"hilltop town, rocky place"
One instance where a phonetic spelling might be better.

Mineral and word name
This super-charged variation of Jett is on the rise -- along with the unlikely newcomer Jetson.

Kenet
Keny
Mike
English, diminutive of Michael
Unlike Jake or Sam, few parents put Mike on the birth certificate.

The classic strong-yet-friendly nickname name, much used for charming movie characters.
Nate
Diminutive of Nathan or Nathaniel, Hebrew

Six Feet Under transformed Nate's image from crusty uncle to cool guy. Nate is one of a new generation of nicknames that go directly on the birth certificate. Other similar names: Sam, Jack, Mack.…
Pearce
English and Irish
"son of Piers"
