Cheerful but laidback, surname-style Delaney is derived from the Old Irish name Dubhshláine and has become a familiar choice for girls in recent decades. Nevertheless, it has also been used for boys since the early 1900s and was equally - though rarely - given to both, right up until the 1990s. 
 
Since then, it has been given to around 15 boys each year, with notable bearers including musician Delaney Bramlett, actor Delaney Williams, and singer Delaney Davidson. With last names as first names on trend and <a href="the-softer-side-of-boys-names">soft names for boys</a> climbing the charts, Delaney could work well - and feel fresher - on a boy.

Denzell appears to be a variant spelling of the surname Denzel, which originated as an English surname derived from a place name in Cornwall combining the Cornish elements 'din' (fort) and 'hal' (moor). As a given name, it gained significant popularity following the rise to fame of American actor Denzel Washington in the 1980s and 1990s. The doubled 'l' spelling (Denzell) represents a common phonetic variation that emerged as the name gained usage as a first name. This pattern of surnames becoming given names, often with modified spellings, is common in modern naming practices. Usage data shows a notable increase in babies named Denzell/Denzel during the height of Washington's fame, demonstrating the significant influence of celebrities on naming trends. While less common today than in the 1990s, the name continues to be used, appreciated for its strong consonant sounds and cultural associations with talent and success.

Haywood is a masculine name of English origin that began as a surname referring to 'a person who lived near a fenced forest' or 'a forest guardian.' Combining the Old English elements 'haga' (enclosure or hedge) and 'wudu' (wood), it evokes imagery of wooded landscapes and natural protection.

As a first name, Haywood gained modest usage during the trend of adopting surnames as given names. It projects strength and reliability with a touch of rustic charm. The name carries a distinguished, somewhat old-fashioned quality that appeals to parents seeking dignified, nature-connected names.

A surname style choice, originally borrowed from a place in the South West of England, Huntlee has an active and outdoorsy feel which might appear to those who also like Hunter, Wesley, and Leland. It could also work if you particularly wanted to honor a Lee.

Jacksen is a modern variation of Jackson, which originated as an English surname meaning 'son of Jack.' Jack itself is a medieval diminutive of John, derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' This contemporary spelling with an 'e' adds a unique twist to the traditional form. While less common than Jackson, Jacksen has gained some popularity in the United States since the early 2000s as part of the trend toward surname-inspired first names. Parents might choose this variation for its fresh feel while maintaining the strong, classic appeal of the original. The name projects an image of confidence and friendliness, qualities associated with the nickname Jack.
