- Blythe
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"happy, carefree"Description:
Blythe is Nameberry gem — one of those names that visitors to the site are often searching for, despite the fact it's never ranked in the US charts as a given name.
- Arthur
Origin:
CelticMeaning:
"bear"Description:
You might be surprised to see Arthur listed as a feminine name, but our database pulls in every name that appears on every name popularity list from anywhere ever. (Note: Lots of countries don't keep name popularity data, but if they do, we have it). Therefore some parents at some point named their daughters Arthur.
- Miles
Origin:
English form of Milo, Latin and Old GermanMeaning:
"soldier; merciful"Description:
Although usually seen as a masculine name, Miles is sometimes seen as a feminine name in Australia, due to its literary association with female author Stella "Miles" Franklin. The s ending makes it especially trendy.
- August
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"majestic, venerable"Description:
Though associated traditionally (and fashionably) with boys, it has been used occasionally for girls as well – by Garth Brooks, Nicolas Cage, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, for example. But August is used significantly more often for girls these days than traditional feminine variations Augusta and Augustina, and makes for a fresh twist on traditional month names like April and May, as well as an updated spin on season name Autumn.
- George
Origin:
English variation of Georgios, GreekMeaning:
"farmer"Description:
For girls, typically used as a nickname for names such as Georgia and Georgiana, although Orange is the New Black stars Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli recently used it as a full name for their daughter George Elizabeth.
- Rigby
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"ridge farm"Description:
Rigby is a rather stiff British surname, which might call to mind the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby" or, from the recent past, Cathy Rigby, the first American woman to win a medal in World Gymnastics competition. The problem with Rigby may be its similarity to the word "rigid."
- Chett
Origin:
Diminutive of Chester, English place nameMeaning:
"fortress"Description:
Although Chet is the more popular spelling, Chett with a double T somehow feels more complete, in line with Rhett.
- Luxe
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"high quality"Description:
Lux means light, but add an E and you get a modern word name that speaks of couture, quality and, well, luxury.
- Ambrose
- Jakoby
- Jonty
- Monty
- Benedict
