For those indecisive parents that are having problems deciding on a name for their new progeny, fear not, the legendary Eleni Aristede has come to your rescue as always. This is a list of Celestium's most popular names, past and present.
- Abelia
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"sigh, breath"Description:
This feminine form of Abel is also a flower name and makes a distinctive alternative to the widely used Abigail. There is a similar name, Adelia, that is beginning to be rediscovered thanks to the trend for all names Adel- related.
- Abilene
Origin:
English from HebrewMeaning:
"grass"Description:
Abilene is a rarely used place name, mentioned as such in the New Testament, that combines the cowboy spunk of the Texas city with the midwestern morality of the Kansas town where Dwight D. Eisenhower spent his boyhood. Abilene is a much more untrodden path to the nickname Abbie/Abbie than the Top 10 Abigail.
- Abraxas
Origin:
Persian mythology nameDescription:
Abraxas is a sci-fi-sounding name with earthly possibilities, but some playground challenges.
- Ace
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"one, unity"Description:
No longer tied to the hapless Ace Ventura, this jaunty, high-flying nickname name is starting to take flight among celebrity and other parents, with its countless positive references to doing well in tests and poker games, on the tennis court and golf course, and in the air.
- Ada
Origin:
German or TurkishMeaning:
"noble, nobility, or island"Description:
Ada is one of the classic baby names for girls that is suddenly super stylish again. A favorite at the end of the nineteenth century, Ada is an alternative to the over-popular Ava. Ada is also part of the trend toward simple, old-fashioned names beginning with a vowel, like Ivy and Ella.
- Adalie
- Adara
Origin:
Arabic; HebrewMeaning:
"virgin; or noble, exalted"Description:
Perfect name for a Virgo or an Aries baby. It is also the name of a character in the fantasy Belgariad series.
- Adelie
- Adira
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"strong"Description:
Adira is one of those rare names that's both little-used and simple, and crosses languages easily. Pronounced ah-DEER-ah, Adira is given to only a handful of girls in the US each year and could make a worthy substitute for such overexposed favorites as Ava and Ariana.
- Adonis
Origin:
Greek, from Semitic AdonaiMeaning:
"lord"Description:
The name of a figure from Greek mythology, Adonis is a high-pressure name often synonymous with masculine beauty. Nonetheless, many mythological names that would have previously been deemed off limits have made their way up the popularity charts—for instance, Penelope currently ranks highly for girls. And indeed, Adonis was one of the fastest-rising boys' names of 2016, moving up 307 spots on the U.S. popularity chart in just one year.
- Adora
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"adored"Description:
A name that would lavish your child with adoration, a princess name--as in Princess Adora of She-Ra: Princess of Power.
- Adore
- Aeliana
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"sun"Description:
This female form of the ancient Latin Aelian has an appealing sound, though kids might have a hard time handling that initial "ae" spelling. Just remember that the "ae" is pronounced "ee" (think Aesop's fables).The Annals of Aeliana is a children's fantasy series by Ryan Watters. The meaning is uncertain but is thought to derive from the Greek helios, which means sun.
- Aemilia
Origin:
RomanMeaning:
"rival"Description:
Aemilia is the Ancient Roman spelling of the popular Emilia and family. With Emilia and Amelia so popular, this version, while authentic and attractive, will only create confusion without adding real distinction.

Greek, female variation of AeneasMeaning:
"the praised one"Description:
This name found in the fantasy series Endymion/Rise of Endymion has a slightly physiological feel to it.
- Aeneas
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"the praised one"Description:

- Aenya
- Aeric
- Affinity
Origin:
Word nameDescription:
Sympathetic new twist on a Puritan virtue name.
- Agata
Origin:
Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Polish, Slovene, Russian, Croatian, Serbian variation of AgathaDescription:
