      Variation of Darcy, Irish or French

    • Meaning:

      "dark one; from Arcy; from the fortress"

  7. Queenie

      English

    • Meaning:

    • Origin:

      Short form of Gertrude

    • Description:

      Gertie has a certain homespun charm, summoning to mind butter-yellow braids and denim overalls, summoning mind the adorable character played by little Drew Barrymore in E.T. Is the world ready for the return of Gertie and Gertrude? Maybe?
  9. Marcie

    • Description:

      Marcie is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive of Marcia or Marcella, which themselves derive from Latin names related to Mars, the Roman god of war. Sweet and approachable, Marcie peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, embodying the friendly, girl-next-door quality popular during that era. While it has declined in usage since then, Marcie maintains a cheerful, vintage charm that has attracted renewed interest among parents seeking retro names with character. The name carries associations of warmth and friendliness, partly influenced by the character Marcie from the Peanuts comic strip. As a standalone name rather than a nickname, Marcie offers an unpretentious simplicity with a pleasant, familiar sound.

  10. Aggie

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Agatha and Agnes

    • Description:

      Mauve-tinted nickname with vintage charm that could just follow in the footsteps of ABBIE. More prominent now as the nickname for the Texas A&M sports teams.

  12. Averie

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Avery

  13. Amerie

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Description:

      Pop princess Amerie is half Korean, half African-American. Her name may relate to Amelia, Emily, Emery, or Amory, though there's no exact equivalent among historical names. But doubtless there will be more Ameries, starting now.
  14. Maddie

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Madeline or Madison, English

    • Meaning:

      "woman from Magdala or son of Matthew"

    • Description:

      Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn was one of the first to put this nickname on the birth certificate. Cute for a child, but we recommend giving her the option of the full name for later use.
  15. Jennie

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Janet, Jane, Jean, and Jennifer

    • Description:

      Long before the Jennifer Era, Jennie was a fashionable pet form of several names, and was also used independently -- in 1875 it was in the Top 20. Jennie was replaced by the Jenny spelling in the 1960s, and is rarely seen today.
  16. Jeannie

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Jean, English and Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "God is gracious"

    • Description:

      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.
  17. Mollie

    • Origin:

      Variation of Molly

    • Description:

      This new/old spin on Molly -- nickname-names with the ie ending were particularly popular at the turn of the last century -- that has landed this name in the US Top 1000.
  18. Joanie

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Joan, English

    • Meaning:

      "God is gracious"

    • Description:

      Although Joan was the more popular name in the 20th century, it's the nickname Joanie that is likely to be revived first. Joan ranked as a Top 100 name from the mid '20s to the mid '60s, and the US is still Joan-ed out from that era. But sweet Joanie feels fresh — a sister to names like Sadie, Elsie, and Sylvie. It could have a future on the Top 1000 but for now, scoop up Joanie while it's undiscovered.
  19. Prairie

    • Origin:

      English nature name

    • Meaning:

      "prairie"

    • Description:

      Unspecific place name with a wonderfully wide-open, spacious, western feel; used for a character in Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland.
  20. Hollie

    • Origin:

      Variation of Holly, English nature name

    • Description:

      This alternate spelling of Holly is still quite popular in the UK but hasn't seen use in the US since the end of the millennium.
