  1. Audrey

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "noble strength"

    • Description:

      Audrey is one of the girls' names that have been rising due to their connection to Old Hollywood glamour — in this case the eternally chic and radiant Audrey Hepburn. Audrey has another very different appeal as one of the elite group of girl names that mean strong, brave, or powerful.
  2. Celia

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "heavenly"

    • Description:

      Celia, splendidly sleek and feminine, is a name that was scattered throughout Shakespeare and other Elizabethan literature, but still manages to feel totally modern.
  3. Cleo

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "glory"

    • Description:

      Cleo, one of the few girls' names to boast the cool-yet-lively o ending, is of course short for Cleopatra, the name of one of the most powerful women in history.
  4. Laurelle

    • Description:

      Laurelle is a feminine name that evolved as a diminutive or ornamental form of Laura, ultimately derived from the Latin 'laurus' meaning 'laurel tree' or 'sweet bay tree.' The laurel wreath has historically symbolized victory and honor in classical tradition. This elegant variation adds a French-inspired flair to the more common Laura or Lauren through its melodious ending. Though never achieving widespread popularity, Laurelle has maintained a quiet presence in the English-speaking world, particularly appreciated for its delicate, refined sound. The name peaked in usage in the United States during the mid-20th century but remains a relatively uncommon choice. Laurelle appeals to parents seeking a name with classical roots and a touch of sophisticated charm.

  5. Lola

    • Origin:

      Spanish, diminutive of Dolores

    • Meaning:

      "lady of sorrows"

    • Description:

      A hot starbaby name – chosen by Kelly Ripa, Chris Rock, Lisa Bonet, Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, Carnie Wilson, and Annie Lennox, and used as the nickname of Madonna's Lourdes – Lola manages to feel fun and sassy without going over the top. Be warned, though: "Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets," to quote a song from the show Damn Yankees.
  6. Lottie

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Charlotte

    • Meaning:

      "free man"

    • Description:

      Lottie is a nostalgic great-grandma name that conjures up lockets and lace, and — like Nellie, Josie, Hattie, Tillie, and Milly — has considerable vintage charm.
  7. Lyra

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "lyre"

    • Description:

      Lyra is a name with ancient and celestial roots that's finding new popularity thanks to its starring role in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, seen in the movie The Golden Compass. Simple yet unique, Lyra hits the sweet spot between too popular and too unusual.
  8. Mysti

    • Description:

      Mysti is a feminine name with a whimsical quality, likely derived from the word 'mystic' or 'mystery,' suggesting something magical or enigmatic. It emerged as a modern American name in the late 20th century, often used as a unique spelling variation of Misty (which refers to a fine, light fog). The name conveys a sense of ethereal beauty and wonder. Mysti peaked in popularity during the 1970s and 1980s when nature-inspired and creative spellings of names were trending. While never extremely common, it appeals to parents seeking a name with a dreamy, supernatural quality. The distinctive 'y' spelling gives the name an individualistic touch while maintaining its soft, feminine sound.

  9. Sylver

    • Description:

      Sylver is a contemporary feminine name that serves as an alternative spelling of Silver, referring to the precious metal. This modern variant with a 'y' adds a stylistic twist to the traditional spelling while maintaining the same pronunciation. As a name, Sylver evokes qualities associated with the metal—luminous, valuable, and pure. The name has a somewhat mystical, ethereal quality while also feeling modern and distinctive. While not among common baby names, it has gained some appeal in recent decades as parents seek names with meaning and character. Sylver works well in current naming trends that favor word names and nature elements. It offers a balance of uniqueness and familiarity, as most will recognize the word while few will share it as a name.
  10. Zaidee

    • Description:

      Zaidee is a feminine name with multiple possible origins, most likely derived from the Arabic name Zaida meaning 'growth' or 'prosperity.' It may also be a variant spelling of Sadie, which originated as a diminutive of Sarah (meaning 'princess' in Hebrew). The name has a vintage charm, having enjoyed modest popularity in the Victorian era alongside other names ending with the diminutive '-ee' sound. Zaidee's cross-cultural roots give it versatility, while its relatively uncommon status makes it distinctive. The initial 'Z' adds a touch of vibrancy and uniqueness to the name. In contemporary usage, Zaidee offers parents a name that feels both familiar and fresh, with a lively sound and positive connotations of abundance.
