Names like Amelia

The superpopularity of Emily and Emma has recently boosted the unisex Emery, especially since it became a celebrity baby name when it was chosen by Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn.

Mila is a popular name that took a 125 year nap, ranking in the Top 1000 in 1881 and then not ranking again until 2006, after actress Mila Kunis appeared on That 70s Show.

Young Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara has given this spicy-sounding name a new lease on life, propelling it into the Top 1000 in 2016. It was one of the fastest rising girl names of the year in 2016, then again in 2024. As a form of Alexander, Alessia could make a wonderful honor for any of Alexander's variants—Alexandra, Alexis—or as an alternative to Alexa, now best known as Amazon's AI voice.

Myla can be seen as a female variation of Milo or a different spelling for popular Mila. Though frequently unnecessary in alternate spellings, the "y" here does connote a specific pronunciation.

Powerful and pretty, Aliyah is popular a name with two different origins.

This pretty and uncommon Basque name is all but unheard of in this country. Amaya is a spelling variation as well as a similar Japanese name meaning "night rain." With the newfound popularity of Amara and Amora, Amaia and Amaya are among the Spanish names for girls we'll be hearing a lot more of in the US.

This version of Malia (as in Obama) peaked at Number 296 in 2009. Though Maliyah has lost ground since then, it's surprisingly enduring for a newly-fashion name whose pop culture connection was more than a decade ago.

Analeah combines elements of the names Ana (or Anna) and Leah, creating a melodic, modern compound name. Ana derives from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace,' while Leah, also Hebrew, means 'weary' or 'delicate.' Together, they form a name with biblical connections and a lyrical quality. This relatively recent creation fits with contemporary naming trends favoring long, vowel-rich girls' names. The combination creates a unique identity while maintaining recognizable elements, making it distinctive yet accessible. Analeah has grown in usage since the early 2000s, particularly in culturally diverse communities. The name offers flexibility with potential nicknames like Ana, Leah, or the playful Lia. Its flowing sounds and meaningful components give it both substance and beauty.

Adaleah is a feminine name representing a modern combination of the Germanic prefix 'Adal-' meaning 'noble' and the popular '-leah' suffix meaning 'meadow' or 'clearing.' It may also be viewed as a creative elaboration of names like Adele or Ada with the fashionable 'leah' ending. This melodic name has emerged primarily in the 21st century as parents seek unique yet accessible options with traditional elements. While still uncommon, Adaleah fits contemporary naming trends that favor longer, flowing girls' names with multiple syllables. Its soft sounds and meaningful components give it an elegant, feminine quality with subtle literary associations.
