STAN  

Gender: M
Origin: Short form of STANLEY
Meaning: "near the stony meadow"

One of the old-school nicknames -- think Ray, Vince, Frank -- that's on the brink of coming back into style. Name him Stanislav or Constantine and he'll have a groovier long form to fall back on.

Stan is being discussed in our message boards:

• Starting the name list...
• Need a Cool First Name
• THIS OR THAT (Boy-Boy-Girl Triplets!!!)
• Brother for Finley Ransom
• New here, with a difficult last name
