Puppy names

  1. Emmy
    • Fay
      • Origin:

        English
      • Meaning:

        "fairy"
      • Description:

        Fay, also spelled Faye, who had been napping quietly since the 1930's, has, like cousins May/Mae and Ray/Rae, sat up and started rubbing her eyes, ready for a mini-comeback, especially as a middle name. In 2014, Faye hopped back onto the US Top 1000, though Fay is used much more quietly as a first name.
    • Millie
      • Origin:

        Diminutive of Mildred or Millicent
      • Meaning:

        "gentle strength; strong in work"
      • Description:

        Millie is back. It's a Top 100 name throughout much of the English-speaking world, though not yet in the US. Millicent would be an appealing long form, but many people are using Millie all by its cute self -- so many, in fact, that it returned to the Top 500 in 2015 for the first time since World War 2 and continues to climb.
