By 920102-ABCDEFGH
Updated Sat May 06 2023
From Alberto to Mitch, and from Papa to Willow, this list contains names intended for babies that have been used for restaurant workers in Papa Louie gamerias. Some unusual in the USA, some taken from place names, and some used internationally.
  1. James

    • Origin:

      English variation of Jacob, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "supplanter"

    • Description:

      James is one of the classic Anglo-Saxon names, a stalwart through the ages that is more popular—and yes, stylish—than ever today. It recently came out Number 1 in a poll of America's favorite boys' baby names, and is the most common male name, counting people of all ages, in the US.
  2. Cecilia

    • Origin:

      Feminine form of Cecil, Latin

    • Meaning:

      "blind"

    • Description:

      Cecilia is a lovely classic name deservedly enjoying a new turn in the sun. Always among the Top 500 girls' names in the US, Cecilia is now at its highest point ever.
  3. Willow

    • Origin:

      English nature name

    • Meaning:

      "willow tree"

    • Description:

      An ancient tree that figures in literature from Shakespeare to Harry Potter and is believed to possess magical powers, Willow is a lovely name, as graceful as its inspiration.
  4. Scarlett

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "scarlet, red"

    • Description:

      Scarlett Johansson is doing more for this sparky southern name than Scarlett O'Hara ever did. Since the turn of the 21st century, Scarlett has gone from an obscure literary name to one of the most popular girls' names starting with S, right after longtime favorites Sophia and Sofia.
  5. Cooper

    • Origin:

      English occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "barrel maker"

    • Description:

      The genial yet upscale and preppy Cooper was one of the first occupational last names to catch on -- and Cooper remains a pleasing option.
  6. Rudy

    • Origin:

      German, diminutive of Rudolph

    • Meaning:

      "famous wolf"

    • Description:

      Rudy has a bit of style currency, thanks to the fact that Jude Law used it for his son. It has been consistently in the Top 1000 for as long as Social Security records have been tallied, as opposed to parent name Rudolph, which, perhaps due to the reindeer, hasn't been heard from in some time.
  7. Roy

    • Origin:

      French or Celtic

    • Meaning:

      "king or red-haired"

    • Description:

      We've seen Ray regain his cool, but could this country/cowboy name epitomized by Roy Rogers (born Leonard Slye), Acuff, and Clark, do the same?
  8. Maggie

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Margaret

    • Meaning:

      "pearl"

    • Description:

      Maggie is a cute, earthy short form that has been in style for several decades now, still sometimes used as an independent name by such parents as Jon Stewart. First used in Scotland, it got a large bump in popularity via the 1971 Rod Stewart hit song "Maggie May." Today's Maggie might just as well be short for a more adventurous name such as Magdalena or Magnolia as for the classic Margaret.

      Maggie Gyllenhaal was born Margaret.

  9. Taylor

    • Origin:

      English occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "tailor"

    • Description:

      Taylor was much more popular throughout the 1990s for both genders than it is today. Close to the Top 50 boys' names in the mid-1990s, Taylor recently fell out of the Top 500 for boys and out of the Top 100 for girls, and is predicted to continue on a downward trajectory for both genders. Similar but more stylish baby names today include Sawyer, Sayer and Thayer.
  10. Clover

    • Origin:

      Flower name, from Old English

    • Meaning:

      "key"

    • Description:

      Clover is a charming, perky choice if you want to move beyond hothouse blooms like Rose and Lily, and it's recently become a new celeb favorite, chosen by both Neal McDonough and Natasha Gregson Wagner, who used it to honor her mother, Natalie Wood, one of whose most iconic films was Inside Daisy Clover.
  11. Joy

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "joy"

    • Description:

      Joy is from an older generation of word names, which also included Merry, Bliss, and Glory -- all of which exert a certain amount of personality pressure on a child. However, Joy, like Grace, Hope, and Rose, has crossed more into name-territory than other word choices, which lightens some of that pressure.
  12. Penny

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Penelope

    • Description:

      Like Peggy and Patsy, the kind of zesty moniker young Judy Garland would sport in her early let's-put-on-a-show flicks. It fell out of favor (and the Top 1000) for a while, but has recently rebounded by reentering the charts in 2013. Expect it to continue gaining traction on the heels of Penelope.
  13. Prudence

    • Origin:

      Virtue name

    • Meaning:

      "caution"

    • Description:

      Prudence, like Hope and Faith, is a Puritan virtue name with a quiet charm and sensitivity that is slowly returning to favor, though it hasn't yet registered on the charts.
  14. Rita

    • Origin:

      Spanish, Hindi

    • Meaning:

      "pearl; truth, order"

    • Description:

      One of the glamour girl names of the Rita Hayworth 1940s, Rita was once a Top 50 name and stayed on the SSA list until 2002.
  15. Peggy

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Margaret, Greek

    • Meaning:

      "pearl"

    • Description:

      Just when we had written off Peggy as the eternal perky, pug-nosed prom-queen she projected from the 1920s into the fifties, along came Mad Men, with intriguing mid-century characters with names like Joan and Betty--and Peggy, causing a bit of a re-think. MM's proto-feminist Peggy Olson was followed by Amy Adams's strong Oscar-nominated Peggy Dodd character in The Master.
  16. Carlo

    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Charles, French

    • Meaning:

      "free man"

    • Description:

      Energetic Italian classic that would blend with a surname of any ethnicity.
  17. Tony

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Anthony

    • Meaning:

      "priceless one"

    • Description:

      Tony, as in classy. Or To-nyyy, as yelled out a tenement window.
  18. Matt

    • Origin:

      Short form of Matthew

    • Meaning:

      "gift of God"

    • Description:

      Still one of the most appealing short forms, which goes a long way toward explaining the sustained popularity of Matthew. Matt is perennially the popular guy in high school, friendly, attractive, and comfortable with a baseball. Matty or Mattie are cute for a younger boy.
  19. Mitch

    • Description:

      Mitch is a masculine name that originated as a diminutive of Mitchell, which itself began as a surname derived from the name Michael, meaning "who is like God?" in Hebrew. Mitch emerged as a standalone given name in the mid-20th century, reflecting the American tendency to use nicknames as formal names. It peaked in popularity during the 1960s and 1970s, conveying a friendly, approachable quality with its short, punchy sound. The name carries associations with masculinity and straightforwardness. While its usage has declined since its peak, Mitch maintains a steady presence and evokes a certain unpretentious charm. Famous bearers include baseball player Mitch Williams and author Mitch Albom, adding to the name's cultural resonance.

  20. Alberto

    • Origin:

      Germanic

    • Meaning:

      "noble, bright"

    • Description:

      Alberto is the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese variation of Albert and lends a more unusual and fashionable edge to this name which is still a grandpa name to many.
