• Meaning:

  "oarsman"

• Description:

  Adorable name that's fashionable and keeps gaining momentum. Remi entered the US Top 1000 in 2013 and is now approaching the Top 100. The Remi spelling is more popular for girls, while Remy is more popular for boys, both both spellings are in the Top 1000 for both genders. That's a remarkable success story for a name that, in the late 1900s, was given to only a handful of babies in the US.

Iris

• Origin:

  Flower name; also Greek

• Meaning:

  "rainbow"

• Description:

  Iris is directly derived from the Greek word iris, meaning "rainbow." In Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow, a messenger for Zeus and Hera who rode the rainbow as a multicolored bridge from heaven to earth. In ancient times, the Iris was considered a symbol of power and majesty, the three petal segments representing faith, wisdom and valor.

Eden

• Origin:

  Hebrew

• Meaning:

  "place of pleasure, delight"

  Tired of Ava and Isla? Consider Ayla, a more offbeat choice and a lovely name that means light as well as tree. Its literary reference is the independent and feisty heroine of Jean Auel's The Clan of the Cave Bear.

June

• Origin:

  Latin, month named for goddess Juno

• Description:

  June, a sweetly old-fashioned month name derived from the goddess Juno, was long locked in a time capsule with June Allyson (born Ella) and June Cleaver, but is rising again especially as a middle name.

Sara

• Origin:

  Hebrew

• Meaning:

  "princess"

• Description:

  Sara, the streamlined form of Sarah, makes this ancient name feel more modern, but perhaps a bit lighter weight. Some Old Testament sources give Sara as a variation of Sarai, the Biblical personage's original name, and some give it as the authentic form of the new name of Isaac's 90-year-old mother. But most sources authenticate Sarah as the Biblical classic and Sara as the variation.

Hope

• Origin:

  Virtue name

• Description:

  Can a name as virtuous as Hope be cool and trendy? Strangely enough -- yes. But though this optimistic Puritan favorite is experiencing substantial popularity, Hope is too pure and elegant to be corrupted, a lovely classic that deserves all the attention it's getting.

Zara

• Origin:

  Hebrew and Arabic

• Meaning:

  "blooming flower; God remembers"

• Description:

  Zara has multiple origins, but most notably is a variation of Zahrah, a name derived from the Arabic zahrah, meaning "blooming flower."

Ruth

• Origin:

  Hebrew

• Meaning:

  "compassionate friend"

• Description:

  Ruth, with its air of calm and compassion, was the third most popular name in the 1890s, remaining in the Top 10 through the 1920s. It's still in use today as some parents tiring of Rachel and Rebecca are giving Ruth a second thought. Some see such Old Testament girls' names as Ruth and Esther rising on the heels of boy equivalents Abel and Moses.

Sage

• Origin:

  Herb name; Latin

• Meaning:

  "wise"

• Description:

  Sage is an evocatively fragrant herbal name that also connotes wisdom, giving it a double advantage. It entered the Top 1000 at about the same time for both genders in the early 1990s, but it has pulled ahead for the girls. Toni Collette named her daughter Sage Florence.

Lila

• Origin:

  Arabic, Sanskrit

• Meaning:

  "night; play"

• Description:

  Lila was derived from the Arabic word laylah, meaning "night." It has separate roots in Sanskrit with the meaning "play." In Hinduism, Lila is a conceptualism of the universe as a playground of the gods. Lilah and Lyla are variant spellings.

• Origin:

  Kiswahili

• Meaning:

  "good, beautiful"

  Spanish, diminutive of Dolores

• Meaning:

  "lady of sorrows"

  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.

Vera

• Origin:

  Russian

• Meaning:

  "faith"

• Description:

  Vera was the height of fashion in 1910, then was for a long time difficult to picture embroidered on a baby blanket. Now, though, it has come back into style along with other old-fashioned simple names such as Ada and Iris.

• Origin:

  Arabic

• Meaning:

  "winner, one who achieves"

  "black one"

  Cute name but be warned: Kali is the Hindu goddess of destruction, the fierce side of the goddess Devi.

Jane

• Origin:

  English

• Meaning:

  "God is gracious"

• Description:

  No, we don't consider Jane too plain. In fact, for a venerable and short one-syllable name, we think it packs a surprising amount of punch, as compared to the related Jean and Joan.

Lena

• Origin:

  English, Scottish, Dutch, German, and Scandinavian, diminutive of various names ending in lena

• Description:

  This pet form of Helena and other ena-ending names, long used as an independent name, is attracting notice again as an option both multicultural and simple. Lena was a Top 100 name from 1880 to 1920.

Myla

• Origin:

  Spelling variation of Mila or feminine variation of Milo

• Meaning:

  "soldier or merciful"

Cali

• Origin:

  Diminutive of any Cal- name

• Description:

  A short form that can stand on its own, though not all that steadily.

Leia

• Origin:

  Spelling variation of Leya

• Description:

  This spelling variation of Leya was popularized by the Star Wars films, but is still firmly in the US Top 1000 many years later. This spelling is also probably preferred as it is clearer in pronunciation to the original Hindi name, Leya (which sometime gets pronounced Lee-ah).

Kaia

• Origin:

  Latin, Scandinavian, or Hawaiian

• Meaning:

  "to rejoice or sea"

• Description:

  The new Maia, the next Kayla, Kaia has been on the charts since the year 2000. You might see it as a female form of the also-rising Kai, which means sea in Hawaiian and is sometimes used for girls as well, or as a Kardashianization of the ancient goddess name Caia.

Thea

• Origin:

  Greek

• Meaning:

  "goddess, godly"

• Description:

  Thea is a diminutive of names ending in -thea, including Dorothea, Althea, and Anthea. It is also the Anglicized spelling of Theia, the Titan of sight, goddess of light, and mother of the moon. She was the consort of Hyperion, and mother of Helios, Selene, and Eos.

Evie

• Origin:

  Diminutive of Eve or Eva

• Meaning:

  "life"

• Description:

  Evie was derived from Eve, which in turn comes from Chawwah, a Hebrew name related to the concept of life. Evie can be used as a nickname for any name that starts with Ev-, including Eva, Evelyn, and Evangeline, but also for names such as Genevieve and Maeve. Evie is typically pronounced with a long E sound, but a short E is also valid.

Nina

• Origin:

  Short form of names that end in -nina

• Description:

  Nina is as multiethnic as you can get: Nina is a common nickname name in Spain and Russia, a Babylonian goddess of the oceans, and an Incan goddess of fire. Here and now, it's a stylish possibility that's been underused. "Weird Al" Yankovic chose this decidedly nonweird name for his daughter.

Demi

• Origin:

  Diminutive of Demetria or Greek

• Meaning:

  "half"

• Description:

  Demi appeared in the US as a baby name thanks to a single celebrity, actress Demi Moore, who put it on the Top 1000 throughout the 1990s. As her star faded, so did the visibility of the name, though now it is rising again on its own steam. It's popular in Europe, too, especially in The Netherlands. Demi may be that unusual name that's launched by a celebrity and then maintains its visibility all by itself.

Wren

• Origin:

  English

• Meaning:

  "small bird"

• Description:

  Wren, a lilting songbird name, could be the next Robin. It makes a particularly pleasing middle name choice, as does her newly discovered cousin Lark. Wren entered the Top 1000 for the first time in 2012 and is among the new wave of popular English names for girls.
