Brothers for Killian

We already have a baby boy named Killian Atlas, now we need a coordinating name if he should have a brother down the line. No K names (already waaaay too many in the family) and he already has a cousin named Jameson haha.
  1. Brady
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "broad meadow or large-chested"
    • Description:

      The Irish name given to Miranda Hobbes's son on the dearly departed Sex and the City is a friendly and energetic choice. You well might want to make your son part of the Brady bunch.
  2. Ezra
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "help"
    • Description:

      Ezra has a lot going for it: the strength of its heroic Biblical legacy, its quirky sound, and its fresh but familiar feel. Ezra is now at its highest point ever, but its intuitive streamlined spelling and deep roots could make it a worth successor to Elijah in the Top 10 -- or even to Liam or Noah at Number 1.
  3. Grover
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "lives near a grove of trees"
    • Description:

      Forget the furry blue Muppet, forget corpulent President Cleveland (not too difficult), and consider this name anew. We think it's spunky, a little funky, and well worth a second look.
  4. Henry
    • Origin:

      German
    • Meaning:

      "estate ruler"
    • Description:

      Henry is back. The classic Henry climbed back onto the Top 10 in the US in 2021 for the first time in over a century, and now stands at Number 8.
  5. Kristoff
    • Description:

      Kristoff is a masculine name of Slavic and Scandinavian origin, serving as a variation of Christopher, which means 'bearer of Christ' from the Greek 'Christophoros'. The name gained significant recognition in modern popular culture through the character Kristoff in Disney's 'Frozen' films. Before this exposure, the name was more commonly found in Northern European countries, particularly in Russia, Norway, and Sweden. Kristoff has a strong, distinctive sound while maintaining a friendly accessibility. While not among the most common names in English-speaking countries, it offers families a slightly unique alternative to the more traditional Christopher, with the same meaningful religious connection but a more distinctive Nordic flair.

  6. Lathe
    • Description:

      Lathe is an uncommon masculine name with distinctive industrial origins. Derived from the Old English word for a machine tool used for shaping wood or metal, Lathe represents craftsmanship and precision. While primarily known as a tool, its adoption as a personal name reflects modern parents' attraction to unique occupational and object-based names. With its short, strong sound and single-syllable structure, Lathe offers a rare alternative to more common masculine names. Though extremely rare in usage data, it appeals to parents seeking distinctive, strong-sounding names with connotations of skill and creation.

  7. Tristan
    • Origin:

      Celtic
    • Meaning:

      "noise or sorrowful"
    • Description:

      Tristan -- known through medieval legend and Wagnerian opera -- has a slightly wistful, touching air. This, combined with the name's popular "an" ending, makes Tristan very appealing to parents seeking a more original alternative to Christian.
  8. Theodore Rex
    • Walt
      • Origin:

        German, diminutive of Walter
      • Description:

        A straightforward, down-to-earth nickname many Walters, from Whitman to Disney, have chosen to go by.
