      "youthful; soft, downy"

    • Description:

      Jules is one of the adorable boyish nicknames newly fashionable for girls. It's rarer than Billie, with a cool and casual feel. It's use in the popular TV series Euphoria - where the character of Jules Vaughn was portrayed by Hunter Schafer - brought this name into the spotlight.
  5. Liz

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Elizabeth

    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"

    • Description:

      Some might think a girl named Liz on her birth certificate would feel deprived of her full identity, but in a time when mini names like Liv, Kit, Tru, Kai, Lou, and Bea are in style, Liz feels substantial enough that its bearer won't feel bereft.
  6. Marianna

    • Origin:

      Italian, Polish, English

    • Meaning:

      "drop of the sea, bitter, or beloved + grace"

    • Description:

      While Marianna looks like a spelling variation of Mariana, the two names have different etymologies. While the one-N spelling derives from the Roman name Marianus, Marianna is a combination of two classics, Maria and Anna, used in many European languages.
  7. Johnathan

    • Origin:

      Variation of Jonathan

    • Meaning:

      "gift of Jehovah"

    • Description:

      Some people may prefer this spelling to clarify the name's connection to John, but it could be one h too many, exemplified by its steady decline over the past two decades.
  8. Zach

    • Description:

      See Zac.
  9. Sloan

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Sloane

    • Description:

      Less popular than the Bueller-inspired Sloane but following on its coattails, this name ranks toward the middle of the Top 1000, but we see both spellings sticking around for years to come.
  10. Giuseppe

    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Joseph, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "Jehovah increases"

    • Description:

      This form of Joseph is an enduring classic in Italy where it remains in the Top 20. In the States it's been hovering under the radar for decades, but its spirited, distinctive-yet-familiar sounds might help it catch on, as Giovanni has
  11. Mikael

    • Origin:

      Scandinavian, Finnish, and Breton form of Michael

    • Meaning:

      "who is like God?"

    • Description:

      This variation of Michael is very popular in Iceland and Puerto Rico, but has only made the cut for the US Top 1000 two separate years —2016 and 2023. Angel-esque boy names ending in L trended upwards last year, meaning we may see some more little Mikaels around soon.
  12. Markos

    • Description:

      Markos is a masculine name with Greek origins, serving as the Hellenic form of Mark or Marcus. Derived from the Latin 'Marcus,' it ultimately relates to Mars, the Roman god of war, suggesting meanings of 'warlike,' 'dedicated to Mars,' or 'hammer.' Common throughout Greece and in Greek diaspora communities, Markos carries historical significance as it appears in the New Testament—Mark the Evangelist was the author of one of the four Gospels. The name has remained consistently used in Greek-speaking regions while offering non-Greeks an authentic alternative to the more common Mark. With its distinct ending yet familiar sound, Markos balances cultural heritage with accessibility.

  13. Vicki

    • Description:

      Vicki is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Victoria, which derives from Latin meaning "victory." This shorter, friendlier version gained significant popularity as an independent name during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. Vicki offers a perky, approachable alternative to the more formal Victoria, reflecting the mid-century preference for cheerful, nickname-style given names. Though its usage has declined since its peak, Vicki maintains associations with warmth and friendliness. The name carries a certain retro charm today, often bringing to mind the lively, can-do spirit of the Baby Boomer generation. Alternative spellings include Vicky and Vickie.
