Track

Chosen by US politician, Sarah Palin back the late 80s, Track is an unexpected word name with multiple layers. Perhaps too on the nose for most, it has appeared in the US stats only one, in 2011, when it was given to 8 boys.

Still, in the age of word names ranging for Lyric to Chosen, Wilder to Excel, Track could fit in. On one hand, it feels totally sporty, bringing to mind running tracks and sports venues. On the other, it's wilder, associated with trails beaten in to the earth by hikers, with treks through the woods, across farmland, or up mountain sides.

Alternatively, it's a musical choice, used for one of several songs on a recording, however, it may also be associated with the trace or impression something leaves behind, with railway lines, and with following or finding something.

Sarah Palin and her former husband Todd chose it to honor their love for running, and as such, Track feels like it could fit with Chase and Dash, as much as it could with Trail, Canyon, Wilder, Cadence, and Everest.

Pronounced TRACK.

As of October 2026, Track ranked #9519 in US births in 2011 SSA.
