Lulu: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2012.
A name of Arabic origin, Lulu (also found in Swahili) shares its roots with the word for "pearl," a meaning of elegance and rarity. It gained international fame through the vibrant Scottish singer and actress Lulu, born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie, who shot to stardom with the 1960s classic "Shout." The name also belongs to Lulu, the loyal and courageous canine companion of the early 20th-century American explorer Richard E. Byrd, who accompanied him on Antarctic expeditions. Lulu's cheerful, rhythmic sound and cross-cultural appeal keep it a familiar yet distinctive choice, especially within Scottish circles where it carries that unique pop-culture link.
