Latin girl names

Latin girls' names dominate the current American chart — Olivia alone has been #1 for years. Add Beatrice, Lucia, Stella, Aurora, Camilla, Cecilia, Felicity, Valentina, Vivian. They tend to be musical, multi-syllabic, and structurally elegant, with built-in nicknames and clean pronunciation in almost any language. Many came into English through the Norman Conquest and the medieval church; others through the Romance-language revival of the last twenty years.
