DANIEL
Gender: M
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: "God is my judge"
Popularity in 2008: #5
A perennial favorite -- still in the Top 5-- Daniel is one of only a handful of male names that sounds both classic and modern, strong yet approachable, and popular but not cliched, with a strong Old Testament pedigree. The only real downside: there are almost twenty thousand Daniels named each year.
