- Cayce

Variation of CaseDescription:
Kayce (pronounce like Casey) was among the fastest-rising boy names of 2022, jumping all the way up to #587 thanks to character Kayce Dutton from the hit show Yellowstone. With the Casey spelling having its own boost for both boys and girls, it is not long before Cayce will start to climb too.

Latin diminutive of Judah, HebrewMeaning:
"praised"Description:
Jude is a modern star, maintaining a steady level of popularity -- but not TOO much popularity, in the US at least. Thank Jude Law and the great Lennon-McCartney song "Hey Jude", double-handedly responsible for propelling Jude up the charts.
- Kajun
- Kyler
- Morgen
- Ross
Origin:
English and ScottishMeaning:
"upland, peninsula"Description:
Like Friends, Ross is off the air and into syndication as a baby name, having plummeted from its zenith in the late 80s to fall off the US Top 1000 in 2013. Today, Ross is more likely to be a dad name than a newborn name.
- Ryen
- Sage
Origin:
Herb name, LatinMeaning:
"wise and knowing"Description:
Sage is an evocatively fragrant herbal name that also connotes wisdom, giving it a double advantage. It entered the Top 1000 at about the same time for both genders in the early 1990s, but it has pulled ahead for the girls. Toni Collette named her daughter Sage Florence.
