  1. December

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "tenth month"

    • Description:

      Cooler than April, May, or June, but also a tad icy. December gets its name from the number ten as the old Roman calendar only had ten months, and as now, December was the last.
  2. Joplin

    • Origin:

      English surname

    • Meaning:

      "son of Job"

    • Description:

      Used as a first name for a handful of girls every year, Joplin could be seen as a distant cousin of other -lin names, like Caitlin, Brooklyn and Braelynn. We think it works even better as a musical middle name possibility for fans of Janis... or Scott. Both great connections — albeit very different from one another.

  5. Treyton

    • Origin:

      American invented name

    • Description:

      A trendy sounding choice--if we had to give it a meaning would be either "three cities" or "town with trees," but since it's a modern invention, you'd have to pick it for its current feel alone. Another option: TRENTON, a real place name.

  7. Fayne

    • Description:

      Fayne is an uncommon masculine name with several possible origins. It may derive from the Middle English word 'fain,' meaning 'glad,' 'willing,' or 'pleased.'

The name bears phonetic similarity to the word 'feign,' though they are etymologically distinct. Fayne has never achieved widespread popularity, maintaining its status as a rare choice. The name has a distinctive one-syllable strength with an intriguing spelling, appealing to parents seeking something unique yet straightforward. Its ancient linguistic roots give it a timeless quality despite its modern rarity.

  9. Syd

    • Description:

      Syd is a concise masculine name with multiple origins. Most commonly, it serves as a diminutive of Sidney (or Sydney), which derived from French place names meaning 'wide island' or 'Saint Denis.' It gained recognition through notable bearers like Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett and musician Syd Barrett. The name's brevity gives it a modern, punchy quality while maintaining a connection to its longer, more traditional form. Syd has never ranked among top names but maintains steady usage as both a nickname and standalone name. Its simplicity makes it versatile across cultures, while its short form fits contemporary preferences for brief, distinctive names that work well in professional settings and casual interactions alike.
