Gossip Girl Names
Gossip Girl is back! (well, sort of).
The reboot premiered this week, with a brand-new cast of characters. The prepster Millennials with names like Serena, Blair, and Georgina, Nate, Chuck, and Carter have been supplanted by a new generation of Upper East Siders — Gen Z socialites-in-training with modern, edgier names.
The current roster at Constance Billard and St. Judes School has a mix of on-trend names like Audrey, Luna, and Max, along with stylish rarities like Zoya, Aki, Obie, and Julien — for a girl. (That one’s going to take off, right?)
Is your style more Gossip Girl: Then or Gossip Girl: Now? Weigh in on our Instagram.

Secret Baby Names
We’ve been hiding them from you this whole time!
I kid, I kid. We don’t actually have a top-secret list of names that we keep away from our users — although we’re often asked if we do!
But we did find the names that have never been used in the US, and we’re sharing our 100 favorite choices with you this week on the blog.
Looking for a gem that is virtually guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind? Consider Ismerie or Noemia, Cullinan or Liodor. No promises if you go abroad — if you’re in Scotland, you probably know a bunch of little Struans.
I may or may not have a personal list of secret baby names I don’t want anyone to find out about, but good luck trying to get me to spill the beans 😉

I love @indigoshark’s userlist of names with a witchy and gothic vibe. Ravenna and Lupin for sure.
Lots of incredulous reactions to my predictions for Cardi B and Offset. But after Kulture, would Katalyst or Klassic really be much crazier?
Siblings named Liz (Elizabeth) and Eli — tacky or not tacky?
