  1. Oreo

    • Origin:

      Brand name

    • Description:

      Oreo is a masculine name derived from the famous sandwich cookie brand introduced in 1912. As a given name, it represents a modern trend of naming inspired by consumer products and pop culture.

  2. Brownie

    • Description:

      Brownie is an uncommon feminine name derived from the English word for the small chocolate dessert or from the color brown. As a name, it has a sweet, endearing quality with a touch of whimsy and nostalgia. While not commonly used as a formal given name, Brownie may appear as a nickname for someone with brown hair or eyes, or someone who enjoys baking or eating the dessert. In folk traditions, 'brownies' were helpful household spirits in Scottish folklore, adding a touch of magical association. The name has an informal, affectionate quality that some parents might choose for its uniqueness and warm associations. Though rare in official records, Brownie might be used as a middle name or a distinctive first name for parents seeking something unconventional with friendly, comforting connotations.

  3. Almond

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      Gwyneth Paltrow's Apple has opened the world of botanical names beyond flowers to trees, herbs, fruits, and — why not — nuts. Cayley and Brandon Jenner have a daughter named Joan Almond.
  4. Mint

    • Origin:

      English word name or diminutive of Araminta, English from Greek and Latin

    • Meaning:

      "mint; defender; yielding to prayer"

    • Description:

      You may be tempted to scoff at Mint as another wacky celebrity baby name — it was used by Dutch model Romee Strijd for her daughter in 2020 — but it's a far more legitimate choice than many would guess. Minty baby names for girls are having a style moment in Nordic countries — Mynte is a Top 50 name in Denmark, and Minttu ranks in Finland's Top 50. It's ultimately not so surprising that a well-traveled international star would choose to use the English variation of these names for her daughter.
  5. Chip

    • Origin:

      Pet name for Charles

    • Description:

      Only if you're madly nostalgic for sixties TV.

      Word name, English from Spanish and Portuguese

    • Meaning:

      "banana"

    • Description:

      Banana is one fruity name we wouldn't recommend. Pick Plum instead. There is a Japanese novelist whose pen name is Banana Yoshimoto--birth name Mahoko.
  7. Strawberry

    • Origin:

      Fruit name

    • Description:

      Another entry in the fruit name category, this one borne by writer Strawberry Saroyan, granddaughter of William, so named by her hippie parents. While fruit names may become more familiar, they'll never pass without comment -- but maybe that's what you're looking for.
  8. Sundae

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      I'm sure the parents of the six little girls named Sundae in the US last year were thinking, "well, if Nicole Kidman can use Sunday..." In this case, we think the day of the week spelling is preferable to the dessert spelling.
  9. Berri

    • Description:

      Berri is a charming feminine name with multiple possible origins. It could be a variant spelling of Berry, which derives from the English word for the small fruit or from places named for their abundance of berries. It may also be a diminutive form of names containing 'ber' such as Bernice or Bertha. In some Middle Eastern contexts, it might relate to the Arabic word meaning 'innocent' or 'free.' Berri has a light, playful quality with its simple two-syllable structure and friendly 'ee' ending sound. The name remains quite uncommon, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking something distinctive yet approachable. Its short length and easy pronunciation give it a contemporary feel despite potential traditional roots.

  10. Muffin

    • Description:

      Muffin originated as an English word for a small, dome-shaped baked good before transitioning into use as a pet name or term of endearment, particularly in British and American culture. As a female given name, Muffin is extremely uncommon and unconventional, typically functioning as a nickname rather than a formal name. It evokes qualities of sweetness, comfort, and a cheerful, unpretentious nature. The name carries a distinctly informal, playful quality that might appeal to parents seeking something whimsical and unexpected. Muffin's association with warmth and home-baked goodness gives it positive connotations despite its unconventional status as a human name. While rarely used officially, it occasionally appears as a nickname for names containing 'M' sounds like Margaret, Martha, or Meredith.

  13. Berrie

    • Description:

      Berrie is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It could be a diminutive form of names containing 'ber' like Bernadette or Bernice, a variant spelling of Berry (derived from the Old English 'berie' meaning 'berry' or a place where berries grow), or a shortened form of the Germanic element 'beraht' meaning 'bright'. The name has a sweet, cheerful quality reminiscent of its fruit namesake. Though uncommon in contemporary usage, Berrie has a charming vintage appeal. It feels friendly and approachable while remaining distinctive. The name's connection to nature gives it an organic, wholesome character that resonates with modern naming trends favoring natural elements.

  16. Taffie

    • Description:

      Taffie is a feminine name that generally serves as a diminutive form of names like Taffeta or Taffy. Its origins are connected to the word "taffeta," a luxurious, crisp fabric, giving the name associations with elegance and refinement. Taffie has a playful, cheerful quality that evokes sweetness, possibly influenced by the candy taffy. While never reaching mainstream popularity in the United States or other English-speaking countries, Taffie maintains an endearing charm with its bright, upbeat sound. The name carries a vintage feel but with potential for contemporary appeal for parents seeking something uncommon yet accessible. Taffie remains a relatively rare choice, offering distinctiveness while still being approachable in pronunciation and spelling.

      Brittle is an unusual masculine name derived from an English word referring to something fragile or easily broken. As a given name, it falls into the category of word names that have occasionally been adopted from the English vocabulary. Unlike many word names that suggest strength or positive attributes, Brittle has more complex connotations of fragility, which makes it quite rare as a personal name.

The name's distinctive sound and uncommon nature might appeal to parents seeking something truly unique, though its meaning associations present challenges for everyday use.
