  1. Azure

    • Origin:

      English color name

    • Meaning:

      "sky blue"

    • Description:

      Azure is a colorful gender-neutral choice, currently used equally for baby girls and boys in the US. It refers to a specific shade of blue seen in a cloudless sky. Elon Musk recently revealed Azure to be the name of his daughter with Shivon Zilis, twin sister to Strider. While X and Y didn't stand a chance at greater popularity, parents may be inspired to use the name Azure following this celebrity endorsement.
  2. Bristol

    • Origin:

      Place-name

    • Meaning:

      "the site of the bridge"

    • Description:

      Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Alaska governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, grabbed her own share of headlines after her pregnancy and having appearing on Dancing With The Stars. She subsequently (almost) single-handedly propelled her distinctive name, derived from the name of a city in England, into the Top 1000 and up the charts.
  3. Bronwyn

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "white breast"

    • Description:

      One of the loveliest of the Welsh names, striking the perfect balance between being familiar and unusual. In Wales, the female spelling is always Bronwen, but Americans usually see a "y" as adding femininity.
  4. Brynn

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Bryn, Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "hill"

    • Description:

      Brynn outshines the original Welsh Bryn in the popularity stakes. This simple, brisk name might be seen as a combination of Bree and Lynn, an androgynous-sounding choice that especially in this spelling is not truly unisex: Brynn, for boys, is not even in the Top 1000.
  5. Cody

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "helpful, pillow"

    • Description:

      In the early 1990s, Cody was in the Top 25 most popular boys' names in the USA; but it has been in decline since then. It retains a greater degree of popularity in the UK, however. Cody might be short for Dakota but despite its nickname feeling, it's a name of its own.
  6. Dahlia

    • Origin:

      Flower name, from Swedish surname

    • Meaning:

      "Dahl's flower"

    • Description:

      One of the flower names, used occasionally in Britain (where it's pronounced DAY-lee-a). It seems to have recovered from what was perceived as a slightly affected la-di-dah air. The flower was named in honor of the pioneering Swedish botanist Andreas Dahl, which means dale.
  7. Harlow

    • Origin:

      English surname

    • Meaning:

      "rock hill or army hill"

    • Description:

      Jean Harlow (born Harlean Carpenter), the original platinum blonde bombshell, was a symbol of 1930s glamour, a factor that first Patricia Arquette and then Nicole Richie and Joel Madden probably had in mind when they gave their daughters the distinctive surname name Harlow.
  8. Maurine

    • Description:

      Maurine is a feminine name derived from the Latin name Maurinus, which comes from 'Maurus' meaning 'dark-skinned' or referring to someone from Mauritania in North Africa. A variant of Maureen, Maurine reached its peak popularity in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s. The name carries a vintage charm with its elegant ending and connection to the more common Maurice (for men). Though less frequently given today, Maurine maintains an air of classic sophistication and dignity. The name has a gentle, melodic quality that gives it a timeless appeal. Maurine might be chosen by parents appreciating vintage names or honoring family heritage, as it was more common in previous generations.

  9. Perrin

    • Origin:

      Variation of Perry or Peter, English or Greek

    • Meaning:

      "dweller near the pear tree or rock, stone"

    • Description:

      Perrin has been in long use as a surname, derived from Peter, and is now used quietly as a first name. It was given to 26 boys and six girls in the US in 2023, a decrease over the year before. It has an attractive sound and feel and seems equally usable for both sexes.
  10. Rorey

    • Description:

      Rorey is a unisex name that functions primarily as a masculine name in most contexts, though it's occasionally used for girls. It represents a variant spelling of Rory, which comes from the Irish Gaelic name Ruairí, meaning 'red king' or 'rust-colored king.' The alternative spelling gives the traditional name a slightly more contemporary feel while maintaining its Celtic heritage. Originally a common name for Irish kings, Rorey/Rory has spread throughout English-speaking countries, gaining particular popularity in Scotland. The name has a friendly, approachable quality combined with historical depth, appealing to parents who appreciate Celtic traditions but desire a name that feels modern and accessible.
  11. Rory

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "red king"

    • Description:

      This spirited Gaelic classic, which became popular in Ireland via the illustrious twelfth century king Rory O'Connor, makes a highly energetic choice, now used for either sex. Rory's gender split is still trending boyward; it's one of the coolest boys' names starting with R.
  12. Teal

    • Origin:

      Bird and color name

    • Description:

      Teal is one of the prettiest and most straightforward of the new color names -- an ideal middle name choice.
