Animal Names for Girls

An obscure nickname for Jacobina that would be virtually one-of-a-kind today. It's an inspired way to honor a Jacob in your life.

Prior to 2013, this name was unheard of. That was the year that Larry Hernandez, singer and star of reality show Larrymania, gave the name to his daughter. It has now entered the US Top 1000, following in the footsteps of Daleyza, the invented name Hernandez bestows upon his older daughter.

One of the spiritual word names that parents started to use in the 2010s.

Desiderata is a feminine name from antiquity which, although fussy and long, has a lovely meaning for that longed-for daughter.

A lovely name most commonly used by Judeo-Italian families — also the name of a fictional city in Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Inhabitant of Carcosa", written in the late 1800s.

An evocative word name denoting a rare celestial phenomenon when the sun and moon are aligned so that the moon casts a shadow over the Earth (a solar eclipse), or when the moon is right in front of the sun, showing only a ring of light (a lunar eclipse).

Affable and creative and perfectly able to stand alone; nothing Scroogish about it.
