The name feels equally at home in a corporate boardroom and on a playground, offering remarkable versatility across contexts. The spelling variation distinguishes it from the more common geographical references, providing individuality without obscurity. It carries a unisex quality that has become increasingly desirable to parents who want their daughters to navigate the world unburdened by overtly feminine expectations.
