Crosby
Irish
"village with crosses"
Crosby is an attractively laid-back Irish surname with retro musical associations to Bing and Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and with a jaunty air. Crosby Braverman was the name of a character on the TV…
Townes
English surname

Fulton
English
"fields of the village"
One of the surname names used more in the last century, à la Milton and Morton.

Wyndham
English
"from the windy village"

Diminutive of Winslow, Winthrop, or Winston, English

Win is an upbeat, can-do name that can be a short form of one of the buttoned-up British choices above or can stand on its own. Welsh Wyn is another possibility. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell…
