Invented Boy Names

Sohan is a modern French invention. It may be related to Jean or a variation of the similar name Yohan.

With the sprightly "Ren" and "Wren" currently in fashion, and "ley" a productive suffix to create new names, this combination was inevitable, and is chirpy and appealing. Renley has been on the US charts for girls since 2012, and for boys since 2013. It probably got a boost from the Game of Thrones character Renly Baratheon, albeit with a slightly different spelling.
 
It could be interpreted as being a variation of Wrenley meaning "wren clearing" or be taken from the English surname Renley meaning "edge of the meadow".

Renley

Rhyett is a respelling of the word name Riot with a name-centric spin combining the popular Rhett and Wyatt. While rising in popularity, Rhyett might prove confusing on spelling and pronunciation, spawning a lifetime of "Riot? Wyatt? How do you spell that, anyway?"

Once strictly a surname--Chasen's was an old Hollywood hangout--it's now catching on as a first name, both as an elaboration of the popular CHASE, and in following the pattern of popular two-syllable boys' names.

Chasen

Name with an Asian feel, thanks to a Japanese city and Imari porcelain. 

Imari

LiAngelo entered the lexicon thanks to basketball player LiAngelo Ball, the middle son in the Ball basketball family. Prior to this association, the name was extremely rare. It can be thought of as a combination of Li, technically a Chinese name meaning lotus or connection, and classic Italian name Angelo, meaning angel. A handful of baby boys were named LiAngelo in the US last year.

The invented name Xael debuted on the charts for boys in 2010. It is primarily used among Spanish-speaking families.

Renly Baratheon was a fairly minor character in A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO's Game of Thrones, mostly remembered as the one of the show's few prominent LGBT characters. He played a major part in season 2 of the show, when he challenged the Lannisters and his older brother Stannis for control of the Iron Throne. Despite the relative insignificance of the character, Renly has actually started to gain a bit of traction as a boys' name, thanks to its fresh, upbeat sound. A respectable 29 baby boys were named Renly in 2016 -- up from ZERO before the show premiered.

Renly

A trendy sounding choice--if we had to give it a meaning would be either "three cities" or "town with trees," but since it's a modern invention, you'd have to pick it for its current feel alone.  Another option: TRENTON, a real place name.

Treyton

Rhyland

In the Top 1,000 since 1996, a less expected alternative to Omar. 

Shamar

This recent riff on the theme of Kevin has a pleasant sound but no real history or meaning. 

Jevin

Taiden

Braxley is an invented name — a combination of two hot syllables — and therefore has no official meaning. It could, however, be interpreted to mean "Brock's field" from each of its elements.

Braxley

Many baby boys have been named after LA Clippers' basketball player Kawhi Leonard since his 2013 debut. Leonard says his father invented the name because he wanted something that sounded Hawaiian. Kawhi sounds like Kauai, the name of one of the Hawaiian islands.

Kawhi

Kaylor is a faux surname name. It doesn't have an occupational meaning, unlike soundalike names Taylor ("tailor") and Baylor ("one who delivers goods"). It may be considered an Anglicization of surnames such as Keillor or Kohler, but its use typically arises from a combination of the names Kay and Taylor.

Kaylor

One part fantastical literary invention and one part Ancient Greek, Atreyus is a new and rising name for boys. It's could be viewed as a combination of Atreus, an Ancient Greek name, and Atreyu, created by German author Michael Ende for his novel The Neverending Story.
 
Atreyus debuted on the American charts in 2018 when it was given to five baby boys.

Atreyus

Anduin is the Sindarin name for the Great River of Wilderland in Tolkien’s fictional Middle-earth. The word means "long river" or "great river".
 Anduin is also a character name in the popular World of Warcraft video game franchise.

The Coca-Cola Company created the name Dasani for its brand-new bottled water in 1999. Dasani was chosen because "the name is relaxing and suggests pureness and replenishment," according to consumer testing, though it has been linked to the Latin sanus meaning "healthy".
 
Dasani has consistently been used as a baby name for both girls and boys since 1999, although the numbers are typically higher for girls. The name was most popular in 2001 when it was given to over 150 babies, while more recently, it was given to just 13 girls and 8 boys.
