  1. Philip

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "lover of horses"

    • Description:

      Philip, the name of one of the 12 apostles, is still favored by parents in search of a solid boys' classic that is less neutral than Robert or John and more distinctive than Daniel or Matthew and has many historic, royal ties.
  2. Pip

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Philip

    • Meaning:

      "lover of horses"

    • Description:

      The original Pip was the main character in Great Expectations (full name Philip Pirrip). Cute for a tike, maybe too cute for an adult.
  3. Kip

    • Origin:

      American diminution of Christopher, Greek and Latin

    • Meaning:

      "bearer of Christ"

    • Description:

      Kip Thorne, nobel laureate and long-time colleague of Stephen Hawking, is just one of several Kips who don't have a longer name. But Kip is often short for Christopher.
  4. Tripp

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      The extra p makes Tripp more of a name and less of a Trip. Usually a nickname of a boy who's a third, but Tripp is sure to get more attention in its own right now as the name of Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol and Levi Johnston's son.
  5. Phillip

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "lover of horses"

    • Description:

      Spelling variation of Philip. Exactly as many baby boys were named with the single 'l' spelling in 2017.
  6. Rip

    • Origin:

      Dutch

    • Meaning:

      "strength, might"

    • Description:

      The name of Rip Van Winkle – and Rip (born Elmore) Torn – will probably never be ready for further consumption, if only because of the implications of R. I. P. The only thing that could save it is Rip Wheeler, the handsome ranch foreman on the soapy Western Yellowstone.
  7. Chip

    • Origin:

      Pet name for Charles

    • Description:

      Only if you're madly nostalgic for sixties TV.
  8. Shep

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Shepherd

    • Description:

      Three Stooges name (he's the one who wasn't Moe or Curly).
  9. Aesop

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Description:

      There once was a moralizing fabulist who tried to make it as a baby name...and failed.
  10. Skip

    • Description:

      Skip is a casual, spirited masculine name that originated as a nickname rather than a formal given name. Traditionally, it emerged as a diminutive for various names, particularly Christopher, but also for Richard, Skipper, or other names. The name evokes a carefree, energetic personality—someone who might 'skip' through life with enthusiasm. Skip gained some popularity in mid-20th century America, particularly during the 1950s-60s, reflecting the era's fondness for friendly, approachable nicknames as standalone names. While rarely used as a birth name today, it retains nostalgic charm and continues to be used as a nickname. The name carries associations with youthfulness, informality, and an unpretentious American sensibility.
  11. Filip

    • Origin:

      Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Polish, Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Macedonian, Romanian, and Finnish variation of Philip, Greek

    • Meaning:

      "lover of horses"

    • Description:

      Streamlined spelling found all across Europe. The Spanish Filipo has extra zip.
  12. Trip

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      This began as a nickname, usually for someone who was a "third," as in William III. But in an age where any noun goes, this could be thought of as representing a little voyager -- hopefully not into psychedelic realms.
  13. Hiệp

    • Origin:

      Vietnamese

    • Meaning:

      "to unite"

    • Description:

      Vietnamese baby names don't often make national news, but Hiệp grabbed everyone's attention when Olivia Munn and John Mulaney chose it as the middle name for their son Malcolm. In isolation, Hiệp means "to unite," but it is often used as a component of other words such as hiệp sĩ, meaning "knight," hiệp định, "agreement," and hiệp ước, "pact."
  14. Cap

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Description:

      The lead character of the Captain America movies, played by Chris Evans, is occasionally called Cap, short for "captain," but even he has a real name. (Steve Rogers, ICYC)
  15. Bishop

    • Origin:

      English occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "senior member of the church"

    • Description:

      Occupation names and spiritual names are in style, so it's hardly surprising that Bishop has been making appearances in the Top 1000. Popular back in the late 19th and early 20th century, it reappeared in the charts in 2015. Given to 170 boys in a recent year, it tends to drop in and out of the Top 1000.
  16. Philipp

    • Description:

      Philipp is a masculine name representing the German, Scandinavian, and Eastern European spelling of Philip, which derives from the Greek name Philippos, meaning 'lover of horses.' This two-p spelling remains the standard in many European countries, while English-speaking regions typically use Philip or Phillip. The name has ancient origins, initially gaining prominence through Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great. Throughout history, it has been borne by numerous kings, saints, and notable figures. Philipp combines classic heritage with international appeal, offering a slightly distinctive variation on a timeless name. The name conveys strength, nobility, and historical gravitas while remaining thoroughly contemporary in usage.
  17. Coop

    • Description:

      Coop is a masculine name with English origins, traditionally used as a nickname for Cooper, which itself began as an occupational surname for barrel makers or those who made wooden vessels. As a standalone name, Coop has a concise, strong quality with its single syllable and straightforward pronunciation. It conveys a casual, approachable masculinity with subtle rustic undertones. While quite uncommon as a formal given name, Coop has seen occasional use in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States. The name carries associations with craftsmanship and traditional work through its occupational roots. Its brevity makes it appealing in contemporary naming culture where short, punchy names for boys have gained favor. Coop projects an effortlessly cool, unpretentious character.

  18. Ostap

    • Origin:

      Ukrainian from Greek

    • Meaning:

      "well-built, stable"

    • Description:

      This is the Ukrainian version of Eustathios — the name of several early Greek saints — and therefore distantly connected to Eustace. It is currently among the top boy names in Ukraine.
  19. Winthrop

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "friend's village"

    • Description:

      Proper Bostonian.
  20. Jip

    • Origin:

      Frisian diminutive of Gijsbert, Dutch

    • Meaning:

      "shining pledge"

    • Description:

      In the well-known Dutch children's book series Jip and Janneke, Jip is a boy, but this cutesy nickname name can traditionally be used on both girls and boys.
