has potential for greater usage outside its home country as one of the more unusual names for Christmas babies.
  13. Magali

    • Description:

      Magali is a feminine name with rich cultural connections, primarily of Provençal French and Occitan origin. The name evolved as a regional variation of Margaret, which derives from the Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl.' In Southern France, Magali gained prominence through Frédéric Mistral's poem 'Mirèio,' where it appeared as a character name. The name carries a lyrical quality with its soft sounds and rhythmic syllables. While common in French-speaking regions, particularly in Switzerland and parts of Canada, Magali remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries. Its appeal lies in its melodic sound combined with its cultural heritage. The name often evokes associations with creativity, beauty, and Mediterranean warmth.
  14. Malia

    • Origin:

      Hawaiian variation of Mary

    • Meaning:

      "bitter"

    • Description:

      Malia rose up the charts back in 2009 when it was brought into the spotlight as the name of the Obama's eldest daughter. It leapt into the US Top 200, and while it hasn't reached that level of popularity again, it now sees steady usage, and is given to around 1100 girls every year.
  15. Naemi

    • Origin:

      German and Nordic form of Naomi, Hebrew; Japanese

    • Meaning:

      "pleasantness; sapling, seed + beautful"

    • Description:

      An unusual form of Naomi, Naemi has a slightly gentler sound and could get you to nickname Emi. Used in the German translation of the Bible, Naemi is now mostly overlooked in favor of Noemi, Nomi, or Noomi
  16. Nayeli

    • Origin:

      Zapotec

    • Meaning:

      "I love you"

    • Description:

      A name rarely heard outside the Latino community, but it was popular enough in the early 2000s to crack the Top 200. Since then, it's lost ground.
  17. Nephele

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "cloudy"

    • Description:

      An enchanting ancient Greek name belonging to the Greek goddess who was created from a cloud by Zeus and so became goddess of the clouds and mother of the centaurs. The name Nephele is not widely known but as among modern parents become used to Phoebe, Penelope, and Persephone, it may become one of the ancient Greek goddess names that's back in the mix.
  18. Noa

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "motion"

    • Description:

      This Old Testament female name has been one of the most popular girls’ names in Israel over the last decade. Also highly popular in Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, and a new entrant to the US Top 1000, it may be misunderstood here as an attempt to streamline and feminize the more familiar Noah – although it's a separate name with a separate derivation.
  19. Noelle

    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "Christmas"

    • Description:

      Noelle is the feminine variation of Noël, a masculine given name derived from the French word for "Christmas." As a word, Noël originated as a variant of nael, which evolved from the Latin natalis, meaning "birth." Noelle and Noel have traditionally been given to children born around Christmastime, particularly in the Middle ages.
  20. Noemie

    • Description:

      Noemie is the French variation of Naomi, a name with Hebrew origins meaning 'pleasantness' or 'delightfulness.' In the Bible, Naomi was the mother-in-law of Ruth and a figure of loyalty and perseverance. The French spelling adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to this ancient name. Noemie typically uses the accent mark (Noémie) in French, though it's often simplified in English usage. The name has maintained steady popularity in France and French-speaking regions but remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality. With its melodic three-syllable pronunciation (no-ay-mee), the name combines biblical heritage with French refinement, appealing to parents seeking a name that's both meaningful and graceful.
