  5. Pipitsa

    • Description:

      Pipitsa is an uncommon feminine name with Greek origins, functioning as an affectionate diminutive form. In Greek usage, it serves as a cute, endearing nickname, similar to how English speakers might use terms like 'little one' or 'sweetie.' The name has a playful, melodic quality with its repetitive 'pi' sound followed by the diminutive suffix. While rarely used as a formal given name outside of Greek communities, Pipitsa captures the warmth and expressiveness characteristic of Greek familial terms of endearment. The name might appeal to parents with Greek heritage looking to celebrate their cultural background with a name that embodies affection and charm, though its highly specific cultural context makes it unusual in international settings.

      Hungarian variation of Alice, from German

    • Meaning:

      "noble"

    • Description:

      Aliz, traditionally spelt Alíz, is a Top 50 name in Hungary and puts a zippy spin, thanks to that final z, on the classic Alice. Its similarity to names such as Elise may cause some confusion, but its simplicity makes it a winner.
  7. Lexus

    • Origin:

      Greek variation of a diminutive of Alexis

    • Description:

      Lexus, an automotive newcomer, has recently entered the Top 1000 -- more because of its association, we fear, with the status symbol car than its relation to the name Alexis. If you love this name, do your child a favor and make it Alexis or at least spell it Lexis.
  8. Zoei

    • Origin:

      From the Greek name Zoe meaning life.

    • Description:

      This is the clumsiest and least popular version of the classic Greek name Zoe. Little wonder this variation has fallen nearly 200 places in the US popularity rankings in just 2 years. We recommend you stick with the beautiful and elegant Zoe (which, for those of you looking to avoid overly-used names, is less popular than the American spelling 'Zoey').
  9. Anastasha

      Anastasha is a feminine name that appears to be a creative blend of Anastasia and Natasha, both names with Russian and Slavic origins. Anastasia comes from Greek roots meaning 'resurrection' or 'rebirth,' while Natasha is a diminutive of Natalia, meaning 'birthday' or 'born on Christmas Day.' This fusion creates a melodious, elaborate name with an exotic flair. Anastasha remains quite rare, making it an option for parents seeking something distinctive yet with recognizable elements. The name carries a regal, sophisticated quality while maintaining the warm familiarity of its parent names. Its rhythmic four syllables and soft ending sound create a feminine impression with substantial presence.

Its feminine usage is quite rare and may represent a modern trend of gender-neutral naming.

The name has a distinctive, exotic quality with its flowing syllables and unusual spelling.
