Fantasy OC - PC Names - Female

An offbeat approach to Bella. Also a Yiddish form of Bilhah, one of the four women who gave birth to the tribes of Israel.

A unique cousin to Talia.

Might sound as if your child had the sniffles every time she said her name.

A name to consider when seeking an offbeat substitute for the more familiar Mariah.

Rare but attractive female form of Basil.

This feminization of Bastian really stems from Sebastian — a Latin name that came from the Greek Sebastos, meaning "honored" or "revered".

Derived from the Germanic element badu "battle" combined with Old Norse hildr "battle", this name belonged to a 7th-century English saint who became queen of the Franks after being sold to them as a slave.

Popular with the Puritans, this name of the shrewd and beautiful wife of King David and mother of King Solomon could be a bit of a load for a modern girl to carry.

With Katya catching on, this sound-related name could too, though there is the Batgirl association. Basha, Basya, Batyah, Bitya, Peshe, Pessel (Yiddish).

Beata, a Latinate saint's name, has been widely used primarily by Roman Catholics in several European countries, but is rarely heard in English-speaking countries. Playground alert: could be mispronounced Beeta.

Another candidate for mispronunciation.

This fanciful Irish extension of Bridget is known here through the wacky Amelia Bedelia books for kids -- an association your child may or may not like.
