      "the most significant element of a thing or person"

    • Description:

      Heavily perfumed word name that peaked a few years ago.

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "of the lyre; songlike; a personal, emotive poem"

    • Description:

      Associated with poetry, pop music, and the Greek lyre, Lyric has a light and zippy sound to it and joins the likes of Melody, Harmony, Cadence, and Aria as musical names that have become baby names.

  4. Alivia

    • Origin:

      Variation of Olivia

    • Description:

      While Alivia may not have achieved the megapopularity of its mother name, it's still a widely used choice. Alivia combines the trendiness of A names with the trendiness of Olivia to create a choice that's slightly off the beaten track -- slightly being the operative word here. Is the distinction the initial A earns you worth a lifetime of explaining, "No, it's Alivia, with an A, not Olivia"? Your call, though ours would be no.
  5. Charli

    • Origin:

      Variation of Charlie, English diminutive of Charlotte, French "free man"

    • Meaning:

      "free man"

    • Description:

      Charli may be the new Charlie, which is the cooler Charlotte. British singer-songwriter Charli (born Charlotte) XCX, creator of the hit album Brat, and TikTok star Charli D'Amelio popularized the Charli spelling.
  6. Jayla

    • Origin:

      Modern spelling of Jaalah, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "to ascend"

    • Description:

      Not quite as unusual as it might seem, it first entered the popularity list in 1995, as a possible alternative to the very popular Kayla. In the Bible, an alternate spelling is Jaala.
  7. Roni

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "my song or my joy"

    • Description:

      Roni may sound like the Doowop-era Ronnie or Ronni, often named for her dad Ron, but it's actually a freestanding Hebrew name with an uplifting meaning.
  8. Destiny

    • Origin:

      Word name, English from Latin

    • Meaning:

      "destiny, fate"

    • Description:

      If Destiny is your daughter's destiny, she probably won't be the only one in her school: until 2009, Destiny was in the Top 50, with three of its alternate spellings in hot pursuit. It has since dipped a bit in popularity but is still widely used. Destiny Hope was the birth name of Miley Cyrus and Destiny Jones is the daughter or rapper Nas.
  9. Khloe

    • Origin:

      Variation of Chloe

    • Meaning:

      "young green shoot"

    • Description:

      Halia is one of Hawaii's top baby names, in the Top 50 for girls in 2021. Rare yet quietly on the rise outside of Hawaii, it was given to around 64 girls in a recent year. With its appealing meaning and approachable sound, Halia may see more use in the future.
  12. Maddison

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Madison

    • Meaning:

      "son of Maud"

    • Description:

      While the traditionally spelled Madison has been among the most popular names in the 21st century, this version isn't exactly unpopular. Nevertheless, the second d is superfluous.
  13. Iyanna

    • Description:

      Iyanna is a contemporary feminine name that gained popularity in the United States starting in the 1990s. It appears to be a creative variation of names like Ayanna (of African origin meaning "beautiful flower") or Dianna, possibly influenced by the prefix "I-" seen in names like Imani. The name has a melodic quality with its flowing vowels and soft consonants. Iyanna received a boost in recognition through figures like Iyanna Mayweather, daughter of boxing champion Floyd Mayweather. The name represents modern naming trends that value distinctive spellings and musical sounds. While maintaining an accessible pronunciation, Iyanna offers uniqueness without feeling completely unfamiliar. Potential nicknames include Iya, Anna, or Yanna.

  16. Kelsie

    • Description:

      Kelsie is a feminine name that emerged as a variation of Kelsey, which originated as an English surname derived from place names meaning 'Ceol's island' or 'ship's victory'. This spelling variation gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s as parents sought softer, more distinctly feminine versions of unisex names. Kelsie presents a youthful, friendly quality with its ending 'ie' sound, which gives it a more overtly feminine touch than the original spelling. The name peaked in popularity around 1995 in the United States but has since declined, making it less common for newborns today. Kelsie evokes a sense of approachability and warmth while maintaining a modern feel. The name balances familiarity with uniqueness, being recognizable without being overly common.
