Baby girl names that were tops with BabyHold readers ranged from traditional and classic to more trendy and modern. The name Kayla got the top spot -- it's on the more modern and trendy side even though its overall popularity in the US has gone down some over the last 10 years. The other names that got top spots were Mia, Jessica, Arianna and Teagan -- a nice mix of names that represent a few different trends. The name Jessica was very popular in the US in the 1970s and 1980s but you may not know that it was originally coined by William Shakespeare himself from a Hebrew name found in the Old Testament of the Bible. Based on its appearance here on our list, it may be making a comeback.

Trendsetting names

One of the more interesting names on this list is Nevaeh -- this is the most popular representation of the reverse baby name trend. "Heaven" spelled backwards, it has soared in popularity in the US over the last 10 years. Another very popular trend last year and continuing strongly into 2011 is the classic baby name trend. Some classic names that appear below are Ella, Sofia and Rebecca. Short and sweet names seem to also be a dominant theme as well, with such names as Mia, Ava and Zoe being very highly sought-after.
