                      • Description:

                        Bail is an uncommon masculine name with multiple potential origins. It could derive from the Old French 'baile' meaning 'bearer' or guardian, or from the Scottish surname Bail, which may have occupational roots. In legal contexts, 'bail' refers to security or guarantee, potentially giving the name connotations of reliability and trust. As a given name, Bail remains quite rare globally, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something truly uncommon. The name's brevity gives it a modern, minimalist appeal, while its familiar sound (rhyming with names like Dale or Gail) makes it accessible despite its uniqueness. Bail has not traditionally appeared on popularity charts, remaining a genuinely unusual selection.

                    • Barclay

                      • Origin:

                        "where birches grow"

                      • Description:

                        Americans may not realize Barclay is the phonetic spelling of the British Berkeley -- though both sound like old-fashioned butler names.
                    • Barlow

                      • Origin:

                        English

                      • Description:

                        A friendly sounding surname name reminiscent of the increasingly popular Marlow and Harlow. British musician Gary Barlow is a notable namesake.

                      • Origin:

                        Yiddish, variant of BATYA

                      • Description:

                        Basha bears a family resemblance to other newly popular Slavic names Sasha and Mischa, all of them hearty, warm and welcoming.
                    • Bellamy

                      • Origin:

                        English and Irish from French

                      • Description:

                        Bellamy is a surname name with an admirable meaning and upbeat rhythm, similar to jovial choices like Rafferty, Barnaby and Willoughby.

                      • Origin:

                        English medieval form of Benedict, Latin

                      • Description:

                        Bennett is Ben with a bow tie, kind of a cross between Benjamin and Beckett. It's been trending up on the popularity charts in recent years, and its choice by The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Jane Krakowski could shoot it even higher.
                    • Bonnie

                      • Origin:

                        Scottish

                        Bonnie is an adorable nickname name, heading back up the popularity list after a 50-year nap. A Top 100 girls' name throughout the rest of the English-speaking world, Americans are later to jump on the Bonnie bandwagon but now it's trending here too.
                    • Brenna

                      • Origin:

                        Feminine form of Brennan

                      • Meaning:

                        "descendant of the sad one"

                      • Description:

                        Brenna is a feminine form of the Irish surname Brennan, or perhaps a variation of Brenda or Brendan—all of which have different meanings. Whatever its derivation or authenticity, it's a modern sounding name which has steadily decreased in popularity since 1995 when it peaked at Number 235 in the United States.
                    • Briallen

                      • Origin:

                        Welsh

                      • Meaning:

                        "primrose"

                      • Description:

                        Unusual floral name which would be perfect for a spring baby girl, if you can pronounce the Welsh double L correctly. It's a tricky sound for non-native Welsh speakers, kind of halfway between an H and an L.
                    • Briana

                      • Origin:

                        Feminine variation of Brian

                      • Meaning:

                        "strong, virtuous, honorable"

                      • Description:

                        Spelled this way, Briana was coined by Edmund Spenser for his great literary work, The Faerie Queene, which gives the now-overexposed name a far classier pedigree than it's usually credited with.
                    • Briella

                      • Origin:

                        Short form of Gabriella

                      • Meaning:

                        "God is my strength"

                      • Description:

                        If you feel, as many parents do, that Gabby or Gabi is too harsh a short form for the mellifluous name Gabriella, try Brie, Brielle, or Briella.
