Townes

Townes entered baby name consciousness — as a girl name, at least — in 2024 when Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma chose it for their daughter, Townes Meadow. Townes is a more established choice for boys, among whom it's often associated with the late musician Townes Van Zandt.

With its fresh surname style and fashionable S ending, Townes is bound to take off. But like Banks — the name of Duff and Koma's oldest daughter — we predict that this celebrity baby name announcement will inspire more parents of sons than daughters.

Pronounced TOWNZ.

As of October 2026, Townes ranked #5705 in US births in 2025 SSA.
