  1. Addison

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "son of Adam"

    • Description:

      Newly fashioned but familiar and with an on trend, unisex feel, Addison seems like the perfect solution for anyone who can’t decide between Madison, Adeline, and Alison.
  2. Athena

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "from Athens"

    • Description:

      Magical and distinctive but grounded and familiar too, it's no surprise that Athena has become one of the most widely used ancient goddess names in the contemporary Western world. Derived from the city name Athens, it is current a Top 100 choice in the US.
  3. Brenna

    • Origin:

      Feminine form of Brennan

    • Meaning:

      "descendant of the sad one"

    • Description:

      Brenna is a feminine form of the Irish surname Brennan, or perhaps a variation of Brenda or Brendan—all of which have different meanings. Whatever its derivation or authenticity, it's a modern sounding name which has steadily decreased in popularity since 1995 when it peaked at Number 235 in the United States.
  4. Britton

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "from Britain"

    • Description:

      Britton, technically a spelling variation of Britain, is much more popular that the original place name for both boys and girls. There are about three baby girls named Britton for every four boys, making it a truly nonbinary choice.
  5. 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.
  6. Calliope

    • Origin:

      Greek mythology name

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful voice"

    • Description:

      Calliope is the name of the muse of epic poetry -- and also the musical instrument on the merry-go-round. Bold and creative, it debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2016, and entered the Top 500 in 2023. Similar in rhythm and sound to Penelope with usable nicknames Callie, Clio, and Lola, it is no wonder it's on the rise.
  7. Kate

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Katherine

    • Meaning:

      "pure"

    • Description:

      Kate, in the headlines via Catherine Middleton aka the Princess of Wales, has been as pervasive as Kathy was in the 1950s and 1960s, both as a nickname for Katherine and Kaitlyn and as a strong, classic stand-alone name.
  8. Lucy

    • Origin:

      English variation of Lucia, Latin

    • Meaning:

      "light"

    • Description:

      A versatile classic, Lucy is both sweet and solid, a saint's name, and the heroine of several great novels. First fashionable in England and Wales, Lucy is now a popular choice in the US, The Netherlands, and New Zealand.
  9. Payton

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "fighting man's estate"

    • Description:

      Rarely used until the 90s, Payton rose up the charts when it was popularized by the football star, Peyton Manning, and, interestingly, by the character of "Peyton Flanders", the villainess of the 1992 film, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.
  10. Whitely

    • Description:

      Whitely is an uncommon feminine name that originated as an English surname derived from location names meaning 'white clearing' or 'white meadow.' The name combines the Old English elements 'hwit' (white) and 'leah' (woodland, clearing). As a first name, Whitely has a delicate, refined quality with subtle connections to nature. Though rare in usage, it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with English heritage that carries sophisticated overtones. Whitely can be viewed as an elaboration of the more common 'Whitney' or as a unique alternative with similar phonetic qualities. The name conveys images of brightness, purity, and natural beauty.
