Baby Girl Rodriguez

After decades of disuse, soft and feminine Evelyn has returned to the baby name stage in a huge way. It reached the Top 10 for the first time in 2017. Evelyn has now surpassed its former heights, joining a legion of contemporary little Evas, Avas, Eves, Evies, and Evelines.

Ginnifer is a modern feminine name that emerged as a phonetic respelling of Jennifer, which derives from the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, meaning "fair and smooth." This variant spelling gained visibility through American actress Ginnifer Goodwin, helping to distinguish it from the extremely popular Jennifer that dominated birth records in the 1970s and 80s. The spelling reflects the actual pronunciation many use for Jennifer, with the soft 'G' sound. While much rarer than its traditional counterpart, Ginnifer offers a fresh twist on a familiar name, allowing for the nickname Ginny. It appeals to parents who appreciate the classic appeal of Jennifer but desire something more distinctive that still maintains recognizable roots.

Lily is the most popular of the popular delicate century-old flower names now making a return, thanks to its many irresistible attributes: a cool elegance and a lovely sound, a symbol of purity and innocence, and a role in Christian imagery.

Olivia, a lovely Shakespearean name with an admirable balance of strength and femininity, is the Number 1 name for baby girls in the US and one of the top girls' names around the world.

Vivian, once an elderly lady name, is on the rise, along with all form of girl names that mean life -- from Zoe to Eva to those who share the vivid Viv syllable. It was one of the fastest-rising names of 2023, vaulting into the Top 100.
