I've always liked the full name of Heavenly Hiraani Tiger-Lily Hutchence, although I did for some reason think the order was Tiger-Lily Heavenly Hiraani - and I like that flow better.

I like Raelyn and Rayne. I also like Zayden as a sci-fi name.

BriellaBriella is the queen of my list, lol! To my eyes & ears she has the charm of Gabrielle (I think the four-syllable Gabriella is a little much sometimes), but she completely avoids the terrible "Gabby" / "Gabi" nickname.Other newfangled "modern English" names on my list:Willow
Phoenix (recent love)
Savanna
Autumn
Azura & Azuria
Cambria
Ember
Emerald
Everly
Juniper
Meadow
Misty
Moss
Peridot (PER-i-doh)
Raven
Romilly
Summer
Tallis
Tigerlily
&
Robin (though its modern use is more feminine)
Rowan
Ryland
Sylvan
Zephyr
&
Onyx (for either gender)
Forest
RiverMost of these have a definite "nature" theme.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Brayden. Caden and Jaden aren’t half bad either. A few respellings I can see the appeal of: Malakai, Alijah, Sylas.On the girls side, I have no beef with Hailey, Harper, Paisley, Kayla, Kehlani, Alani, even Nevaeh at this point. I think as names “grow up,” and their bearers become complex people who far exceed any stereotypes or judgments based on novel naming trends, the names themselves gain character and depth that were initially harder to see.
