Saintly Girls' Names

A certain group of famous people are important to Christians. They serve as role models for living a pure and holy life.

Saintly names belong to Catholic saints. However, not every name that has belonged to a saint counts as Saintly. Lucy and Mary might honor saints, but the connections don't immediately come to mind. Yet, other classics have stronger connections to their saintly namesakes, making them qualify. 

Here are some Saintly names for girls:

Even though the nature name is completely feminine, it feels more tailored than girly. Despite ending in the "ee" sound, Ivy sounds more confident than cute (the poison ivy and Ivy League associations could be factors). For those who find Ivy too popular, are looking for sister names, or just love the name, here are some similar names below the top 100: Aster A flower name that also possibly means "star," Aster is rising as a tailored girls' choice even though it is also rising, to a lesser extent, for boys.  Avis This short...

Disney Boys' Names

What do Pinocchio, Mickey, and Peter have in common? They belong to characters in Disney animated shorts and movies.  However, as with girls' names, Disney boys' names aren't necessarily those from the movies. Instead, they reflect the values of Walt Disney; vintage names with built-in dreams that are neither childish nor heavy. These names sound child-friendly but appropriate for adults. Here are some boys' names infused with Disney values that will especially appeal to Disney fans: Arthur Arthur "Wart" is the protagonist who draws out the sword and becomes king in  The Sword in the Stone .

Nickname "Art" and the aardvark of children's literature and television fame add on a friendly vibe.   Calvin Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comics might bring up childhood memories. On the accomplished side, there's Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and former President Calvin...
