  1. Robin

    • Origin:

      Bird name; or English, diminutive of Robert

    • Meaning:

      "bright fame"

    • Description:

      Now that it's no longer fashionable for girls, Robin is rising for boys again. Robin Hood, Robin Williams, Christopher Robin, and Robin the Boy Wonder are all male namesakes, after all. It reentered the US Top 1000 boys names in 2015 for the first time since 1999 and continues to bounce around the lower end of the Top 1000.
  2. Robert

    • Origin:

      English from German

    • Meaning:

      "bright fame"

    • Description:

      Robert was the Number 1 boys' name in the US in both 1925 and 1950, and in fact was in the Top 25 for more than a century, giving it true classic status. Strong if not quite stylish, Robert remains in the Top 100 for baby boys as a family favorite.
  3. Serena

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "tranquil, serene"

    • Description:

      Serena, a name used since Roman times, was given fresh life by tennis star Williams, and then again with the leading character on Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen. There have also been Serenas on soap operas and other shows from Bewitched to Law & Order.
  4. Sansa

    • Origin:

      Sanskrit

    • Meaning:

      "praise, charm"

    • Description:

      Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin is a master namer, and this unusual choice from India is beginning to be heard in nurseries as well as on television. Sansa was perhaps slower to catch on than other names such as Arya and Khaleesi as Sansa Stark was in the first seasons of the show a weak and compromised character.
  5. Shae

    • Origin:

      Variation of Shay, Irish

    • Meaning:

      "the stately, dauntless one"

    • Description:

      The third-most-popular spelling of this name, after Shea and Shay, is notable mostly for its connection to Game of Thrones. Shae is a "camp follower" -- AKA prostitute -- who becomes the loyal mistress to Tyrion Lannister while he is serving as Hand of the King.
  6. Ramsay

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "low-lying land"

    • Description:

      A surname occasionally used as a first, as in former attorney general Ramsey Clark. This spelling is now closely associated with the psychopathic Game of Thrones villain Ramsay Snow (later Ramsay Bolton), and so is probably best avoided as long as the show and books are popular.
  7. Stafford

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "from the ford by the landing place"

    • Description:

      Sounds as if it should have a Sir before it or a shire following it.
  8. Robb

    • Description:

      The version of Rob used in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books and HBO's Game of Thrones.
  9. Rodrik

    • Description:

      Rodrik is a masculine name with strong Norse and Germanic roots, deriving from elements meaning 'famous power' or 'renowned ruler.' It represents a variation of Roderick, which was introduced to Britain during the Anglo-Saxon invasions and later spread throughout Europe. Rodrik maintains the strong, commanding presence of its traditional form while offering a more distinctive spelling that evokes its Nordic heritage. The name has experienced renewed interest due to its appearance in fantasy literature and media, including George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series. With its strong consonants and compact form, Rodrik conveys strength and leadership while remaining accessible. It appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth and a bold, masculine character.
  10. Quentyn

    • Description:

      Quentyn is a masculine name representing a modern spelling variation of Quentin, which derives from the Latin name Quintinus, meaning 'fifth.' This alternative spelling adds distinctiveness to the traditional name while maintaining its historical connections. The 'y' substitution follows a trend in contemporary naming that seeks to personalize classic names with unique orthography. Quentyn has gained some recognition through its use in popular culture, notably as a character name in George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series. While less common than the standard Quentin spelling, Quentyn appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth but a more modern presentation. The name conveys strength and individuality, with a slight medieval or fantasy-literature quality that sets it apart from more conventional names.
  11. Ronnel

    • Description:

      Ronnel is a masculine name that likely developed as a variant of Ronald or as a combination of Ron (short for Ronald) and the "-el" suffix common in many names. Ronald, from which it may derive, has Norse origins meaning "ruler's counselor." Ronnel has a strong, concise sound while maintaining a certain softness with its ending. The name has never been widely popular in the United States but saw modest usage in the latter half of the 20th century. It may appeal to parents seeking a name that sounds familiar yet isn't commonplace. Ronnel shares phonetic elements with names like Donnell and Lionel, placing it in a category of names with similar rhythmic patterns.

  12. Quenton

    • Description:

      Quenton is a masculine name representing an alternative spelling of Quentin, which derives from the Latin name Quintinus, meaning 'fifth.' Originally referring to a child born fifth in birth order, this name has evolved beyond its numerical origins. The variation with an 'o' gives the classic name a slightly distinctive edge while maintaining its sophisticated sound. Quenton carries an air of refinement and intellect, perhaps influenced by notable bearers like filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. While less common than the traditional spelling, Quenton appeals to parents seeking names that balance familiarity with uniqueness, offering a subtle twist on a recognized classic.

  13. Rickard

    • Description:

      Rickard is a Germanic and Scandinavian variation of Richard, a classic masculine name composed of elements meaning "powerful" and "brave ruler." This particular spelling is especially common in Sweden, though it appears throughout Northern Europe. While less frequent than the standard Richard in English-speaking countries, Rickard maintains the same distinguished history and strong connotations of leadership. The name has been borne by kings, warriors, and nobles throughout European history. In contemporary usage, Rickard offers a subtle alternative to the more common spelling while preserving familiar nickname options like Rick or Ricky. Its Scandinavian connections give it a distinctive character while remaining easily recognizable and pronounceable across cultural boundaries.
  14. Sandor

    • Origin:

      Hungarian diminutive of Alexander

    • Description:

      Despite a possible pronunciation problem, a pleasant, unusual choice. Sandor Clegane (nicknamed The Hound) is a major character on Game of Thrones. In Hungary, the name is spelt with an accent - Sándor.
  15. Steffon

    • Origin:

      Literature

    • Description:
