Bluebell is one flower name that is used very quietly. Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell joined her former Spice Sisters in creative baby-naming with this adventurous -- some might say outlandish -- choice. Distinctive and charming? Or better suited to a farmyard animal? Your call. 

Bluebell

A name with a bit of glamor but also cowgirl vibes, Dallas entered the US Top 1000 for girls in 1992. It fell out of style during noughties, but reappeared in 2012 when other gender neutral names like River, Sawyer, Rowan, and Blake were also climbing fast.

Perhaps most obviously associated with the city in Texas, Dallas is also a Scottish place name with the meaning "meadow dwelling"; an English surname, meaning "valley house" and possibly an Irish name, meaning "skilled, assembly, council, or, blindness" depending on the translation
<br></br>
Currently given to around 480 girls each year, Dallas does lean more masculine - not surprising perhaps, since it's been in the US Top 500 for boys since name records began in 1880. Given to nearly three times as many boys as girls, this still makes the name, statistically, a solidly unisex option.
