ABIJAH. Hebrew, ‘God is my father’. Abigail with rhythm. Abeedja, Abeeja, Abeesha, Abija, Abisha, Abishah.
ABILENE. English from Hebrew, ‘grass’; also American place name. Here is a spiced-up spunky version of the popular Abbie nickname. Abalene, Abalina, Abilena, Abiline.
ABITAL. Hebrew, ‘my father is dew’. Although it’s popular for boys as well as girls in Israel, we don’t see it happening here. Abeetal, Avital.
ABRA. Feminine variation of ABRAHAM. Soft, sensitive feminine form of Abraham – but there is the risk that it could too often be followed by ‘cadabra’. Abame, Abarrane, Abbrienna, Abbryana, Abrahana, Abréa, Abrea, Abreana, Abreanna, Abreanne, Abree, Abreeana, Abreia, Abreona, Abreonia, Abri, Abria, Abriah, Abriann, Abrianna, Abriannah, Abrianne, Abriéa, Abrieana, Abrielle, Abrien, Abrienna, Abrienne, Abrietta, Abrion, Abrionée, Abrionne, Abriunna, Abryann, Abryanna, Abryona, Abrya. International: Abriana (Italian).
ABRIAL. French, ‘open, secure, protected’. Stronger, more distinctive than April or Avril.
Aabriella, Abrail, Abreal, Abreale, Abriale, Abriel, Abriell, Abrielle, Abrilla, Abrille, Abryell.
ACACIA. Greek nature name. Attractive, rarely-used Greek nature name of a flowering shrub that symbolises resurrection and immortality, especially good for an Easter baby. Acasha, Acasia, Acasiya, Acasya, Acatia, Acaysha, Accacia, Accasie, Accassia, Acey, Acie, Akacia, Akakia, Akaysha, Caci, Cacia, Cacie, Casey, Casha, Casi, Casia, Casie, Cassie, Cassy, Caysha, Kacey, Kaci, Kacia, Kakia, Kakie, Kasi, Kasie, Kasia, Kassja, Kassi, Kassie, Kassya, Kassy.
ACADIA. Place name. The French name for Nova Scotia – and the name of a gorgeous American national park in Maine – makes a fresh, rhythmic choice for your little girl. Acadiah, Acadya, Acadyah, Cadi, Cadia, Cadie, Cady.
ADA. German, ‘noble, nobility’. A favourite at the end of the nineteenth century that hasn’t come back…yet. But with the new trend towards simple, old-fashioned names beginning with a vowel – Ava, Ella – you may consider being one of the first to revive it. Adabella, Adabelle, Adah, Adalee, Adan, Adaya, Adda, Adette, Addi, Addie, Addiah, Addy, Adey, Adi, Adia, Adiah, Adie, Aida, Aidah, Auda.
ADAH. Hebrew, ‘beautiful, adorned’. Pronounced AH-dah, this unusual biblical name – the first female name in Genesis after Eve – is a softer Ada equivalent. Ada, Addah.
ADAIR. Scottish and Irish, ‘oak tree ford’. Has lots of flair; consider it in place of the overused Aidan. Adaire, Adare, Adayre.
ADALIA. Hebrew, ‘God is my refuge’; German, ‘noble one’. Luxurious and distinctive. Adal, Adala, Adalane, Adalea, Adaleah, Adalee, Adalene, Adali, Adalie, Adaliah, Adalin, Adalina, Adaline, Adalinn, Adalley, Adaly, Adalya, Adalyah, Adalyn, Adalynn, Adalynne, Addal, Addala, Addaly, Addalyn, Addalynn.
ADAMINA. Hebrew, ‘child of the red earth’. This feminine form of Adam (Adama is another one) has none of the simple elegance of the original. Try Eve. Ada, Adama, Adamah, Adameena, Adamine, Adaminna, Addie, Ademina, Ademeena, Mina, Minna.
ADARA. Arabic, ‘virgin’; Hebrew, ‘noble, exalted’. Perfect name for a Virgo baby. Adair, Adaira, Adaora, Adar, Adarah, Adare, Adaria, Adarra, Adasha, Adauré, Adra.
ADDIE. Diminutive of ADELAIDE or ADELINE. Old-fashioned nickname with sweet turn-of-the-last-century charm that could work today. Aday, Adde, Addee, Addey, Addi, Addia, Addy, Ade, Adee, Adei, Adey, Adeye, Adi, Adie, Ady, Atti, Attie, Atty.
ADDISON. English, ‘son of Adam’. Rapidly moving in on Madison. Addis, Addisen, Addisson, Addyson, Adis, Adisa, Adisen, Adison, Adisynne, Adysen.
ADELAIDE. German, ‘noble, nobility’. Best known as the German princess who married the British King William in the 1830s, inspiring the name of the Australian city and a craze for her name. Recently chosen by Aussie actress Rachel Griffiths. Ada, Adalaide, Adalayde, Addala, Addalla, Addey, Addi, Addie, Addy, Adel, Adela, Adelade, Adelaid, Adelaida, Adelais, Adele, Adelei, Adelheid, Adeliade, Adelina, Adeline, Adelice, Adelicia, Adelis, Adelita, Adeliza, Adelka, Adelle, Adelvice, Adelvicia, Adey, Adi, Adlin, Adline, Ado, Ady, Aley, Aline, Aliosha, Alline, Alyosha, Del, Delia, Delle, Delli, Delly, Edeline, Eline, Heidi, Lady, Laidey, Laidy. International: Ailis (Irish), Adélaïde (a-day-la-EED) (French), Alida (Hungarian).
ADELE. German, ‘noble, nobility’. In fashion-limbo. Adel, Adela, Adelia, Adelie, Adell, Adella, Adellah, Adelle, Adile, Edelle.
ADELIA. Variation of ADELAIDE. Much more accessible and rarely-used form, worth consideration. Adeliah, Adelya, Adelya.
ADELINE. French, diminutive of ADELE. Many contemporary parents like this name’s old-fashioned ‘Sweet Adeline’ charm, perhaps seeing it as a less-used cousin of the ultratrendy Madeline. Adalina, Adaline, Adallina, Adelaine, Adelin, Adelind, Adelita, Adeliya, Adella, Adellah, Adelle, Adelyn, Adelynn, Adelynne, Adilene, Adlin, Adlina, Adline, Adlyn, Adlynn, Ahdella, Aline, Dahlina, Dalina, Daline, Dallina, Delina, Deline, Dellina, Delly, Delyne, Edelie, Lina. International: Adelina, Adette (French), Adelina (Slavic).
ADELPHA. Greek, ‘beloved sister’. Seriously classic name with lovely meaning. Adelfa, Adelfia, Adelphia, Delpha.
