A quietly though not insubstantially used option for boys, Shine ticks a number of boxes. It's an unexpected word name with the familiar sounds of Shiloh or Shane; it fits in among ambitious virtue names like Sincere and Valor; it connects to the stars, the sun, and light in general (much like the popular Orion or Elio); and it has the unisex feel of Sutton and Sage.
 
In the US, around 35 boys were given the name Shine in a recent year, while in England and Wales, it was chosen for eight boys. Small numbers but still worth mentioning, as Shine has only appeared in the UK stats since 2022, and while it's been popping up in the US since the late 90s, it was rarely given to more than 10 babies until the 2020s. 
 
Influencers Rissa and Quan chose Shine for their son back in 2021, which does coincide with increased usage of the name.

Swade can be read in two ways: a creative respelling of word name Suede, or, as a surname-style choice. As a respelling, it relates to a soft leather material that's often used to make shoes and takes its name from the French phrase gants de Suède ("gloves of Sweden"). As a surname style choice, it comes from the Old English swathu, meaning "swath, track" or "strip of grassland", though the spelling is influenced by the German Schwade. 
 
Whichever way you look at it, Swade may appeal to those who enjoy the sound of the fabric name, but don't love that it's a word. In turn, this feels more reminiscent of Cade or Wade, giving it a slight cowboy vibe.
 
In a recent year, 22 boys were given the name Swade in the US, while Suede was chosen for 80 boys (and 32 girls).

Deondre is a masculine name that emerged in American naming patterns primarily in the 1980s and 1990s.
