2022 girls singles

trying to make my UC more bearable so here is the extended list of all the names I like for girls
  1. Ada
    • Origin:

      German or Turkish
    • Meaning:

      "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.
  2. Aeronwy
    • Ailsa
      • Origin:

        Scottish from Norse
      • Meaning:

        "elf victory"
      • Description:

        Ailsa is a traditional Scottish name for girls related to a rocky island in the Firth of Clyde called Ailsa Craig. It might make an interesting alternative to the outdated Ashley or overly popular Ella, and could also be thought of as a relative of Elizabeth or Elsa.
    • Aisling
      • Origin:

        Irish
      • Meaning:

        "dream, vision"
      • Description:

        Aisling is currently a very popular Irish name for girls. Pronounced variously as ASH-ling, ASH-lin or ash-LEEN, it was part of the revival of authentic Irish names in the twentieth century, and is now being sparingly used by U.S. parents in place of the dated Ashley--though often spelled phonetically as Ashlyn or Ashlynn.
    • Amoret
      • Origin:

        Literary name
      • Description:

        This lovely name from Spenser's The Faerie Queene is borne by a character who represents married love. A related unusual-yet-usable choice: Amabel.

      • Origin:

        Greek,"battle of man"
      • Meaning:

        "battle of man"
      • Description:

        Andromache is a name found scattered throughout ancient literature. She was Hector's long-suffering wife in The Iliad and The Odyssey, featured in The Trojan Women and Andromache by Euripides, then later appeared in Shakepeare's Troilus and Cressida, and Jean Racine's 1667 play Andromaque. It is not likely to make many appearances in the modern world.
    • Andromeda
      • Origin:

        Greek mythology name
      • Meaning:

        "advising like a man"
      • Description:

        One of the stellar unique baby names from mythology, Andromeda was the beautiful daughter of Cassiopeia who, like her mother, literally became a star--the constellation that bears her name.The Bohemian Andromeda makes a dramatic and adventurous choice in a time when four-syllable mythological names are gradually making their way into the mainstream.
    • Anemone

        Flower name; Greek
      • Meaning:

        "daughter of the wind"
      • Description:

        Anemone is a floral name that relates to the ancient Greek myth of the famous love story of Aphrodite and Adonis, in which Aphrodite transforms her wounded lover's blood into a flower, the crimson anemone, whose blossoms are opened by the wind — accounting for its other name, windflower.
    • Annunziata
      • Aphra

          Hebrew, variation of Aphrah
        • Meaning:

          "dust"
        • Description:

          Aphra would make an interesting choice-- especially since it's the name of the first professional female writer in English, the seventeenth century's Aphra Behn. Born in 1640, she was a prolific dramatist of the English Restoration, and a spy.
      • Aphrodite
        • Origin:

          "foam or born from the sea"
        • Description:

          The name of the Greek goddess of love has rarely descended to mortal use, though the Roman equivalent Venus, thanks to tennis star Williams, now seems completely possible. But with the new fashion for goddess names, we may see more little Aphrodites in the playground with Jupiter and Juno. Nineteen baby girls received the name in the US last year.
      • Apolline
        • Origin:

          French form of Apollonia
        • Description:

          A pretty, dainty name for one of the little characters in the children's book series The Borrowers. It was the basis for a later Studio Ghible animated film, The Secret World of Arrietty.

      • Artemisia
        • Origin:

          Greek, variation of Artemis
        • Description:

          You might think Artemisia is the feminine form of the name, but in fact the original Artemis is feminine too, the name of the Greek mythological goddess of the moon.

          English

          "ash tree"

Aspen started as a unisex name possibility but now is much more frequently worn by girls.
