    • Description:

      This surname ultimately derives from a Galician place name meaning "fig tree", but has spread all over the Spanish-speaking world. It's not certain if it's ever been used as a first name, but it could work - especially as it's reminiscent of the operatic character Figaro.

  6. Enav
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "grape"

  7. Orange
    • Origin:

      Fruit and color name

      No babies of any gender were named Orange in the US in the most recent year counted. But that doesn't mean, in this era of anything-goes baby names, that it couldn't happen. In fact, Orange did appear in the US stats for boys throughout the 20th century, and was given to 20 boys in 1920. Not all that many, but still quite a lot to be called Orange.

    • Meaning:

      "pomegranate"
    • Description:

      A rare Hebrew word name from the Old Testament, where it is used to refer to a man from the tribe of Benjamin and a Syrian deity. With its cute fruit association and fashionable -on ending, Rimmon is an attractive but still relatively undiscovered Biblical name.

  16. Mefus
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "strawberries"
    • Description:

      Similar enough to Mavis in sound that it might just work, Mefus is a sweet and summery choice taken directly from the Welsh word for "strawberries". The pronunciation, MEH-vis is likely to be unintuitive outside of Wales, though within Wales, it might have the same energy as choosing Apple or Plum. One for the middle spot, perhaps.
  17. Hilla
    • Origin:

      Finnish
    • Meaning:

      "cloudberry"
    • Description:

      Hilla is a rising girl name in Finland, where it is seen as both an independent name and a short form of names beginning with Hil-.
