Meaning & background
A nickname-style choice that feels affectionate and light. Stateside, it enters U.S. records in 1920. 1963 marked its high point, reaching #1,234. These days it lands below the top 1,000, so it still feels distinctive. Roughly 1,200 people have been given the name to date — a true rarity.
