A multicultural name, that's currently on style and fits right in with Kaia, Maya, Raya, and Mia. Currently in the Top 500 in both the UK and The Netherlands, it has several different origins and meanings.

As Cora rises to become one of the most admired and popular names for girls, more and more variations will arise. But given that the original Greek form is Kore, this one isn't as kree8if as it first may appear. Still, Cora's appeal is its history and simplicity, both negated by Korra.

A name that has a bit of a shouldn't-I-be-a-middle-name sound, though still in use as a first for both genders. Lee might be a good choice if you want something that sounds at once traditional yet modern, unisex but not newly-minted.

Lin is a concise, versatile name with multicultural origins and meanings. In Chinese culture, it's a common surname and given name meaning 'forest' or 'jade' depending on the character used. In Welsh traditions, Lin represents 'lake' or 'waterfall,' while in Scandinavian contexts, it means 'lime tree' or 'gentle.' As a feminine given name in Western cultures, Lin often serves as a diminutive for names like Linda, Linette, or Caroline. Its simplicity and cross-cultural appeal have made it increasingly popular in an interconnected world. The name's brevity carries elegance and strength, making it practical across languages and cultures while still feeling distinctive. Lin's versatility allows it to convey both natural beauty and refined simplicity.

Cross-cultural winner.

Though this simple, appealing name works for both genders in Japan, it's best known as the name of the princess who chose to leave the Royal Family in order to marry a commoner.

Milo is most commonly considered to be Germanic name derived from the Latin word miles, meaning "soldier." However, there is evidence to suggest it also may have independently spawned from the Slavic root milu, meaning "merciful." Milo predates brother name Miles, a variation that evolved when the name immigrated to the British Isles in the Middle Ages. Mylo is an alternate spelling.
