Great Unexpected Girls Names

English, diminutive of DorothyDescription:
Old-fangled nickname could make dot.com era short form or middle name.
- Clancy
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"red-haired warrior"Description:
Irish surnames are hot, and this one can successfully cross the line to work for girls, replacing the outdated Casey. And only a dozen girls were named Clancy in the US in one recent year (along with 27 boys), making it one of those rare Irish names that are both accessible and distinctive, classic and cool. Clancy is a winner for either gender.

Hebrew and Italian, diminutive of Daniella, Danielle, DanitaDescription:
Short form occasionally used on its own, with an open and friendly androgynous quality.
- Cambria
Origin:
Place name, Latin from WelshMeaning:
"Wales"Description:
Most names that start with Cam- are on the upswing, so why not this obscure term for Wales as well as for a prehistoric time period.
