      "hill"

A bit like a mash up between Darcy and Ruby, it appeared in the US Top 1000 in the 90s, peaking in 1995 when it reached #499. It's likely this sudden interest in Darby was owing to the 90s book and film, The Pelican Brief, starring Julia Roberts as a law student called Darby.

      Kaelin is a feminine name with Gaelic origins, though it's used for both genders in some contexts. The name likely derives from the Irish surname 'Ó Caollaidhe' or the Scottish Gaelic 'MacCaoilinn.' Kaelin emerged as a given name in America during the late 20th century, gaining modest popularity in the 1990s and 2000s. Its appealing sound combines traditional Celtic roots with a contemporary feel. The name's meaning is sometimes associated with 'slender' or 'fair,' though interpretations vary. Kaelin fits well with the trend of using Irish and Scottish surnames as first names. Its distinctive sound and spelling make it recognizable while remaining relatively uncommon, allowing for individuality while avoiding excessive uniqueness.

    • Description:

      Giza is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from Egyptian roots, sharing its name with the famous plateau where the Great Pyramids stand. In this context, it carries historical and mysterious connotations. Alternatively, it could be related to the Hungarian diminutive of Gizella, which comes from the Germanic name Gisela meaning 'pledge' or 'hostage' in its ancient context. The name has a striking quality with its distinctive 'z' sound and compact form. Though uncommon in most Western countries, Giza may hold greater familiarity in Eastern European and North African regions. Its cross-cultural nature makes it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a name with international resonance and historical depth.
