This sassy, spunky name was used for the mostly Irish jump-roping pigtailed girls of the thirties and forties -- and some Irish and Italian boys as well. Its most noted bearer was iconic country music singer Patsy Cline (born Virginia), and was sighted most recently in the Ab Fab movie. After reaching Number 52 in the late thirties, it dropped off the list completely in 1970--and we're not anticipating a return.

The Rainy spelling puts this name firmly in word name territory, an appealing option following the rise of Stormi. Rainey is the most popular spelling of the name, given to about 50 girls last year, with half as many called Rainy and a quarter named Rainie, the spelling used by Andie MacDowell for her now-grown daughter.

Ruby could be a short form of the Biblical name Reuben and especially its streamlined form, Ruben. As a gemstone name, it's currently enjoying a fresh boom of popularity for girls – nearing the US Top 50 for the first time in almost a century. 
Despite its two waves of popularity for girls, it has been occasionally used for boys since the 1890s. Since Ruby re-entered the US Top 100 for girls in 2011, nearly 70 boys have been bestowed the name.
 
While Ruby isn't likely to become a (statistically) unisex name just yet, as softer options like True, Ari, Robin, Casey, Alby, and Tatum come into style, perhaps a few more parents will consider it?

A wild word name, connected to ideas, explanations, speculation, and possibility, Theory makes a unexpected option. While some might sound oddly hypothetical for a real baby, it was nevertheless chosen for 14 girls in a recent year. 
 
The actors and content creators Lena and Anthony Todd picked the name in 2025 for their daughter, Theory Grace Light. In an Instagram post, Lena Anthony explained that for them, Theory is associated with seeking divine truth and sharing it with others.

Timmy is a warm, friendly masculine name that originated as a diminutive form of Timothy. The root name Timothy comes from the Greek "Timotheos," meaning "honoring God" or "honored by God," and appears in the Bible as the name of Paul's young companion. Timmy gained significant popularity in the mid-20th century, often used as both a nickname and a given name in its own right. The name evokes a sense of youthfulness and approachability, and has been featured in popular culture through characters like Timmy Turner in "The Fairly OddParents" animated series. While some parents now prefer to use Timothy on birth certificates, Timmy continues to be chosen for its cheerful, unpretentious quality and familiar sound. Its usage has declined since its peak but maintains steady recognition.

Fitting in with Scottie, Stevie, Frankie, and Birdie, Ziggy is a nickname-y choice that feels energetic, cutesy, and cool. Borrowing star quality from Ziggy Stardust and Ziggy Marley, Ziggy is predominantly used on boys, however, since the death of David Bowie in 2016, it has been quietly gathering attention as a girls name, with 43 babies given the name in a recent year. 
 
If you love Ziggy, but would prefer it use it as a nickname, you could consider Sigrid, Zinnia, Agnes, Agneza, Grazia, Graziana, Zariah, Zipporah, Kensington / Kenzington, Sieglinde - or any name, if you're happy to use it as a generic nickname along the lines of Scout, Birdie, or Honey.

Zury is a contemporary feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be derived from Hebrew, where it could be related to 'Tzuri' meaning 'my rock' or 'my strength.' Alternatively, it could be a modern invention or a shortened form of names like Azura or Zsuzsanna. The name has gained some popularity in Latin American communities, where short, distinctive names with strong sounds are often favored. Zury appeals to parents seeking a concise, modern-sounding name with an energetic 'Z' beginning. Its brevity and distinctive sound make it memorable, while its multicultural potential allows it to work well across different language backgrounds.

Avory is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from the Old French name Aubri, meaning 'elf ruler,' or from the English surname Avery, which originated from the Norman French names Alberich or Alfred. Traditionally used for both genders, Avory has more recently leaned feminine, though remains gender-neutral. This spelling variation, with the 'o' rather than the more common 'e' in Avery, gives the name a distinctive quality while maintaining the same melodic sound. The name has seen modest usage in English-speaking countries, appealing to parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. Avory carries a sophisticated, slightly vintage feel with its soft sounds and literary associations.
