Similar to the Turkish name Bilge (Bil-jeh), which has the same meaning.

Unisex Japanese name used by the singer Thalia as her daughter Sabrina's middle.

Cornish cognate of the Welsh Celyn.

Cute and quirky Zeldy adds some extra zip to Zelda — which is making its way back up the charts after decades out of the Top 1000.

Vista is a lively Spanish word name meaning "view" that has a lot of potential as a girl name.

Imoen is the name of a character from the video game series Baldur's Gate, although in real life it's apt to be mistaken as a typo for Imogen.

Onika is the birth name of Trinidad and Togago-born celebrity Nicki Minaj.

A Scandinavian short form of Johanna, properly pronounced with a Y sound at the start, but would likely be read as the more prosaic "John-a" in an English-speaking context.

Panra is a lovely nature name, meaning leaf, which would easily wear outside its native Pakistan. Pakistani singer Gul Panra is probably the most famous person with this name.

Satya can be either a feminine or masculine name. It is strongly connected to the virtue, and in order to have "satya" one must be truthful not only in words, but also in actions and thoughts. Satya is a great name for those in the West who have Indian roots or are looking for a discreet virtue name.

Where's Walda? Out of the running.
