- Darby
Origin:
NorseMeaning:
"from the deer estate"Description:
Spirited and bubbly, but handsome and preppy too, Darby is a surname style choice that fits in well with the likes of Alby and Lennox.
- Eris
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"strife, discord"Description:
Eris was the goddess of strife and discord, turned fairy tale and then popular culture figure Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty. Ironic, as her name sounds so much like that of Eros, the god of love.
- Seven
Origin:
English word and number nameDescription:
This number name first came to public attention when Erykah Badu and Andre 3000 chose if for their son, Seven Sirius Benjamin, born in 1997. Over a decade later, David and Victoria Beckham used it as their daughter's middle name, and now in these days of unisex word names, it's rising for both sexes. It's certainly one of the most name-like numbers: after all, it's only a letter away from Steven.
- Liza
Origin:
Diminutive of Eliza and Elizabeth, HebrewMeaning:
"pledged to God"Description:
Liza's heyday was the mid-1970s, following on the heels of super-popular sister Lisa. But thanks to the fact that it never became superpopular, Liza remains a name not especially tied to one generation or style.
- Mitzi
Origin:
German, diminutive of MariaMeaning:
"bitter"Description:
Mitzi is a spunky German nickname name that might appeal to parents drawn to the genre of lively vintage chorus girl names that proliferated in 1930's musicals. Lively entertainer Mitzi Gaynor--who was originally named Francesca Marlene de Czani von Gerber--made the name notable in mid-century America.
- Hero
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"demi-god"Description:
Despite the possibility of gender confusion, the Hero in Greek myth was a woman. Myleene Klass got that when she chose Hero for her daughter, and Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson used it as their daughter's middle--and we wouldn't be surprised to see more girls with this heroic name.
- Fritz
Origin:
German, diminutive of Friedrich or FrederickMeaning:
"peaceful ruler"Description:
Since female cousins Mitzi and Fritzi have entered the realm of possibilities, there's a chance that Cousin Fritz could as well. Fritz is the name of several notables, from early German-born film director Lang to early footballer Fritz (born Frederick) Pollard, the first African-American to play in the Rose Bowl in 1916.
- Mick
Origin:
English, diminutive of MichaelDescription:
Most often associated with Rolling Stone Jagger, Mick is also used as a generic, and derogatory, term for an Irishman.
- Emilie
Origin:
Spelling variation of Emily; German and Scandinavian feminine form of AemiliusDescription:
Unlike most creative spellings, this one isn't overly trendy or overdone—in fact, it's quite delicate and pretty. However, it is clearly suffering from the plethora of similar names that are flowing around right now (Emelie, Emilia, Emily, Emilee, Amelie, Amelia) and has fallen more than 300 spots since 2013. It might be time for Emilie and her sisters to be left alone for a while.
- Chelsea
Origin:
Place name, EnglishMeaning:
"landing place for chalk or limestone"Description:
Chelsea for a boy? Yes — and we've got two maleberry Chelseas to prove it (one of whom even wrote a blog for us about his experience)! Boy Chelseas would more likely be named for the British football team than the old Joni Mitchell song sung by Judy Collins.
- Sinéad
Origin:
Irish GaelicMeaning:
"god is gracious"Description:
Popular Irish name brought here by singer Sinead O'Connor, could make a striking choice for a child with deep Irish roots.
- Dimitry
Description:
Dimitry is a masculine name of Russian and Slavic origin, serving as a variant of Dmitri or Dimitri, which derive from the Greek name Demetrios, meaning 'follower of Demeter' (the goddess of agriculture). This strong, dignified name carries rich cultural associations across Eastern Europe and Russia, where it has been used for centuries, including by nobility and historical figures. Dimitry offers a slightly Anglicized spelling while maintaining its authentic international character. The name conveys strength and substance with its robust sounds and cultural depth. While less common in Western countries than alternative forms like Dimitri, Dimitry provides a distinctive yet recognizable option for parents seeking a name with both historical roots and contemporary appeal.
