Nancy Drew PC Game Characters
- Wade
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"at the river crossing"Description:
Wade has never been outside the US Top 1000 for boys - there's a reason for that. It has a clean spelling, fresh sound and is neither too trendy (unlike Kade or Cade) or too old-school (like Richard or Albert). We think Wade is a winning name.
- William
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"resolute protection"Description:
William is one of the most enduring of classic names for boys. It's also among the most popular boys' names, as American parents see it as being ideally conservative yet contemporary, and hands-down the most popular baby name beginning with W of all time.
- Xander
Origin:
Diminutive of Alexander, GreekMeaning:
"defending men"Description:
Xander is a diminutive of Alexander, the Latin variation of the Greek Alexandros. Its meaning, "defending men," is taken from the Greek roots aléxein, "to defend," and andros, "men." Zander, pronounced the same way, is an alternate spelling.
- Xenia
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"hospitable, welcoming, guest"Description:
The name of a Christian saint and a city in Ohio, Xenia is one of the more accessible and intriguing x names. It is the name of one of the Bond Girls--played by Famke Janssen in the film "GoldenEye."
- Yanni
Origin:
Variation of Yiannis or Giannis, GreekMeaning:
"God is Gracious"Description:
A short form of Yiannis which is an alternative transcription of the Greek Giannis, which originates from the Biblical John. It might also be used as a form of other John variations too, such as Johan, Yanko, and Yannic.
- Yumi
- Zoe
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"life"Description:
Zoe is one of those surprising names that has been on the Top 1000 nearly every year since 1880, but it's only since the turn of this century that it's ranked in the Top 100.
