Names that have potential for my future female children.
  1. Adeline

    • Origin:

      French, diminutive of Adele

    • Meaning:

      "noble, nobility"

    • Description:

      Adeline has a lovely, old-fashioned "Sweet Adeline" charm, but has become so popular in the US under so many spellings and variations — with Adalynn and Adalyn also popular — that considered together it is far more popular than it first seems. Adorable nickname Addie is also pervasive.
  2. Adelyn

    • Origin:

      Variation of Adeline

    • Meaning:

      "noble, nobility"

    • Description:

      Adeline in all its forms, including Adelyn, is rocketing up the list, but we do prefer the original to the variations. Or you might consider varying it yet further to Adelia, Adele, or Adelaide. Or lengthen it to Madeline/Madelyn.
  3. Amelia

    • Origin:

      German

    • Meaning:

      "work"

    • Description:

      Amelia is one of the hottest girls' names, a successor to the megapopular Emma and Emily. Amelia, the Number 2 choice in England, is now also comfortably ensconced in the US Top 10, where it ranked as the third most popular name for girls in 2024.
  4. Charisse

    • Description:

      Charisse is a feminine name of French origin, considered a variation of Charissa or Charis, derived from the Greek word 'charis' meaning 'grace' or 'kindness.' The name gained recognition in America during the mid-20th century, partly due to the fame of actress and dancer Cyd Charisse. With its elegant sound and sophisticated French flair, Charisse conveys a sense of beauty and refinement. The name peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s but remains a relatively uncommon choice, making it distinctive without being completely unfamiliar. Charisse balances classic appeal with a touch of uncommon elegance, appealing to parents seeking a name that sounds graceful and sophisticated.

  5. Cora

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "maiden"

    • Description:

      Cora is a lovely, old-fashioned girls' that has been recently rejuvenated by its contemporary-feeling simplicity. In fact, Cora seemed headed straight for the top of the popularity list when the coronavirus pandemic somewhat weakened its appeal.
  6. Evelina

    • Origin:

      English from French

    • Meaning:

      "desired; or water, island"

    • Description:

      A popular name in the Middle Ages, Evelina was eclipsed by Evelyn in the last century, but has a chance at a well-deserved comeback now, fitting right in with the other Ev-names. Like Evelyn, it derives from the Norman name Aveline.
  7. Sophelia
