Names from the Canadian supernatural crime drama, Lost Girl. I'm fairly certain one of the writers must be a name nerd, because there are some goodies here!
  1. Portia
    • Acacia

      • Origin:

        Greek

      • Meaning:

        "thorny"

      • Description:

        Acacia is an attractive, rarely used Greek flower name enhanced by its popular beginning-and-ending-with 'a'-construct, and is gradually beginning to catch on as a new member of the stylish girl names starting with A.
    • Ada

      • Origin:

        German or Turkish

      • Meaning:

        "noble, nobility, or island"

      • Description:

        Ada is one of the classic baby names for girls that is suddenly super stylish again. A favorite at the end of the nineteenth century, Ada is an alternative to the over-popular Ava. Ada is also part of the trend toward simple, old-fashioned names beginning with a vowel, like Ivy and Ella.
    • Aife

      • Description:

        Aife (pronounced EE-fa) is an ancient Irish feminine name with deep roots in Celtic mythology. She was a formidable warrior woman from the Scottish islands who fought the legendary Irish hero Cú Chulainn. After being defeated, she bore him a son named Connla. The name Aife is thought to mean "radiant" or "beautiful" in Old Irish, though some sources associate it with meanings like "pleasant" or "joyful." While not commonly used for many centuries, Aife has seen modest revival in Ireland and among those with Irish heritage as part of the trend toward rediscovering authentic Celtic names. Its short, melodic sound and powerful mythological associations make it appealing for parents seeking a name with historical depth.
    • Archer

      • Origin:

        English

      • Meaning:

        "bowman"

      • Description:

        Archer is an Anglo-Saxon surname that feels more modern than most because of its on-target occupational and Hunger Games associations. And it's a nice way to bypass the clunky Archibald to get to the cool nickname Archie.
    • Atticus

      • Origin:

        Latin

      • Meaning:

        "from Attica"

      • Description:

        Atticus, with its trendy Roman feel combined with the upstanding, noble image of Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, is a real winner among boy names. Atticus entered the US Top 1000 in 2004 and is a firm Nameberry favorite.
    • Alastor
      • Bertram

        • Origin:

          German

        • Meaning:

          "bright raven"

        • Description:

          Old Norman name last current in the 1930s, and firmly in our 'so far out it will always be out' category – despite its appearance as a Hogwarts student in Harry Potter. This is the full first name of P.G. Wodehouse's inimitable Bertie Wooster.
      • Bianca

        • Origin:

          Italian

        • Meaning:

          "white"

        • Description:

          Bianca, the livelier Italian and Shakespearean version of Blanche, has been chosen by many American parents since the 1990s, just as Blanca is a favorite in the Spanish-speaking community. Its meaning of white relates to snow, making it one of the prime names for winter babies.
      • Bruce

        • Origin:

          Scottish and English from French

        • Meaning:

          "from the brushwood thicket"

        • Description:

          Bruce is a Norman place name made famous by the Scottish king Robert the Bruce, who won Scotland's independence from England in the fourteenth century. It's perennially popular in Scotland, but has been rarely used here for a generation -- though the impact of Bruces Lee, Springsteen, Dern and Willis, as well as Batman's Bruce Wayne -- still lingers. At one time Bruce was so widespread in Australia, it became a nickname for any Ozzie man. An interesting alternative is Brix, the Normandy place name where the Bruce family originated.
      • Cassie

        • Origin:

          Diminutive of Cassandra

        • Meaning:

          "prophetess"

        • Description:

          Though not much in use, still retains a cozy Little House on the Prairie-type pioneer feel.
      • Cayden

        • Origin:

          Modern invented name, English

        • Meaning:

          "battle"

        • Description:

          Cayden is one of the many spellings of this popular name, made all the more popular when they're counted together. According to our annual playground analysis, sound-wise at least, Cayden is the 13th most popular name in the US, given to more than 10,600 baby boys.
      • Chloe

        • Origin:

          Greek

        • Meaning:

          "young green shoot"

        • Description:

          Chloe is a pretty springtime name symbolizing new growth. Though slightly off its peak in the Top 10 in 2010, Chloe still ranks in the Top 20 and is solidly a modern classic.
      • Christoph

        • Description:

          Christoph is the German and Dutch form of Christopher, derived from the Greek 'Christophoros' meaning 'bearing Christ.' This masculine name carries significant historical and religious weight across European cultures. While Christopher remains widely used in English-speaking countries, Christoph offers a more continental European flair without straying far from the familiar original. The name has maintained steady popularity in German-speaking countries like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Christoph projects an image of reliability and strength while its international recognition makes it practical across different cultures. The name balances traditional roots with a slightly distinctive quality that sets it apart from the more common Christopher.

      • Ciara

        • Origin:

          Irish

        • Meaning:

          "little dark one"

        • Description:

          Ciara is very popular in Ireland, more familiar here as the Anglicized Kiera or Keira. The uninitiated will tend to pronounce Ciara as the Italian Chiara, a form of Claire—kee-AHR-a or even see-AHR-a, like the American singer-songwriter Ciara. In the US, Ciara peaked in 2005, when it was the Number 150 name; it's since fallen down to Number 882.
      • Clio

        • Origin:

          Greek

        • Meaning:

          "glory"

        • Description:

          Clio is the name of the ancient Greek mythological muse of history and heroic poetry, one that is rich with modern charm and would make an intriguing choice, especially thanks to its dynamic o-ending.
      • Crystal

        • Origin:

          Gem name

        • Description:

          Peaking at #9 in 1982, Crystal's popularity in the 70s and 80s stems from its sparkling natural namesake and several notable bearers, like country music singer Crystal Gayle and Dynasty character Krystle Carrington. But it has since lost some of its luster for American parents, now ranking in the mid-600s. Ruby, Gemma and Pearl are fashionable alternatives, but nowadays Crystal could actually be a more unexpected choice for your little gem.
      • Donovan

        • Origin:

          Irish

        • Meaning:

          "dark"

        • Description:

          One of the first of the appealing Irish surnames to take off in this country, this boys’ name has long outgrown its "Mellow Yellow" association, which came via the single from a sixties singer-songwriter named Donovan.
      • Duncan

        • Origin:

          Scottish

        • Meaning:

          "dark warrior"

        • Description:

          Duncan is jaunty, confident, and open, a Scottish royal name that's brimming with friendly charm and makes it into our golden circle of names that are neither too popular nor too strange. Popularity aside, Duncan is one of the most classic Scottish names for boys.
      • Dyson

        • Origin:

          English, contraction of Dennison

        • Description:

          This could be a possible replacement for the overused Tyson, though it has something of a commercial feel related to the brand of vacuum cleaners.
