From trees to water to flowers: these 12 picks range from common to nearly unheard of--but all of them are naturally lovable.
  • Hazel - Wildly popular at the turn of the twentieth century, this English name was out of favor for decades until its rapid climb to #63 in recent years. Meaning "the hazelnut tree," it's even more popular in New Zealand.
  • Lake - This unique names evokes images of clear, blue water. It has no traditional name foundations, having been taken directly from the word 'lake', and also has no ranking with the SSA.
  • Aurora - Borne by both a Roman goddess and a the magnificent Northern Lights (not to mention a princess), this Latin name has been steadily growing in popularity for decades. Meaning "dawn," it's currently ranked at #79 and is more popular than ever.
  • Briar - This woodsy moniker came in at #844 last year, breaking into the top 1000 for the first time ever. Originating from England, it's reminiscent of fairy-tales and wild berries, it means "a thorny patch."
  • Daisy - Both a nickname for Margaret in France (Marguerite refers to a daisy in French) and a reference to the flower (whose names comes from the words "day's eye"), this peppy choice has risen in favor in the last several decades. It currently ranks at #183 but was most popular was in the year 1900.
  • Primrose - Believe it or not, this name has never made it high enough to rank in the US. Both a Scottish surname and an English flower, it means "first rose."
  • Iris - Referring to the flower and meaning "rainbow" from the Greek goddess by the same name, it reached its peak popularity in the mid 1920s. It has been steadily growing more favorable for the last decade, landing at #217 last year.
  • Sage - This herbal name has been hovering around its current place of #370 for the last 15 years and, over the years, has been equally loved for both girls and boys. In addition to its reference to the herb, the name, which is Latin, also means "wisdom."
  • Aspen - This name, which has been gaining popularity for nearly 10 years, refers to both the slender, graceful tree (known as poplar in other parts) and possibly the Colorado city. It ranks at #372 for girls, but is also used for boys.
  • Fern - Once a top pick in the early 20th century, this plant-name has almost completely dropped out of use in the last 50 years. Conjuring thoughts of the sun-dappled forest floor, it's a wonder more girls don't bear the name.
  • River - Swift and strong, this name has traditionally been chosen for boys but in recent years a third of all babies given this name have been girls. Impressively, it moved up the list over 600 spots in the last 5 years, reaching #350 in 2015.
  • Magnolia - Perhaps the prettiest one on the list, this Latin flower name saw its most popular year in 1909. It's now on the comeback trail, moving up 200 places in a single year, and ranking at #633. With sweet nicknames like 'Maggie' and 'Nola,' it's sure to keep on gaining popularity.
