  1. Tatum

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "Tate's homestead"

    • Description:

      Tatum is one of the rare examples of a name that was exclusively female, as in Tatum O'Neal, but now is used for boys too, entering the male Top 1000 in 2010. Khloe Kardashian made headlines when she revealed her son is named Tatum Robert, breaking from the family theme of using unique word names for their children.
  2. Tayden

    • Description:

      Tayden is a modern masculine name that follows the popular contemporary pattern of blending familiar name elements. It likely combines the 'Tay-' prefix (as in Taylor or Tayler) with the trendy '-den' suffix seen in names like Aiden, Jayden, and Brayden. Created in the early 2000s during the height of the '-den'/'-dan' name trend, Tayden exemplifies the modern approach to creating new names with familiar sounds. While not among the most popular modern coinages, it has seen steady usage in the United States since its emergence. Tayden has a contemporary, energetic quality that appeals to parents seeking something modern yet accessible.
  3. Tayler

    • Description:

      Tayler is a masculine name that represents an alternative spelling of the occupational surname Taylor, which originally referred to someone who worked as a tailor. This variation maintains the same pronunciation while offering a slightly distinctive appearance. While Taylor is commonly used for both boys and girls, the Tayler spelling is often chosen specifically for boys to differentiate it from the more gender-neutral traditional spelling. The name gained moderate popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as part of the trend toward using surnames as first names. Tayler projects a modern, approachable quality while maintaining connections to traditional naming patterns.

  4. Taysen

    • Description:

      Taysen is a modern masculine name that likely developed as a variation of names like Tyson or Taylor, or as a blend of popular sound elements. With the trendy 'ay' sound and '-sen' ending (similar to Jensen or Hansen), it fits contemporary naming patterns. The name has gained modest usage since the early 2000s, particularly in North America, appealing to parents seeking names that sound familiar yet distinctive. While lacking historical roots, Taysen carries a strong, contemporary feel with a hint of Scandinavian influence through its ending. The name projects an image of youthful energy and modern masculinity.

  5. Timothy

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "honoring God"

    • Description:

      A second-tier classic, the New Testament Timothy moves in and out of fashion more than John and James. But though it peaked in the 1960s, many modern parents still appreciate its familiarity and lively rhythm. And the short form Tim feels eternally boyish.
  6. Titus

    • Origin:

      Latin, meaning unknown, possibly "title of honour"

    • Meaning:

      "title of honour"

    • Description:

      Titus, once seen as a slightly forbidding Roman, New Testament, and Shakespearean name, was brought back to contemporary life in the USA by the TV series Titus 2000, increasing in popularity along with other revived ancient names like Linus and Silas.
  7. Trenton

    • Origin:

      English, place-name

    • Meaning:

      "Trent's town"

    • Description:

      There's only one Trenton, New Jersey, but it's a widely used name, more for its fashionable -on ending than the reference to the city. Since 2007, however, Trenton has been on a steady decline. Trenten is another popular spelling.
  8. Trevon

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Description:

      Americanization of Trevor that is catching on, as are other versions Trevion and Trevin.
  9. Trevor

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "from the large village"

    • Description:

      Trevor, a British standard, took a long time to cross the Atlantic, but finally began its rise here in the 1980s. It is now a thoroughly naturalized citizen, though it still retains a touch of Anglo class.
  10. Tyler

    • Origin:

      English occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "maker of tiles"

    • Description:

      The presidential Tyler rocketed up popularity charts in the late 1980s and early 1990s (it ranked Number 9 for that entire decade), along with cousin Taylor, becoming almost pandemic across the land-- and to make matters more confusing, both (especially Taylor) have been used for girls as well.
