Other modern names for girls we include on this list are names with newly-fluid gender identities, such as Quincy and Jaden. There are also many place names that have become modern baby names, like Denali and Harlem. It stands to reason that with more names in use all the time, that many of those names would be newly-minted. Along with repurposed words and surnames, there are also plenty of modern girl names that are pure inventions, like Daleyza and Jream.
