  1. Genevieve

    • Origin:

      English from French

    • Meaning:

      "tribe woman"

    • Description:

      Genevieve is derived from the Germanic medieval name Genovefa, or Kenowefa, which consists of the elements kuni, meaning "kin", and wefa, meaning "woman." The medieval saint Genevieve, patroness of Paris, defended the city against Attila the Hun through her rational thinking, courage and prayer.
  2. Lark

    • Origin:

      English bird name

    • Description:

      Lark is getting some new and well-deserved attention as a post-Robin and Raven bird name. Although it was first recorded as a name in the 1830's, it has never appeared on the Social Security list.
  3. Cerulean

    • Origin:

      English color name from Latin

    • Meaning:

      "deep sky-blue"

    • Description:

      This vivid sky blue color name is at present used mostly for boys, but it is used in such small numbers that it could easily work on any gender. Whimsical and magical, but reminiscent of more established names, such as Ocean, Elowen, Seraphine, and Celestine, Cerulean might just make more appearances in coming years.
  4. Baird

    • Origin:

      Scottish occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "minstrel, poet"

    • Description:

      Meaning bard, this is an original choice with poetic and melodic undertones. Bard itself has also come into consideration, both names bringing to mind Shakespeare and other literary lights.

      The Scottish surname Baird's most notable bearer was John Logie Baird, the Scottish engineer and inventor of the televisor, the world's first practical television system in 1926, and also the world's first fully electronic color TV tube two years later. Some might also remember puppeteers Bil and Cora Baird.

  5. Primavera

    • Origin:

      Italian

    • Meaning:

      "spring"

    • Description:

      A bit syllable-heavy, but a pretty name for a springtime baby.
  6. Tallon

    • Description:

      Tallon is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from the English word 'talon,' referring to a bird of prey's claw, suggesting strength and sharpness. Alternatively, it could be a variant spelling of Talon or an anglicized form of Irish surnames. The name projects qualities of strength, precision, and determination. With its strong consonants and straightforward pronunciation, Tallon has gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries since the 1990s, particularly in the United States. It appeals to parents seeking names with nature connections and powerful connotations. The name's distinctive spelling with double 'l' helps differentiate it from the more common word 'talon.'

  7. Vireo

    • Origin:

      Nature name

    • Description:

      A vireo is a small green bird with a song as melodic as this highly unusual name, but it does sound a touch viral.
