I’m Melanie and the meaning of my name is “Dark,” it is Greek. I have always enjoyed looking up the meaning of my family and friends names. It’s interesting to see just how much the meaning resembles the person. I have always had an eye for dark things. Anyhow, I am going to give you the top 10 baby girl names I like. Take note that these are not the “top” on other lists. They’re just names I like and are top on my list …

10. Althea
The origin of this name if Greek. The meaning is “One who brings healing.”
9. Raine
The origin of this name is French. The meaning is “Variant of Raina: Queen.”
8. Saffi
The origin of this name is Danish. The meaning is “Wise.” Many times, I have noticed people grow up and act like their name. So, parents these days put a lot of thought in the names they give their children – is that why kids are smarter? So, if you were to name your little girl Saffi, does that mean she would grow up and be wise? Perhaps.
7. Aya
The origin of this name is Hebrew. The meaning is “bird.” This is actually my daughters middle name “Aya Ann.” I have included her first name at number 1.

5. Aayana
The origin of this name is Native American. The meaning is “Eternal blossom.” This is actually a beautiful name, in my opinion. It not only has a beautiful meaning, but the way it is pronounced sounds beautiful. I think this would be a good name for the baby.
4. Aaeesha
The origin of this name is Muslim. The meaning is “Life, full of life.” I have always liked this name. Another way to spell it would be “Ayesha.”
3. Calista
This name comes from the Greek origin. The meaning of this name is “The most beautiful.” If you were to name your daughter Calista, would this mean that she would grow up and be very popular? Perhaps she would be the most beautiful.
2. Amaia
I always thought this name had a ring to it – it sounds pretty. The meaning is “end.”
1. Ariela
Yes, this is definitely a name that I love. Every time I hear this name, it is like music to my ears. Why do I like this name so much? Because it is my little girls name. For her nick name, I call her “Rella Bells,” “Rella Bella” or “Relly Belly.” This is Hebrew and it means “Lioness of God.”
Those are the top 10 baby names I like. Of course, my favorite ones are Ariela and Aya simply because of my daughter (after all, I did pick them). I enjoyed looking over my favorite names and giving you all the meaning of them. So, what is the meaning of your name and where exactly did it originate?

Susan: Susan is my name, it originated in Persia and means lotus or lily flower
Remi: I'm obsessed with the name Celestia. My name itself is Rama, and even though it's more popular as an Indian name, it's also Islamic too. It's pretty popular in Syria:)
raralee: I have had my name now for 60 years and I love it! In an era when girls were named jennifer, Barbara, Julie etc my darling mum named me Raina. I think the name you give your child is important as I always felt just that little bit less ordinary!
Melanie: My name is Melanie Aiyana - you can imagine I loved your post. My daughter's name is Ashtyn Jolie. I considered Amaya or Averie Joy for her too.
Susan: I know an Aayana
kissmebbylove: abella. :)
Danielle: ARIELA sounds like areola... She will be made fun of
Danielle: CALISTA!! 😍
Isabella: some sounded ghetto- EW!
