Gordon

Gordon is another way to honor Juliette Gordon Low. A Scottish surname meaning great hill, Gordon peaked in the 1930s and is currently ranked at Number 935. Perhaps the popularity of Jordan has affected the popularity of Gordon. Gordon may remind you of restaurateur Gordon Ramsay or Lizzie’s sidekick, DavidGordoGordon, on the show Lizzie McGuire’s.

The first Girl Scout troop was formed in Juliette Gordon Low’s hometown of Savannah, Georgia. Savannah Smiles, a crisp lemon cookie in the shape of a smile were introduced in 2012 in celebration of the Girl Scouts first meeting 100 years prior.

Scout

Scout is a spunky word name that many associate with the lovable character in Harper Lee’s iconic novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Scout also brings to mind images of camping and exploring, perfect for a little Girl or Boy Scout. Last year 205 girls and 54 boys were named Scout.
