- Calamity
Origin:
English word nameDescription:
Although this name literally means disaster, the use of Calamity as a descriptor of Martha Jane Cannery, aka Calamity Jane, was meant to signal that she was a good person to have in troubled times. Calamity Jane was well regarded as a frontierswoman and nurse, someone who was said to be extremely generous and compassionate to the sick and troubled.. Calamity's connection to the American West gives this a roguish name a sort of windswept charm about it. Indeed, the most controversial aspect of this name is its connection to the frontier wars that led to the dispossession of Native American peoples.
- Derk
Description:
Derk is a masculine name of Dutch and Germanic origins, functioning as a variation of Derek or Dirk.

Popular in the Netherlands and parts of northern Europe, Derk has a strong, concise sound that follows Dutch naming traditions of short, impactful names. While less common than Derek or Dirk in English-speaking countries, Derk maintains steady usage in Dutch-speaking regions. The name carries connotations of leadership and strength while offering a slightly distinctive spelling for parents seeking traditional names with character. Its simplicity and cross-cultural recognition make it accessible internationally while still preserving its Dutch heritage.

- Lemon
Origin:
American fruit nameDescription:
Lemon is one of the more unique names related to fruit, compared with sisters Clementine and Apple. That may be because lemon is also a word that's slang for a clunker, something that doesn't work very well. No baby wants to feel like a Lemon, so this is one of those unusual names that is best avoided.
