  1. Elsie

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Elizabeth via its Scottish variation, Elspeth

    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"

    • Description:

      Elsie is a sweet vintage nickname-name turned modern star. After a 30-year hiatus, Elsie started climbing the US popularity list 20 years ago and is still headed for the top.
  2. Sawyer

    • Origin:

      English occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "woodcutter"

    • Description:

      Sawyer is one of the top unisex names, used for their daughters by such parents as Sara Gilbert, co-host of The Talk and former actress on Roseanne, currently on The Conners.
  3. Theodosia

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "gift of God"

    • Description:

      This feminine form of Theodosius has long been buried deep in the attic, but might be a good discovery for the parent who wants to move beyond Theodora. Vice President Aaron Burr named a daughter Theodosia ("Dear Theodosia" is a song in the smash musical Hamilton), and it was the birth name of silent screen vamp Theda Bara. Theodosia actually appeared on the US popularity lists in the 1880s and 90s.
  4. Camden

    • Origin:

      Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "winding valley"

    • Description:

      Newly popular boys' name could cross over in much the way the related Cameron has.
  5. Adair

    • Origin:

      Scottish and Irish, Brazilian

    • Meaning:

      "oak tree ford; wealthy spearman; wealth and fame"

    • Description:

      A unisex name with lots of flair and a daring spirit, Adair was first noticed as a girl's name in the 1980's, thanks to the long-running daytime drama Search for Tomorrow, with the character Adair McCleary, who had ahead-of-their-time brothers named brothers Hogan, Cagney and Quinn. Given to just 22 girls in a recent year (along with 59 boys), it remains a familiar but quietly used choice.
  6. Elliotte

    • Origin:

      Feminine form of Elliot, Anglicization of Elijah or Elias, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "Jehovah is God"

    • Description:

      There's more than one reason why parents might consider this rising name for a daughter. George Eliot was the pen name of English writer Mary Ann Evans, one of the leading authors of the Victorian era. The possibility of nickname Ellie is another factor.
  7. Evyn

    • Description:

      Evyn is a modern feminine variation of Evan, which derives from the Welsh name Iefan, a form of John meaning 'God is gracious.' Though traditionally a masculine name, Evyn has gained popularity as a feminine option for parents seeking a name with a contemporary edge while maintaining traditional roots. The unique spelling with a 'y' gives this name a distinctive touch while preserving the familiar pronunciation. Evyn represents a trend toward gender-neutral naming, offering a strong yet versatile choice for girls. While not among the most common names, its similarity to popular names like Evelyn and Eva has helped it gain recognition in recent decades.
  8. Carsen

    • Description:

      Carsen is a contemporary unisex name that originated as a variant spelling of Carson, a surname derived from Scottish and Northern English origins meaning 'son of Carr' or 'son of the marsh-dweller.' While traditionally more common for boys, Carsen has gained significant popularity as a feminine name since the early 2000s, reflecting the trend toward surname-style names for girls. The spelling with an 'e' instead of 'o' is often perceived as the more feminine version. For girls, Carsen offers a modern, slightly tomboyish quality while maintaining an elegant sound. The name balances strength and softness, making it appealing to parents seeking a contemporary name with traditional roots.

  9. Halo

    • Origin:

      American word name

    • Meaning:

      "circle of light"

    • Description:

      Celestial and space-age, Halo is a contemporary choice that first appeared in the US stats for boys in 2008. Currently more popular for girls, it is nevertheless on the rise across the board.
  10. Everette

    • Origin:

      Variation of Everett

    • Description:

      Unisex variant of Everett, influenced by famous bearers like entrepreneur Everette Taylor and country musician Leon Everette. While Everett is overwhelmingly male, Everette is used for two boys for every girl and is relatively rare, given to fewer than 100 babies of each gender.
  11. Ellington

    • Origin:

      English place-name and surname

    • Meaning:

      "Ellis' town"

    • Description:

      Ellington's popularity may be inspired by jazz great Duke, but the name is used slightly more often for girls today, perhaps because of its trendy El- beginning. Like a host of other El- names, from the familiar Ella to Eleanor to the more niche Elodie and Elula, Ellington carries the popular Ellie nickname.
