Nameberry has a Geezer Names for Girls list, but it seems to have been forgotten that, for every girl 'back in the day' named Howard and Wallace, there were as many boys named Rose and Ivy! - Just a few names taken from America's top 1000 from the 1880s and onwards.
- Ruby
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"behold, a son"Description:
Ruby could be a short form of the Biblical name Reuben and especially its streamlined form, Ruben. As a gemstone name, it's currently enjoying a fresh boom of popularity for girls – nearing the US Top 50 for the first time in almost a century.
- June
Description:
June is a masculine name derived from the month of June, which was itself named for the Roman goddess Juno, the protector of women and marriage. While predominantly used for girls since the early 20th century, June has historical usage as a male name, particularly as a nickname for Junior. As a masculine name, June has never been common in the United States but represents the tradition of month names used for boys (like August and March). The name carries associations with early summer, warmth, and new beginnings. For men, June offers a gentle, nature-connected alternative to more conventional masculine names. Its simplicity, single syllable, and familiar quality make it accessible despite being unconventional for males in contemporary usage.
