      "friend's hill or burial mound"

      Winslow, despite its creative connection to the distinguished American painter Winslow Homer, does still retain remnants of the image of a Victorian boy in a sailor suit, making Winston or even just Win a preferable modern choice.

      English

      "son of the steward"

    • Description:

      Greyson and Grayson, nephews of Jason, are both on the fast track. Both variations have made their way all the way up to the Top 100 since 2016. Gray/Grey makes a nice nickname.

Some parents are considering Grayson -- or Gracen or Gracyn -- for girls as an androgynous spin on Grace.

  12. Renay

    • Description:

      Renay is traditionally a feminine name that has seen some crossover usage as a masculine name. It derives from the Latin 'renatus' meaning 'born again' or 'reborn,' sharing roots with René and Renée. As a male name, Renay remains quite uncommon, representing a gender-neutral naming trend that gained some traction in the mid-20th century. The spelling variation with 'ay' instead of the more traditional 'é' or 'ee' gives it a distinctive appearance while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. The name has a soft, melodic quality that balances well between traditional and modern sensibilities. For male bearers, Renay offers a rare and somewhat unconventional choice that carries spiritual connotations of renewal and transformation.

  13. Bradeon

    • Description:

      Bradeon is a modern masculine name that appears to be a creative variation of names like Braden, Bradyn, or Brady. It likely shares roots with the traditional English surname Bradford, meaning 'broad ford' or 'wide river crossing.' The addition of the '-eon' suffix gives the conventional 'Brad-' prefix a contemporary twist. While not ranking among common boys' names in national statistics, Bradeon represents the trend of parents modifying traditional names with unique spellings and syllabic structures. The name carries a strong, masculine quality while maintaining a modern edge that distinguishes it from more traditional variations like Bradley or Bradford.
