Cute and unusual as a nickname, but lacking the legs to stand on its own.

An unusual word name that nevertheless feels right on trend, with that two-syllable, n-ending shape and sharp middle X.

Kakia was the goddess of vice and abomination, who tempted others to evil. Basically, a female devil. As a baby name, just....no.

Tayla is a hybrid name, ala Sayla and Mikayla. Recipe for sudden -- if brief -- new name success: take two of the trendiest choices, Taylor and Kayla, stir, and voila...Tayla, which made it onto the hit parade in the mid-1990s.

Turkish cognate of the name River among English-speakers. However, unlike River, Nehir is an exclusively feminine name in Turkey.

Finja Is a Josephine nickname that ranks among the Top 100 girl names in Germany.

A queen in George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, featured in the GOT prequel House of the Dragon, where she is played by Sian Brooke.

With the sharp rise of Alaia in the US in recent years as well as the love for "Ad-" names on girls, it makes sense that the still rare Adaia is increasing in use as well. Adaia was given to just under 100 baby girls in 2022.
