      "advising like a man"

  5. Astoria

    • Origin:

      Place name

    • Description:

      Long more associated with the New York Waldorf- hotel and the neighborhood in Queens than as a baby name, Astoria is finally beginning to emerge from their shadow and find favor with parents looking to move beyond Brooklyn. The name Astoria is drawn from the surname of titan of industry John Jacob Astor, theorized to mean "hawk."
  6. Alphard
    • Arcturus
      • Bellatrix

        • Origin:

          Latin

        • Meaning:

          "female warrior"

        • Description:

          J.K. Rowling is a modern master of naming who brought a whole constellation of ancient and celestial names to modern parents. Bellatrix, of one of the stars of Orion, combines fashionable names Bella and Beatrix to make a convivial and original name. The down side: the Harry Potter character Bellatrix, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is a character so evil she's called a Death Eater, killing one beloved character and being murdered by another. And the name Bellatrix is so closely associated with that character that it might be challenging to sidestep the association.

It has occasional usage in Mediterranean cultures and may also be found as a variation of names like Dora or Dorothy. Its rarity gives it a distinctive quality for parents seeking an uncommon yet melodious name with classical roots.
