Lyra. This one has the potential to be a great 2021 name!

Lyra would be a perfect addition @ethelmary. It’s only missing because it made the list last year! How right we were :wink:

Caspian - I feel like I’ve seen that one popping up a lot lately, and it goes perfectly with names like [name_u]Cato[/name_u] and [name_u]Constantine[/name_u].

[name_u]Dove[/name_u]: A sweet and spunky nature name, and I think it will soar higher now that [name_f]Katy[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u] and [name_m]Orlando[/name_m] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]'s daughter is called [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] (same might happen for [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], too).

[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Elio[/name_m] came to mind. Also, Alba (I know Elio and Alba are very similar to two names on the list already, Ezio and Alma, but they still seem appropriate).

2 Likes

Definitely! Those last two have also made previous lists, or they’d be on this year’s for sure. I know you’re a big fan of [name_m]Elio[/name_m] in particular :sun_with_face: :wink:

Persephone came to mind! It’s quite popular on the Nameberry charts already.

Also possibly [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] (I see a lot of [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] here but nowhere else!) and [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]. :slightly_smiling_face:

Benedict, [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u], and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] are ones I see on Nameberry increasingly.

Andreas, [name_f]Ione[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f] :smiley:

I feel like [name_u]Clove[/name_u] has been gaining traction on here and could be the next [name_u]Sage[/name_u]. Works for all genders and is a good alternative to [name_u]Cove[/name_u]. Not sure if it was on any previous lists though!

Also I’ve been seeing lots of Isadora!

There are definitely some good ones here! I’ve been seeing a lot of [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] around here as well.

I loooove [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] :heart_eyes: I think it looks a bit alien to a lot of people but I’ve met a few and it’s perfect IRL too.

Maybe [name_u]Jasper[/name_u]. I feel like I’ve been seeing [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] around here a lot.

How about [name_f]Colette[/name_f]? I’m not sure if it was on a previous list, but I’ve seen it on the forums a lot and it seems to match the list really well!

Shasta for a girl, [name_m]Wilkie[/name_m] for a boy.

Thea - Girl and [name_m]Haynes[/name_m] (or [name_m]Haines[/name_m]) - boy

Mirren for girl, [name_m]Bramwell[/name_m] for boy.

([name_m]Can[/name_m] I vote more than once?)

Yes!, [name_f]Colette[/name_f] is a good one!

@Harvest-Endellion of course! We can have a best 127 names for 2021, no problem :wink:
