6000+ Dog Names

Actress Kirstie Alley popularized this short form that's been off the popularity register for a decade.

One of the few K names that sounds middle-aged.

A cool and breezy nature name with a stylish sound, used in the Scirocco spelling by Volkswagen for one of its cars.

Definitely a far stretch for any child.

Ximen is not, as many think, the Spanish variation of Simon. It is derived from the medieval Basque name Semen (emphasis on the second syllable, but still completely unusable in the English-speaking world). It eventually gave way to many familiar Spanish names of today, including Jimeno and Ximena.

Perky and attractive Japanese girl name, associated with actress Rinko Kikuchi and photographer Rinko Kawauchi.

Cool, musical modern choice, especially as a middle name.

This variation of Jacey was the name of the gorgeous small-town heroine of Larry McMurtry's The Last Picture Show.

Ice officially joined the baby name pool when rapper Gucci Mane chose it for his son, born in December 2020. But Ice- names for girls had been trending before then — Icelynn, Icelyn, and Iceland have been climbing up the charts over the past few years. Could we see more icy names in the future? We actually may want to look to the past — nickname-y Icie ranked in the Top 1000 from 1881 to 1913.

Feather, though it was used for a character in a Walter Mosley novel, seems too light and fluttery for a real-life girl.

A common name for cats with boot-like markings on their feet. In the same vein: Mittens, Socks.

Bouncy South African girl name whose sound doesn't quite match its meaning.

While Jamar fell out of the Top 1000 back in 2016, this sleek and modern elaboration remains popular. Inspired by Arabic Jamal and rising up the charts alongside Amari and Kamari, Jamari is given to around 500 boys a year.

A very accessible Japanese choice, with an evocative meaning.
