@Zoey_Artemisia Actually, Alexis was originally male– diminutive of Alexander.

I went to Scotland in August and now I am obsessed with all things Scottish! My favorite Scottish boys names are
Malcolm
Boyd (my Grandfather’s middle name)
Craig
Struan
Duncan
Leith
Hamish
Tavish
Ferguson (my Grandmother’s maiden name)
And my favorite Scottish girl names are
Lindsey (my Mother’s name)
Flora
Bonnie
Ailis (pronounced AY-lish, it’s the Scottish form of Alice)
I also really love the name Fraser for a girl. I know it’s only ever been used for a boy but it’s meaning of strawberry makes me think it would perfectly fit a little redheaded girl!

I like that Dune made this list! I started thinking about it last month but didn’t get a very enthusiastic response
mill1020 Says:
Beach is a BOLD choice. I’m also surprised Maisie wasn’t on the list for up-and-coming Scottish girl names. I can see using Angelou as a middle.

Speaking of nature names–my children met a young couple from Colorado while they were playing in the mountains (Utah) today. The couple has a little baby girl named “Summit Maple.” Now that is a nature name!!!
southern.maple Says:
Not sure if Beach is name material. I do know a teenage girl named Summit, however.
PeachyOwl Says:
I think it should have said that Gus’s given name is Augustus (in The Fault in Our Stars) and he gets called that just as much as Gus. I mean, Gus is cute but I like it better with a more distinguished given name.
I really love Elspeth but I worry about it getting too popular because of the rise of Elsie.
I don’t understand how names like Mason and Madison are still “in”! Everyone here on Nameberry seems to hate matchy sounding names so I hope that people take inspiration from us!
Chloe14 Says:
For girls I hope Magenta, Louisiana and Carolina become widely used I think they are gorgeous names! And for boys I really love the nature name River so I hope that becomes a little more popular maybe then people in the UK will use it more. River is a gorgeous name! I love it.
Anaxandra Says:
Oh wow, Roxana! That is gorgeous. Although I think I prefer Roxanna. (It is more natural with my accent)

Alexis isn’t a name that’s been stolen for girls. It’s a diminutive of the name Alexandra, dating back to Ancient Greece.
