Girl names beyond the top 1,000 of 2009

stars

The top 1,000 baby girl names of 2009 can be found at the Social Security Administration’s website. But what about all the other names that were doled out last year? Those names are also available via the SSA I recently discovered (thanks Kelly!).

Just a few hours ago I posted a list of boy names that didn’t make the top 1,000 last year, but were still given to 100+ babies. Here is the equivalent (and much longer) list of girl names, grouped by the number of babies that received each name:

*Nyasia could have made the top 1,000. In fact, it should have made the top 1,000. It was given to 263 babies, just like the names that ranked 996th-1,000th (Gretchen, Karli, Kloe, Lilyanna and Mireya). But it came in last alphabetically, so in the eyes of the SSA it’s name #1,001. Sad, sad…

Baby name needed: Girl name for Cecily’s sister

A reader named Baccara has a daughter named Cecily. She’s expecting a second baby girl in May, and she’d like some name suggestions. She writes:

To give you an idea of our style, we like feminine names. We also tend to gravitate towards more unusual names, or at least ones that are not trendy.

Here are three names she and her husband are considering:

  • “Charlotte has always been a contender (during both pregnancies), although its popularity is now becoming somewhat of a deterrent.”
  • Camilla. “However, after reading your December post on sibling names, I am concerned that both names are too overtly similar (first initial, number of syllables) to work well together.”
  • Adele, though Baccara’s “husband is concerned with it having a religious affiliation (Hebrew).”

Their surname is a one-syllable N-name, so short names and names that end with n are out.

First, a couple of thoughts:

Cecily and Camilla do have the same first letter and number of syllables. But they don’t start with the same sound, and they don’t have the same rhythm. So I agree that they’re similar, but I don’t know if they’re too close. I think they might work pretty well together, in fact.

I also like Adele with Cecily. The name isn’t Hebrew in origin, though. It’s based on the Germanic word adal, meaning noble. (The first half of Adelaide comes from the same place.) I’m not aware of the name Adele being strongly associated with religion. (Am I overlooking something?)

Here are some other names that I think sound good with Cecily:

Allegra
Althea
Anastasia
Augusta
Aurora
Bianca
Dorothy
Eloisa		Fabiana
Felicia/Felice
Flora
Francesca
Gemma
Geneva
Genevieve
Isidora		Junia
Leona/Leonora
Lydia
Marcella
Margot
Minerva
Miranda
Miriam		Muriel
Phoebe
Portia
Rosemary
Therese
Valencia
Wilhelmina
Yvette

(I omitted Amelia, Evelyn, Vanessa and Victoria because I thought they might be too trendy/popular for Baccara’s taste.)

Which of the names above do you like best with Cecily? What other name suggestions would you offer to Baccara?

Baby name needed: Girl name for Elise’s sister

I received this e-mail from a reader named Melissa two days ago*:

My 3 year old is Elise, and I need a girl’s name to go with it. I’m due in less than 2 weeks and we are STUCK! Please help!

Here are some names that might sound good with Elise:

Adele
Amelia
Angie
Anna
Annette
Audrey
Bianca
Camille
Carolyn		Celia
Clara
Flora
Helen
Josie
Lillian
Marie
Molly
Natalie		Nelle
Nina
Noelle
Petra
Simone
Sonya
Sylvie
Willa
Yvette

Some of the names that go with Lydia could also work.

Can you think of other names that go with Elise? (I’m sure Melissa would appreciate any and all suggestions, no matter how random.)

*This question was short and time-sensitive, so I posted it ahead of several others. I apologize to those I skipped over; I will get to your questions soon.

Update – The baby is here! Scroll down to the final comment (dated October 20th) to see what her name is.
