Favorite Boy names

  1. Wade
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "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.
  2. Baylor
    • Origin:

      English occupational surname
    • Meaning:

      "one who delivers goods"
    • Description:

      Baylor's 2014 ascension to the US Top 1000 for boys is probably thanks to its fashionable two-syllable, r-ending, occupational surname feel. Think of it as Taylor with a twist.
  3. Creighton
    • Origin:

      English and Scottish
    • Meaning:

      "hilltop town, rocky place"
    • Description:

      One instance where a phonetic spelling might be better.
  4. Lautner
