Séle

This Irish/Gaelic name, pronounced SHAY-la, is an elaboration of the short and simple Sé (pronounced SHAY), or in the old written language Séaghdha. This name means Majestic Hawk.

I love this alternate spelling, and the sound that gives visions of a woodland princess. Other variations of this name are the Anglicised Shayla, and Indian Chaila.

Perrine

The French, feminine version of Peter. Pronounced as peh-REEN, it is uber chic, and has nickname possibilities such as Perry (or Perrie), Rina or just Ree. 

of Jesus disciples, Peter was the one previously named Simon. He was re-named Peter as he was to be a rock of the new Christian faith, in being a founding leader of the church.

Katalini

This Hungarian name is a version of English Katherine, meaning Pure. They both derive from Greek ‘Εκατερινη or Hekaterine, which which is thought to have come from the Greek goddess Hecate, the goddess of spells, graveyards and tombs, demons, crossroads, and the underworld.

In early Christian times it became associated with Greek  καθαρος or katharos, which means Pure.

I like the variation Katalini, it sounds petit and innocent, which fits it's meaning. Nicknames like Kat and Lina make it seriously useable and cultured to boot.

Agron

An ancient Greek mythological name, belonging to a young man on the island of Cos. He has two sisters, and together they were disrespectful to the gods, who in turn transformed them into birds.

This name is also Albanian/Illyrian, and was the name of a king from 250 BC.

I feel that this name could easily be used gender neutrally, it is uncommon enough to not have any gender expectations, plus it has cool nicknames like Aggie and Ron, even Gron is uber punk and unique.

This name was inspired by the television mini series Spartacus, Agron was a lieutenant played by Daniel Feuerriegel.

🎄🌟⛄ Scandinavian Christmas theme names ⛄🌟🎄

Meaning of the name Josva: "God is salvation".

Pronounced as Yoss-vah, this Danish name is our Scandi version of the central character of the Christmas story, Jesus. It's derives from the Hebrew Yĕhôshúa, from which both Jesus and Joshua stem from.

I like nickname Jos (Yoss) and how it fits well with bold, modern, masculine names like Voss, Boss, Ross and Hoss

Amber-Rose

Made from two English names, Amber meaning Gemstone and Rose meaning fame (deriving from German Roese) we gain the meaning "Famous Gem".

Amber-Rose has a classical feeling, but punch and grit on the side. Hippy, without being OTT. Ageless, without being vintage. Floral, without being floaty. On the money.

Jullisa

Meaning of the name Jullisa: Daylight or Sunshine

This name, of English origin is pronounced as Melissa but with a J sound at the start. It is effectively a derivative of Julius.

Jullisa is sweet and feminine, easy to shorten to Liss or Lissa, and makes me think of meadow Daisys. A very unique option, not often heard, but easy to integrate.
