Elizabeth is one of the most classic feminine names out there, but it has nevertheless been appearing in the US stats for boys since the late 19th century. While a good number of its appearances are likely down to data entry errors (before the system was computerized), it is unlikely to explain all 140 boys called Elizabeth in 1989, for example, or the 63 given the name in 2004.
 
It may be that the name has been used as a honor, perhaps with the intention of using nickname Eli, or the baby's middle name?

Granville is a distinguished English place name and surname that originated from the Norman-French "grande ville," meaning "large town." Dating back to medieval times, it gained usage as a given name in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly among families with connections to various Granville locations across England and France. The name carries an air of aristocratic heritage and old-world sophistication. While never extremely common, Granville experienced modest popularity in the early 20th century before declining in usage. Today, it represents a distinguished, vintage choice that suggests refinement and classic elegance. The name may appeal to parents interested in surnames as first names or seeking a dignified traditional option with historical resonance.

A spelling variation of Ladarius (also written as LaDarius or Ledarius), Ladarrius could be a compound name, created by combining the name Darius with the prefix la, gving it the meaning "the possessor of goodness". Alternatively, it could come from the Greek element lados and the Latin word arius meaning "princely" or "noble".
 
Either way, the name has a positive meaning and a pleasing flow, though some may find it a little dated now since LaDarius peaked in the 90s, when it featured in the US Top 1000. A notable bearer of this alternative spelling is footballer LaDarrius Bishop.

Nicholaus is a masculine name representing a classical Latin variation of Nicholas, which derives from the Greek 'Nikolaos' combining 'nike' (victory) and 'laos' (people), meaning 'victory of the people.' This spelling maintains the name's historical roots while offering a distinctive alternative to the more common Nicholas. The name carries rich historical significance through connections to Saint Nicholas and numerous notable figures throughout European history. While less common than Nicholas, Nicholaus appeals to parents seeking traditional names with classical flair. The name projects strength and intellectual depth, with cultural relevance across many European traditions. This spelling variation preserves the name's dignified character while standing out in contemporary usage.
