EUGENIE  

Gender: F
Origin: Greek
Meaning: "wellborn"

The elegant Eugenie enjoyed a major dusting off when Fergie and Prince Andrew chose it for their daughter, restoring some its tarnished royal sheen. It's pronounced yoo-jzehn-ee, versus yoo-jeen-ya for Eugenia.

Eugenie is being discussed in our message boards:
