Number 2

Giacomo is a primo member of the Giovanni-Gino-Giancarlo-Giacomo gruppo of Italian names that are beginning to be adopted by American parents. Singer/creative baby namer Sting chose it for his son.

A nickname-y choice with a touch of vintage charm, Jeannie is ultimately a feminine diminutive form of the classic John, via Johanna and Jean. With sounds reminiscent of magical genies and of genius, Jeannie (or sleeker Jeanie) might just have the energy to climb back up the charts, as Joni and Joanie have done.

Fading since the 1970s -- but still a lovely name.

Cozette is a delicate feminine name that likely evolved as a diminutive form of the French name Cosette, famously featured in Victor Hugo's novel 'Les Misérables.' The original name may derive from the French 'chose' meaning 'thing' used as a term of endearment, or possibly from the Greek 'kosmos' meaning 'order' or 'harmony.' The spelling with 'z' gives it a modern twist while maintaining its French charm. Cozette has a gentle, melodic quality that suggests refinement and femininity. Though rare in official records, it appeals to parents drawn to French-inspired names with literary connections. The name carries a romantic, vintage feel while still sounding fresh and distinctive in contemporary contexts.
