Little Girl's Names

  1. Orabella

    • Origin:

      Latin variation of Arabella

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful altar"

    • Description:

      Lacks the vintage charm of the original Arabella, but with the love for all names Bella, it might appeal to some.
  2. Paisley

    • Origin:

      Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "church, cemetery"

    • Description:

      For a name related to a Scottish town, a patterned Indian fabric, and a country singer named Brad, Paisley has seen remarkable success. After appearing, seemingly out of nowhere, it is now an American favorite.
  3. Reinella

    • Description:

      Reinella is an elegant feminine name with possible Germanic origins. It may be derived from 'Reina' (meaning 'queen' in Spanish) or from Germanic elements like 'rein' (meaning 'pure' or 'clean') combined with the feminine suffix '-ella.' This uncommon name has a melodious quality and aristocratic feel. Reinella has never ranked among popular names in the United States or most English-speaking countries, making it an exceptionally distinctive choice. The name carries a certain sophistication and regal quality, potentially evoking images of nobility and refinement. Parents seeking a unique name with classical European resonance might be drawn to Reinella for its lovely sound and relative obscurity.

  4. Reinette

    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "little queen"

    • Description:

      Reinette was the childhood nickname of Madame La Pompadour, perhaps a cute short form for Regina or Reina but hardly worthy of the full name on the birth certificate today.
  5. Rhiannon

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "divine queen"

    • Description:

      Most of us had never heard this lovely Welsh name with links to the moon until we heard the 1976 smash hit Fleetwood Mac song of that name, with lyrics by Stevie Nicks. That same year it popped onto the U.S. Top 1000 at Number 593.
  6. Seraphina

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "ardent; fiery"

    • Description:

      Seraphina is one of the most-searched name on Nameberry, destined for even greater popularity. The highest-ranking angels, the six-winged seraphim, inspired the lovely name Seraphina.
  7. Starla

    • Description:

      Starla is a feminine name that emerged in mid-20th century America as a creative elaboration of the word 'star.' This celestial-inspired name peaked in popularity during the 1970s and early 1980s, reflecting the era's interest in nature-themed and inventive names. With its glamorous connotations and cosmic imagery, Starla suggests brilliance, aspiration, and uniqueness. The name carries a distinctly Americana quality while evoking the beauty of the night sky. Though never extremely common, Starla developed a steady following, particularly in Southern states. The melodic combination of 'star' with the feminine 'la' ending creates a name that feels simultaneously familiar and distinctive.
  8. Winslet

    • Origin:

      English surname and place-name

    • Meaning:

      "Wynn's channel or stream"

    • Description:

      Winslet is one of a legion of surnames newly considered fair game as first names. The inspiration may be British star Kate, but she's not the only reason parents are attracted to Winslet, one of those British girl names that sounds at once classy and winning. Yet be warned that if you choose this, people will forever assume you are major fans of the actress. Other Win- beginning names up for new consideration: Winslow, Winston, Wynton, Winifred and Winnie, along with just plain Win or Wyn or Wynn.
  9. Zoe

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "life"
