Girls Names With Uplifting Meanings?

I’ve noticed I really seem to like names with positive/upbeat meanings, and I’d love some suggestions, in case I’ve missed any!

On my list, I have;
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - “good fortune; happy”
[name_f]Jubilee[/name_f] - “celebration”
[name_u]Hilary[/name_u] - “cheerful; happy”
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_f]Heaven[/name_f]/Heavenly
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f] - “desired”
[name_f]Mireya[/name_f] - “admired”
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]/Hannah
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] - “paradise”
[name_f]Promise[/name_f]
[name_f]Charity[/name_f]
[name_f]Serenity[/name_f]
[name_f]Selah[/name_f] - “praise”
[name_f]Miracle[/name_f]

What are some other word names/names in general that have positive, happy or otherwise uplifting meanings?

Thank you!

@teajay - I love Ailana, Allegra, Aurelia, Bonnie, Caoimhe, Elena, Sorcha, Alanna (my middle name, technically) and Zayna!

@anon80426808 - ugh, my beloved Aimee :frowning: I’m trying to convince S/O it wouldn’t be confusing, but I think I’m trying to convince myself more than anything :joy: My ex had an aunt Aimee as well, so I think the universe is trying to tell me Aimee just isn’t for me? I love Hope, Maria, Amity, Allegra, Felicity, Naomi, Bonnie, Helena, Annie and Annabelle!!

I would love to meet a baby [name_f]Pamela[/name_f]. [name_f]Pam[/name_f] is a bit dated, but I think [name_u]Mel[/name_u], [name_f]Mellie[/name_f], [name_f]Mella[/name_f], or [name_f]Pamela[/name_f] in full would be cute. If your husband doesn’t like the “gros” syllable, you could call her [name_f]Mila[/name_f] for short.

Or you could just name her [name_f]Mila[/name_f], which means “gracious” or “dear”. :slight_smile:

You have some great names on this list!

Nora means light which seems positive
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] means delicate which can be positive I think
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f] I read means “my god has answered”
[name_f]Helen[/name_f] means bright shining light

Some other straight up words that I associate with positivity and upbeat meanings [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_u]Lucky[/name_u], [name_f]Melody[/name_f], [name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f], [name_u]Dove[/name_u].
