Sonia

Sonia is a female name, Slavic origin meaning "Wisdom", derived from the Greek name Sophia. In Hindi, the meaning is "Golden".

Sonia currently resides at number 685 for females on the Social Security Administration's Top 1000 Baby Names of 2009. It peaked at number 171 in 1974.

Nicknames: Sunny, Nia

Sibling Names: Silvia, Lydia, Calvin, Estella, Marco, Natasha, Luca, Heath.

Variants: Sonja, Sonje, Sonni, Sonnie, Sonnjea, and Sonya. Sonya is variant of Sophia (Greek) which has 18 variant forms: Saffi, Sofia, Sofie, Soficita, Sofka, Sofy, Sofya, Sonja, Sonnie, Sonya, Sophey, Sophie, Sophy, Zofia, Zofi, Žofia, Zofya, and Zosia.

Sonia is:

an ethnic group from New Guinea;

and an English pop singer.

Sonia has a sexy side with a hint of intrigue, a name for a foreign secret agent. With it's silky smooth sound, it is a lovely alternative to mega-popular Sophia.

Lucille

Lucille is a female name, French origin meaning "Light".

Lucille currently resides at number 570 for females on the Social Security Administration's Top 1000 Baby Names of 2009.

Nicknames: Lucy, Cil, Cilla, Lulu

Sibling Names: Ruby, Glenn, Leo, Hazel, Edith, Harry, Clara.

Variants: None

Lucille is:

Both Kenny Rogers and Little Richard songs;

and BB King's Guitar.

Lucille is a fiery, sassy name thanks largely in part to the antics of Lucille Ball. Lucille sounds smart, clever, funny, adventurous, and most of all mischievous in a fun and playful way. The nickname Lucy is popular with Ivy League graduates, and it is a refreshing companion to the copious Lilys.

Samson

Samson is a male name, Hebrew origin meaning "Son of Service" or "Sun".

Samson currently ranks at number 882 for males on the Social Security Administration's Top 1000 Baby Names for 2009.

Nicknames: Sam, Sammy, Sonny

Sibling Names: Amos, Cyrus, Ephraim, Gideon, Esther, Judith, Miriam, Solomon

Variants: None

Samson packs a hefty wallop, but it condenses into short and sweet Sam. Parents wanting the nickname but not the popularity of hit Samuel may look at this, but Samson stands strong as a full name as well. There is the biblical connotation to overcome, but a strong man in the service of the Lord is not a bad one to honor your son with. And he will surely think the story of the jawbone is cool.

Nicodemus

Nicodemus is a male name, Greek origin meaning "Victory of the People".

Nicodemus has not appeared on the Social Security Administration's Top 1000 Baby Names for either gender in the last 100 years.

Nicknames: Nico, Nick, Nicky, Colin, Cole

Sibling Names: Bethany, Claudia, Stephen, Ethan, Gabriel, Sapphira, Susannah, Ezra

Variants: None

Nicodemus deals a heavy blow if used--it is unapologetically biblical, and quite a mouthful at that. But Biblical names have always been in style, and the more unique revivals--Azrael, Sapphira, Ezra, Moses--are garnering a lot of attention. Nicodemus has the benefit of sounding similar to friendly Nicholas, and sharing common nicknames, which may help it go down easier. A word of advice--if you are going to be particular, choose the nickname you prefer before the baby is born, because people WILL want to shorten it.

Vivien

Vivien is a female name, French origin meaning "Alive" or "Lively".

Vivien last appeared on the Social Security Administration's Top 1000 Baby Names in 1941--it peaked at number 515 for females in 1911.

Nicknames: Viv, Vivi

Sibling Names: Lilith, Edwin, Glenn, Eleanor, Ruby, Grace, Arthur

Variants: Vivienne, Vivian, Viviana

Vivien is a character from Arthurian Legend, also known as Lady of the Lake in some versions. English actress Vivien Leigh and American actress Vivien Cardone both bear the name, giving it the silver-cinema sparkle, and French painter Joseph Vivien casts an artistic gleam to it. It has been unused for long enough that Vivien can start making impressions all on its own soon.
