Behind the Name
The classic Kitty is to Anna Karenina what cheeky Addison is to Grey's Anatomy.
Initials for girls—often with the letter J—are peppy, preppy, and gender-free.
Imogin, a rarity at the local toddler class, is downright common in all London playgrounds.
The three stars of Orion's belt make the hunter easy to spot—much like a true fashionista.
Paz—peace in Spanish—offers a good alternative to Brangelina's son Pax.
Model, actress, and designer, Milla Jovovich, named her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson.
