Happy New Year everyone! To tie in with the new year theme, I thought the first post in 2010 should be about names that relate to the start of something new. Most are quite unusual, so if you're after a unique name this may be the list for you!
Aurora - female, Latin for 'dawn'. I like the French alternative Aurore.
Dawn - female. Obvious association here!
Dagny - female, Scandinavian for 'new day'.
Idony - female meaning 'new'. I like the Scottish variant Idonea.
Nasima - female, Arabic for 'fresh air'.
Navin - male, Hindi for 'new'.
Neo - male, Latin for 'new'. Perhaps an alternative for the increasingly popular Leo.
Neoma - female, Greek for 'new moon'. This could be a sly way of dedicating your child's name to Twilight!
Oriana - female, Latin for 'dawn'.
Raanan - male, Hebrew meaning 'fresh'.
Roxanne - female, Persian for 'dawn'. I prefer the similar sounding Roxana, which is Persian for 'little star' and was also the name of the wife of Alexander the Great.
Sahar - female, Arabic for 'dawn'.
Zara - female, Hebrew/Arabic for 'dawn'.
Zelenka - female, Czech meaning 'fresh', 'new' and 'green'.
Zera - female, Hebrew for 'beginnings'.
Zora - female, Slavic for 'dawn's light'.
Zorina - female, Slavic for 'golden dawn'.
And I thought I'd finish this post with a small list of celebrity babies born in late 2009/early 2010. I'm sure these baby names will rise in popularity now that they're good enough for celebrities!
Cheyenne Genevieve - the daughter of rocker Chris Robinson and his wife Allison Bridges. The second child for Robinson, who also has son Ryder Russel with ex Kate Hudson.
Rocko Akira Clapp - son of Johnny Knoxville (Jackass fame) and girlfriend Naomi Nelson. Not really my taste but it will be interesting to see if Rocko takes off like Cruz.
Vida Alves McConaughey - the daughter of actor Matthew McConaughey and his model girlfriend Camilla Alves. As Matthew announced, Vida is Portuguese for life. A little sister for Levi.
Do any of these names take your fancy?
Happy New Year!
Love,
The Name Dame
