- Odette
Origin:
French, from GermanMeaning:
"wealthy"Description:
Odette is the good swan in Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, a role for which Natalie Portman won an Oscar ---and it would make a particularly soigne, sophisticated yet upbeat choice, unlike some of the more dated other 'ette'-ending names.
- Ripley
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"strip of clearing in the woods"Description:
With its surname-style, literary feel, and similarity in sound to Finley, Juniper, Pippa, Riley, and Presley, Ripley is an unexpected choice that was given to more than 200 girls in each recent year. First used back in the 80s, thanks to the powerful character played by Sigourney Weaver in the Alien films, it began to be used more substantially in the 2000s, after it was chosen by actress Thandiwe Newton for her daughter.
- Roscoe
Origin:
English, NorseMeaning:
"deer forest"Description:
Though Roscoe is an edgy hipster name for boys (with a much longer history of use than you might imagine), it's an even edgier name for girls, appearing in US stats in 1927 and then again in 2024. Its rarity is almost surprising, given its similarity in sound or style to trending choices like Rosalyn, Rowan, Winslow, Cleo, Collins, and Harlow.
- Marcheline
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"warrior"Description:
Marcheline was the first name of Angelina Jolie's late mother, who was part French-Canadian, which Jolie and Brad Pitt used as the middle name for their twin daughter Vivienne. The name is related to the Latin Marcellus and Marcus, which come from Mars, the name of the God of War, and is often spelled Marceline. Jolie's mother's birth name was Marcia Lynne.
- Pascale
Origin:
French from HebrewMeaning:
"Passover"Description:
Sophisticated, stylish feminine form of Pascal especially appropriate for girls born around Easter or Passover.
- Odele
Origin:
English from GreekMeaning:
"song"Description:
Sounds a lot like the recently revived Adele.
