Dora 
Greek, "Gift"
Nothing says "60-year-old woman in polyester slacks" like the dull-as-dishwater name Dora. Your Nickelodeon-watching children might disagree, however, since Dora the Explorer is one of the most beloved little girls in town.

French, "Wide meadow; from St. Denis, France"
Isn't it amazing how one name can sound entirely different on two people? On a boy, Sydney comes off as an elderly gentleman with a bow tie, but on a girl, Sydney is chic, young, and ready to whup some bad-guy ass (thanks to Jennifer Garner on Alias). It is interesting to note that in the past 20 years, Sydney has replaced the similar but daintier Cindy in the popularity polls.
