Girl
Claudia
Claudia means "Latin, feminine of Claudius" and comes from Latin, giving it real etymological depth as a girl's name. It has cooled since its 1950s peak, though it is still chosen today. As things stand now, it is a solidly familiar choice. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
