Amelia
German

Simon
Hebrew, Greek
"he has heard; flat-nosed"
Simon is pure and simple (not in the nursery rhyme sense), and an appealingly genuine Old and New Testament name that's not overused. These factors make Simon a stylish yet classic choice. In the…
Lyra

German, Scandinavian, and Finnish form of Mark
The K may be trendy, but this spelling variation is much less popular than Marcus.
