Glory sounds fresh and uplifting and a lot more modern than Gloria (which is definitely feeling the stirrings of a revival, though some might still view it as a terminal Old Lady name). Glory, as in "Glory Be" and "Old Glory," has both a religious and a patriotic flavor.

Glyn is a pretty, glimmery name that is heard much less often than Welsh sisters Gwen and Bryn. It is also used for boys and might make a good honor name for an ancestral Glenn.

There's a whole quarry of rocky names parents are now considering: Slate, Flint, etc. , but this one is particularly hard-edged and problematic.

An alternative to the formerly male Ariel, which is now in the grasp of "The Little Mermaid."

The modern Welsh name for the River Severn, the longest river in Britain, which partly forms the border between England and Wales. Both Severn and Hafren come from the ancient British name Sabrina.
