MY 2 FAVORITE NAMES ARE SOPHIA & SARA
SOPHIA
From the Greek word meaning “wisdom”. The Eastern cult of St Sophia seems to be the result of misinterpretation of the phrase Hagia Sophia “holy wisdom” as if it meant “St Sophia”. The name became popular in England in the 17th and 18th centuries. The heroine of Fielding's novel Tom Jones (1749) is called Sophia Weston. In recent years, its popularity has been further increased by the fame of the Italian film actress Sophia Loren (b. 1934). In the Scottish Highlands it has been used as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Beathag (see Beathan). Derivatives: French, English, German: Sophie. Low German, Danish, Dutch: Sofie. Norwegian, Swedish: Sofia. Polish: Zofia. Czech: Zofie. Hungarian: Zsófia.
SARAH
Biblical: name of the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. According to the Book of Genesis, she was originally called Sarai (possibly meaning “contentious” in Hebrew), but had her name changed by God to the more auspicious Sarah “princess” in token of a greater blessing (Genesis 17: 15, “And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be”). In Ireland this has been used as an Anglicized form of Sorcha, in Scotland of Mór. Variants: Sara, Zara.
Cognate: Hungarian: Sára.
Pet forms: English: Sally, Sadie. Spanish: Sarita. Swedish: Sassa. Hungarian: Sári.

Afton - it is a river in England. I had a former student who had that name, and, while she was a rather hard-edged person, her lovely name made up for her attitude.
