Paris
Paris, a one-time mythical and Shakespearean boys' name, has been shooting up the female popularity list, at least in part due to the highly publicized Paris Hilton.
Paris
The first famous Paris was a mythological prince of incredible beauty. The most recent was media darling Paris Hilton, inspirer of a generation of baby-girl namesakes. But since Pierce Brosnan and other celebs have continued to use it for their sons, the name retains some masculine identity. For girls, it jumped from #464 to #412 in the past year alone.
