Your little munchkin will undoubtedly be full of surprises, from their cheeky first word to their mischievous cookie jar heists. Why not embrace their clever mind with a rare name full of mystery? The girl's name Detra—while popular during the 1960s—is now virtually unheard of. It's likely a short form for the Greek names Teodora, meaning "God's gift," and Petra, meaning "rock." Detra is the obvious choice for a strong-minded baby with big personality. However they light up the world, you can expect young Tetra to be unstoppable!
