These are the girl names that I have accumulated over many years. Many of them are great & some I'm absolutely smitten with! At the moment my husband & I aren't expecting..although if we do become pregnant with our second daughter the name we'll most likely chose will be Eaven Pennelope. I'd love to hear anyones comments on our choice. Our first daughter is named Ella Madison. :)
  1. Early

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      A word that's been used, very infrequently, as a name for hundreds of years. Interesting sound and meaning.
  2. Eavan

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful sheen"

    • Description:

      Anglicized spelling of the difficult-to-decipher Gaelic Aoibheann, the name of several Irish princesses, this name rhymes with Steven. Eavan Boland is a distinguished Irish poet who teaches at Stanford University.
  3. Elena

    • Origin:

      Spanish, Italian, German, Greek variation of Helen

    • Meaning:

      "bright, shining light"

    • Description:

      Elena is at its most popular point ever in the US, thanks to its cross-cultural appeal and the overall popularity of El- names. It's more international than Ellen or Eleanor, but still accessible.
  4. ELEONORA/Elenorah
    • Eliana

      • Origin:

        Hebrew

      • Meaning:

        "my God has answered"

      • Description:

        Eliana is a lilting, rhythmic choice, which has caught on in the US and other English-speaking countries. Currently popular in the UK, The Netherlands, Canada, and Brazil, it also makes the US Top 50.
    • Eliot

      • Origin:

        Variation of Elliot

      • Meaning:

        "The Lord is my God"

      • Description:

        Eliot is the sleekest spelling of the original, very occasionally used for girls, perhaps to honor novelist George Eliot.
    • Ellison

      • Origin:

        English

      • Meaning:

        "son of Ellis"

      • Description:

        Updates Allison—which everyone will misunderstand it as. But it's definitely a fresh spin on the Ellie names, and a rising surname name choice for girls.
    • Elyse

      • Origin:

        Variation of Elise or Elysia

      • Meaning:

        "pledged to God"

      • Description:

        Elyse hasn't been heard much since the 80s, but it's beginning to be reconsidered as a possibIlity again, now that it's not so much seen as a Mom name, as it was in the TV show "Family Ties." A spelling variation of Elise, it's another variation of Elizabeth. Many parents today would opt for Eliza.
    • Embry

      • Origin:

        English surname

      • Meaning:

        "flat-topped hill"

      • Description:

        Though Embry became famous as the name of a boy werewolf in Twilight, we think its Em- beginning and -y ending make it perfectly appropriate for a girl. You might consider it as an alternative to Emma, Emily, or Aubrey. Embry or Embury is an established English surname.
    • Emerson

      • Origin:

        English

      • Meaning:

        "son of Emery"

      • Description:

        Emerson is a dignified, somewhat serious name associated with transcendental thinker Ralph Waldo Emerson. Much more popular now for girls since Desperate Housewife Teri Hatcher used it for her daughter, it is definitely still a viable boys name.
    • Emery

      • Origin:

        English from German

      • Meaning:

        "industrious"

      • Description:

        The superpopularity of Emily and Emma has recently boosted the unisex Emery, especially since it became a celebrity baby name when it was chosen by Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn.
    • EMMERSYN
      • Everly

        • Origin:

          English

        • Meaning:

          "wild boar in woodland clearing"

        • Description:

          Sweet and stylish, with a sporty, energetic undertone, Everly is a name that ticks lots of boxes.
      • Eastyn
        • Eaven
          • Eleanoir
            • Emorie
              • Finleigh

                • Description:

                  Finleigh is a modern feminine variation of the traditional Scottish and Irish name Finley, which means 'fair-haired hero' or 'fair warrior.' The distinctive spelling with '-leigh' instead of '-ley' gives this name a more feminine touch while maintaining its Celtic heritage. This contemporary adaptation follows the trend of surnames becoming first names and traditional male names being adapted for girls. Finleigh combines strength and delicacy, offering parents a name with substance and style. Though still relatively uncommon, it has gained modest popularity in recent years among parents seeking names with both traditional roots and modern appeal. The name works well in professional settings while still carrying a touch of uniqueness that helps a child stand out.

              • Finley

                • Origin:

                  Irish and Scottish

                • Meaning:

                  "fair-haired hero"

                • Description:

                  This was a 100 percent boys’ name until celebs Jason Sehorn and Angie Harmon bestowed it on their daughter, followed by Lisa Marie Presley, who used it for one of her (female) twins. Finlay is also now among the most popular unisex names.
              • Gloria

                • Origin:

                  Latin

                • Meaning:

                  "glory"

                • Description:

                  Gloria is beginning to move beyond its de-glamorized Grandma image, most recently thanks to glamorous young Hollywood parents Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, who chose it for their second daughter. Gyllenhaal was quoted as saying they had been inspired by Patti Smith's rendition of the Van Morrison song "Gloria" at a concert and thought " 'We'll name our daughter that one day'."
