The biblical Judith, the fourth most popular name in 1940, may be getting ready for a comeback in its full, elegant, if somewhat solemn form. Many of those earlier Judiths were called Judy—some after Judy (born Frances) Garland—preferring it over their more formal proper name. Today, Judith, like Deborah, may have shaken off just enough to appeal to parents looking for a traditional, yet under-the-radar biblical name. And Jude would be a likelier nickname these days than the Judge Judy connection.

The hurricane blew this one out of the realm of possibility.

Kayla is a modern invented name that emerged in the late 1950s. Despite its similarity to the name Michaela, Kayla most likely began as a combination of the then-popular name Kay and -la suffix.

Kayla can also be considered an Anglicization of the Gaelic surname MacCaollaidhe or MacCathail.

Keira is an attractive girls’ name that's gotten a huge boost from the meteoric rise of Keira Knightley.
