      "Jehovah increases"
    • Description:

  7. Thade
    • Description:

      Thade is a masculine name of Irish origin, typically considered a shortened form of Thaddeus. The original name Thaddeus derives from Aramaic, meaning 'gift of God' or 'courageous heart.' In Ireland, Thade has historically been used as a diminutive, particularly in County Cork and surrounding areas. It remains quite uncommon in modern usage, giving it a distinctive quality. The name carries a traditional Irish sensibility while being short and straightforward. Those named Thade might appreciate its connection to Irish heritage and its relative uniqueness in contemporary society.
  8. Pascoe
    • Origin:

      Cornish variation of Pascal
    • Meaning:

      "Easter"

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Ralph
    • Meaning:

      "wolf-counsel"
    • Description:

      Ralphie is one of those short forms that have been out of style for so long it just might have a chance of coming back in, if you can get past seeing it as a desperate attempt to cute-ify a stodgy old man's name.
  11. Steve
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Stephen or Steven
    • Meaning:

      "garland, crown"
    • Description:

      Some parents just use Steve on the birth certificate, but it doesn't have the breezy charm of trendy short forms like Max, Sam, and Jake. Regardless of how much you love Steve as a given name, it might be smart to give your son a longer option to fall back on.
  12. Love
    • Origin:

      English word name or Swedish variation of Louis
    • Meaning:

      "renowned warrior"

    • Meaning:

      "delivered"
    • Description:

      If Gus and Max have made it, why not Moe? Can it be the lingering Three Stooges effect? We think that Moe, like Joe, is one of the friendliest and most open of regular guy nickname names and should get a little more attention.
