  1. 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.
  2. Creighton

    • Origin:

      English and Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "hilltop town, rocky place"

    • Description:

      One instance where a phonetic spelling might be better.
  3. Lautner
    • 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.
