Nature and flower nameDescription:
Wildflower may be the ultimate hippie name, added to the lexicon by Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden when they chose it as one of their daughter's middle names. It's generic in the way that Flora and River are, as opposed to Iris and Nile, say. But it has a certain free and creative charm.
- Suellen
Origin:
Compound name, blending Susan and EllenMeaning:
"shining lily"Description:
Suellen is a smoosh name that combines two classic names into one that feels both mid-century and modern, a little like Carolyn, a bit like Elowen. Notably used by Margaret Hill in her novel, Gone with the Wind, Suellen peaked in the 1940s and is rarely used today.

Combination of Eliza and BellaDescription:
Elizabella is a much more obscure smoosh than sisters Isabella and Annabelle, but the megapopularity of Isabella may give this unusual combo name a boost.

Combination of Aubrey and AnnaDescription:
Aubrianna, along with Aubriella, is an elaboration of a perfectly good if too trendy name, Aubrey. The final -anna or -ana or -ella does not improve on the original. But A names of all kinds continue to appeal to the masses.

"always"Description:
Inspired by Taylor Swift's 2020 album Evermore, seven sets of parents chose this name for their daughters in 2022.

Accessible nicknames Ever and Evie are always an option if Evermore feels too bold for everyday use.
- Merrilee
Origin:
English, word name or combination of Mary and Lee, or Scottish place-nameDescription:

Merrilee hit the Top 1000 for a few years in the 1940s, but disappeared from the charts completely back in 2007.
