  • Cheerful and approachable, this name radiates warmth and friendliness from the first syllable. It has a retro charm that's cycling back into fashion, bringing with it associations of kindness and genuine niceness. There's nothing intimidating about this name—it's the girl-next-door, the friend everyone wants, the colleague everyone appreciates. It feels American in the best sense: optimistic, unpretentious, democratic. The name suggests someone practical and grounded, someone who gets things done with a smile. While it peaked in popularity decades ago, that vintage quality now works in its favor, offering familiarity without oversaturation. It's cute without being childish, maintaining its charm across all ages. The sound is peppy and upbeat, difficult to say without a hint of happiness. For parents who value kindness and positivity above edginess or drama, who want their daughter's name to reflect genuine goodness, this delivers that message clearly.
