Fantasy OC - PC Names - Female

Pretty and unusual translation of Bella.

Belinda, cousin of Linda and Melinda, enjoyed a brief return to the Top 1000 from 2005 through 2013, only to fall off again in 2014. A name that some may consider a modern spin on the midcentury popularity queen Linda is in fact a classic with deep and fascinating roots. In Babylonian mythology Belinda was the goddess of heaven and earth, and the name later was used for the heroine of Alexander Pope's satirical poem The Rape of the Lock.

A nickname for Bella or Isabella, from Isabelita.

A beautiful name with a combative meaning (from the Latin bellare "to fight"), belonging to a Roman goddess of war. Bellona has never appeared on the SSA list, but it could be an intriguing option for fans of the popular Belle/Bella.

The name of the character in Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" whom the poet intended as a representation of Queen Elizabeth I. While it will no doubt thrill your daughter's English professor, the addition of the "Bel" to already great Phoebe is on the fussy side.

An invented name inspired by the Irish/Scottish May Day festival of Beltane. And perhaps a modern way to honor a Tania?

Has a decidedly middle-aged image.

Beneba was used by enslaved people as a form of Abena, the Akan day name for girls born on Tuesday. A notable current bearer is Australian writer Maxine Beneba Clarke, who is of Afro-Caribbean descent.

Saintly, and a Mother Superior to boot.

The name was used in the Channel Island, Jersey. It is believed to be derived from the Latin root word "Bene" meaning good.

There are several fine Ben-beginning boy's names, such as BENJAMIN and BENEDICT, but girls names like this and BENJAMINA don't fare as well.

The strong and unusual name of a medieval (male) saint and a contemporary (female) novelist, Benilde Little.
