Girl
Brigitte
Brigitte means "French/German form of Bridget" and comes from French, giving it real etymological depth as a girl's name. It peaked back in the 1960s and has been gradually easing since. In the current registry, it is uncommon enough to feel personal. The name's best year yet was 1960.
