Happy New Year! Names that bring happiness, hope and blessings

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and may the new year bring you joy and peace. As 2015 approaches, I thought it would be appropriate to post about names for a New Year's baby. 

Aurora
With a meaning of "dawn", the name of the main character in Disney's Sleeping Beauty is very appropriate for a New Year's baby. It's meaning could symbolise new beginnings, as dawn occurs at the start of the day.

Dagny
A Nordic name which has a meaning of "new day", making it very fitting for a baby born on New Year's. 

Esperanza
This is a pretty and exotic variant of Hope, originating from Spain. We often hope for better or new things when it's the New Year. 

January
This unusual month name is also used in France, where it is spelt Janvier. As January is the month that the New Year takes place in, it would be a good choice for a baby born around that time. It's most commonly used for girls, though with the nickname Jan, perhaps a little boy could pull it off too. 

Nadia
This spunky Slavic name also has a meaning of "hope". It has many European variants, including Nadine and Nantia. 

Nova
This unusual name couldn't have a more appropriate meaning than "new", and is of Latin origins.

Roxana
In Persian, this spunky name has a meaning of "dawn" or "bright". It has a famous historical namesake; Alexander the Great's wife.

Zora
A more exotic alternative to Zara, this name is of Slavic meanings, and also means "dawn".

Beatrice
This elegant name has a beautiful meaning of "she who brings happiness". As the New Year brings new happiness, this is a fitting name for a little girl born around that time. 

Felix
With a meaning of "happy", this handsome name would make a good choice for a little boy born on New Year's.

Asher
This Biblical name has a meaning of "happy", or "blessed". As the New Year is a happy time that will bring new blessings, this name is a good choice for a little boy born around that time.
