📛Nameberry🍒 believes the name 📛Billie was "destined for stardom."⭐ That certainly seems to be the case. Billie was the original 💙masculine name turned 💗feminine as a growing girl's name choice starting in the 60s & 70s with 🎾tennis' Billie (Jean) King reigning in the sports world — followed right into the 80s with the 🎼fictional Billie (Jean) in Michael Jackson's popular song of the same name. Then ⏩fast forward to 2019 with the rise of budding, but immensely talented 🎤singer Billie Eilish.
The name 📛Billie (meaning: resolute protection, a diminutive of 📛Wilhelmina which comes from 📛Wilhelm which is the German form of 📛William. 📛Bill is a short form of the English William, Billie being the female version of it.) is currently #694 on US Top 1000. But "to track its path from blue to pink, Billie was 100% male in 1880, was 55% female just a decade later, in the girls' Top 100 by 1928, and is now overwhelmingly female," 📛Nameberry🍒 breaks down.
But Billie may have some stiff competition with 📛Scottie — the 💙boy-turned-girl💗 name that's 📈rising ⏫fast. At least in the realm of ⭐celebrity babies being born. Just recently, 🎙rapper Eminem's daughter Alaina (whose last name is Scott) named her daughter: 📛Scottie Marie Moeller. And last year 2025, 😅comedian Pete Davidson welcomed a daughter named: 📛Scottie 🌹Rose. 📛Nameberry🍒 quickly points out, they weren't the only parents to choose 📛Scottie 🌹Rose: "Youtubers Alyssa Hyde and Charles Davis chose it for their daughter earlier in the same year, while influencer Presley Gaspard selected it in 2024." And way ⏪before Scottie's take off 🚀 on 📛name charts📊 in the 2020s, in 1921 was the birth of writer F. Scott Fitzgerald's daughter: Frances Scott Fitzgerald but often called Scottie. "Scottie" is also another name for the Scottish Terrier 🐶dog breed.
📛Scottie is a nickname of 📛Scot (a variation of: the surname📛Scott): a masculine name (a la Scottie Pippen the 🏀basketball player) with: "clear geographic origins, directly referring to a person from Scotland. Derived from the Latin 'Scotus,' meaning 'Scottish,' this concise name carries strong cultural associations with Scottish heritage and identity. As a given name, Scot gained modest popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in America, often chosen by families with Scottish ancestry. The single-t spelling distinguishes it slightly from the more common 'Scott,' (a cool, windswept, surfer babe-magnet in 1965, a nice dad -- or even granddad -- today) giving it a more direct connection to its ethnic origins," says 📛Nameberry🍒.
