American, meaning unknownDescription:
The Social Security Lists show this name to have been used throughout the 1920s and 30s especially in Southern states. There are a few theories on its origins (an invented name created to honor William/Willard and a a female name ending in "-dine", or it may be an Anglicization of a Native American name). Either way, it has a willowy sweetness that deserves a comeback.

Description:
Charleston is one of those baby names that may become more popular thanks to its nickname Charlie, now used about equally for boys and girls. If you want to call your daughter Charlie but believe she needs a more formal name, you might try Charleston instead of Charlotte. And Charleston is a lovely city in South Carolina.
- Rein
Origin:
Variation of Reign or Rain; English word nameMeaning:
"royal authority; water falling in drops condensed from vapor in the atmosphere"Description:
Rein, along with Reign, have taken over from Rain as a trendy word name. Should you rein it in or let it rein? Okay, bad puns we know, but that's the downside of word names. This is a true unisex name, given to ten girls and eight boys in the US in one recent year.
- Rayan
Origin:
ArabicMeaning:
"land that is lush and rich in water"Description:
This unisex Arabic name is most frequently used for baby boys in the US, although a significant number of girls are named Rayan each year as well. The emphasis belongs on the second syllable.
- Innogen
Origin:
CelticMeaning:
"daughter, maiden"Description:
Innogen is the Shakespearean name that never was. Most sources will tell you that Shakespeare intended to use Innogen for a character in Cymbeline, but his printer mistook the twos Ns for an M, thus inventing Imogen. This may or may not be true — Imogen seems to have existed before his time, and Shakespeare may have changed the spelling on purpose — but nevertheless, it makes for a great name story.
- Aideen
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"jealousy"Description:
A name possibly derived from Etain, an ancient Irish sun and horse goddess whose name is still used. Adina is a related choice.
- Aoibhinn
Origin:
Variation of Aoibheann, IrishMeaning:
"beautiful sheen"Description:
Aoibhinn and its twin name Aoibheann may be popular in Ireland but most English-speakers would find the spelling baffling and the pronunciation impossible to divine. It's ee-van, or se-vin, fitting with the Irish popularity of many names -- Aoife, Eabha, Ava -- with this similar sound.
