The best names from the series Christy.

Ault
Burl
- Origin:
  English
- Meaning:
  "knotty wood; butler"
- Description:
  This name has a nicely fragrant woodsy feel, bringing it into the nature-tree name category. Its only well-known bearer, folk singer and Oscar-winning actor Burl Ives, had the full birth certificate name of Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives — nothing compared to his two siblings named Argola and Lillburn.

Clarence
- Origin:
  Latin
- Meaning:
  "bright"
- Description:
  The name of the guardian angel in It's a Wonderful Life is rarely heard the rest of the year because of its studious, near-nerdy image, but this could change in the current naming climate.
Creed
- Origin:
  English word name
- Meaning:
  "I believe; statement of belief"
- Description:
  Cool, solid, and often spiritual, Creed derives from the Latin word credo meaning "I believe". It appeared sporadically in the US Top 1000 back in the late 19th century, but remained only quietly used the 2000s. By 2016 it was back in the charts, and as of 2023, Creed is given to around 400 babies each year.
Fairlight

Hattie
- Origin:
  English, diminutive of Harriet
- Meaning:
  "estate ruler"
- Description:
  In the USA, Hattie is one of those nicknames that is now more popular than its parent name, Harriet. In England, however, Harriet is still by far more popular than Hattie, while in Australia, Harriet is highly popular while no data exists on Hattie. In the US, we’d like to see Harriet get more usage but we’re happy to see Hattie again.
Ida
- Origin:
  German
- Meaning:
  "industrious one"
- Description:
  Many vowel names stylish a century ago are coming back, and Ida seems like a possible, logical successor to Ada and Ava.
Lundy
- Origin:
  Scottish
- Meaning:
  "grove near the island, place by the marsh"
- Description:
  A lively and engaging Scottish surname with an outdoorsy feel, Lundy (almost) coincides with the French word for Monday.

Margaret
- Origin:
  Greek
- Meaning:
  "pearl"
- Description:
  Margaret is derived from the French Marguerite, which in turn came from Margarita, the Latin form of the Greek Margarites. Margarites was based on the Old Persian word margārīta, meaning "pearl."
McNeil
Mountie

Opal
- Origin:
  Sanskrit
- Meaning:
  "gem"
- Description:
  Opal is on the verge of a repolishing, following other jewel names like Ruby and Pearl. A Top 100 name during the first two decades of the twentieth century, the opalescent Opal has a good chance of coming back as another O-initial option.
Swannie
- Description:
  Swannie is an uncommon feminine name with possible Dutch or English origins. It likely developed as a diminutive form of Swan or Swanhild, or as a variant of Swanja, a Frisian name. The name evokes the grace and elegance of swans, birds long associated with beauty, transformation, and fidelity in various cultural traditions. While rare as a formal given name, Swannie might be used as an affectionate nickname. Its charming, somewhat whimsical quality appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with natural associations. The name has a gentle, flowing sound and carries connotations of grace and purity. Though uncommon in contemporary use, its connection to nature gives it timeless appeal.
