Potential Characters - Female

  1. Thisbe

    • Origin:

      Greek mythological name, meaning unknown

    • Description:

      Thisbe, the name of a beautiful but tragic lover in mythology, is lively and cute -- in a slightly thistly, prickly way. Ovid retold the story of Thisbe and Pyramus, young lovers in ancient Babylon kept apart by family rivalry, which was the inspiration for Romeo and Juliet. A modern bearer of the name is writer Thisbe Nissen.

      In Sarah Dessen's novel Along for the Ride, the baby daughter is named Thisby, nn Isby.

  2. Vivia

    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Vivian

    • Meaning:

      "life"

    • Description:

      Vivia, the fresh Italian version of newly popular name, streamlines and even vivifies the original.
  3. Araya

    • Origin:

      Thai, Sanskrit

    • Meaning:

      "noble"

    • Description:

      Araya is one of those names that seems to have a different derivation and meaning on every website. The one we consider most reliable is that it's a variation of the very popular Arya, which means noble, taken from the Thai araya and the Sanskrit arya.
  4. Oswin

    • Origin:

      Old English

    • Meaning:

      "God's friend"

    • Description:

      Ancient name, near obsolete now, but could make a good alternative to Owen for the adventurous baby namer.
  5. Macen

    • Origin:

      English, feminine variation of Mason

    • Meaning:

      "worker in stone"

    • Description:

      Rather than going with a yooneek spelling like Macen (or Maysen or Masyn), we'd suggest sticking with the original Mason, as Kelsey Grammer did for his daughter.
  6. Kimber

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Kimberley

    • Description:

      This diminutive of Kimberley is gaining momentum as a standalone name. For our part, we're stumped by its rise.
  7. Locklyn

    • Origin:

      Variation of male name Lachlin, Gaelic

    • Meaning:

      "lake land"

    • Description:

      This phonetic spelling of a traditional Scottish male name wasn't seen until used by Vince Vaughn for his daughter. As Lachlan becomes more of an established boy's name in the US, more parents are turning to the Locklyn spelling on the girl's side.
  8. Faizah

    • Origin:

      Arabic

    • Meaning:

      "victorious"

    • Description:

      Captivating Arabic choice, sometimes transcribed as Fa'izah.
  9. Evenne

    • Description:

      Evenne is a delicate feminine name that appears to be a variation of Eve or Evelyn, enhanced with a stylistic double 'n' and final 'e'. This elegant adaptation maintains connections to the Hebrew name Eve (meaning 'life' or 'living one') while creating a more elaborate sound profile. The name has a French-inspired quality and could also be related to the word 'evening,' suggesting twilight beauty. Quite rare in usage, Evenne offers parents a unique alternative that feels both familiar and fresh. Its soft consonants and flowing pronunciation (eh-VEN) give it a gentle, lyrical quality. Despite its uncommon status, the name feels intuitive to pronounce and spell, making it accessible while still distinctive.
  10. Itali

    • Description:

      Itali is a rare feminine name that likely derives from geographical associations with Italy. This uncommon name carries Mediterranean connotations and may be considered a creative variant of Italia or an elaboration of the country name. The name evokes sunny imagery and cultural richness associated with Italian heritage. Itali remains extremely uncommon in most naming records, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something unique with European flair. Its rarity means it lacks established naming traditions, allowing bearers to define its significance personally. The name's musical quality with its soft consonants and vowel ending gives it a naturally feminine sound while maintaining its cross-cultural appeal.
