Mitzi
- Origin:
  German, diminutive of Maria
- Meaning:
  "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.
Seven
- Origin:
  English word and number name
- Description:
  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.

Nico
- Origin:
  Italian, diminutive of Nicola
- Meaning:
  "people of victory"
- Description:
  A much more dynamic nickname than Nicky for any of the Nic-names. Part of a growing trend of boyish nicknames for girls - alongside Stevie and Lou - Nico has cheerful, snappy sounds, and a fresh, sassy image.
Emilie
- Origin:
  Spelling variation of Emily; German and Scandinavian feminine form of Aemilius
- Description:
  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.
Mick
- Origin:
  English, diminutive of Michael
- Description:
  Most often associated with Rolling Stone Jagger, Mick is also used as a generic, and derogatory, term for an Irishman.

Liza
- Origin:
  Diminutive of Eliza and Elizabeth, Hebrew
- Meaning:
  "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.
Chelsea
- Origin:
  Place name, English
- Meaning:
  "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.
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.
