Wrigley is a fast-rising name for boys and girls right now in the US. You're unlikely to hear it outside of Chicago, though, as most of these parents are huge fans of the Chicago Cubs, who play at Wrigley Field. For a more subtle Cubs-related baby name, try Addison or Clark—two streets that border the ballpark.

Odyssey is a rare and weighty word name — following the footsteps of Hero, Legend, Prosper, and Story. Despite its literal connection to Odysseus, Homer's epic hero, Odyssey has always been slightly more common among baby girls, possibly owing to its similarity to the likes of Issy, Chrissy, Ottilie, and Odile.
 
While it literally refers to Homer's epic, more figuratively, Odyssey is a word name, referring to a long and eventful journey. As such, it may appeal to those who like Venture, Wilder, Prosper, and Journey, but want something far rarer.
 
Given to 8 boys in the US (and 27 girls) in a recent year, this figure may rise following the 2026 movie adaptation of Homer's work.

Amaly is a delicate feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may be a variant of Amalia or Amelia, both derived from Germanic roots meaning "work" or "industrious." Alternatively, it could connect to the Arabic "amal" meaning "hope" or "aspiration." This multicultural background gives Amaly broad appeal across different regions. The name features a melodic quality with its soft consonants and flowing rhythm. While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, Amaly offers parents a distinctive choice that remains intuitive in pronunciation. The name carries associations with diligence and optimism through its etymological connections. Its brevity combined with a feminine ending makes it both modern and timeless, appealing to those seeking a name that balances uniqueness with accessibility.

Rody is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. It can function as a diminutive of Roderick (meaning 'famous power' from Germanic elements), Rodney ('island near clearing' from English), or Rodriguez (son of Rodrigo, from Spanish). In Irish contexts, it may relate to Ó Rodaigh ('descendant of Rodach'). The name has a friendly, approachable quality with its short syllables and 'y' ending. Rody has maintained modest usage across English-speaking countries without reaching mainstream popularity, making it a distinctive choice. Its versatility crosses cultural boundaries while maintaining a casual, boyish charm that can transition well into adulthood.

Beckley is a feminine name that originated as an English surname derived from Old English elements 'becca' (brook or stream) and 'leah' (woodland clearing or meadow), literally meaning 'clearing by the brook.' As a first name, it represents the modern trend of repurposing surnames and place names for given names, particularly for girls. With its bright, cheerful sound and natural imagery, Beckley appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet accessible. The name has a contemporary feel while maintaining connections to English heritage and natural settings. While still uncommon as a first name, Beckley fits with popular styling elements like the '-ley' ending found in names such as Hadley, Kinsley, and Ashley. Its rarity offers individuality while its familiar sounds make it approachable.

Bunny may be adorable, but is it really enough of a name for your daughter? Plus if Buffy is fluffy, what would that make Bunny? 

Still, Bunny as a baby name is in the spotlight since Bryan Adams named his little girl Mirabella Bunny. It makes an old school Waspy nickname for any name that starts with B.

Cady is one of those names that sounds popular but is actually rare in this form, given to only a few dozen baby girls in the US last year.

Its origins are unclear, and as many possible meanings and origins are cited as there are sources on the web. It may relate to male names Cade, which means round or barrel, or Caden, meaning battle. The similar Caddie is an antiquated nickname for Caroline.

One disadvantage is that Cady will forever be misunderstood as Katie. Advantage: It can be used, perhaps in the middle place, to honor women's rights leader Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
