Rugged and tough, Anderson shot up quite a bit on the pop list in the 2000's, no doubt in large part due to the prominence of white-haired cable newsman Anderson Coopers, more recently, it has featured in the US Top 400, given to 943 boys in the latest count.

 Actress Edie Falco was ahead of the trends when she named her son Anderson in 2005, but now it fits in with the likes of Judson, Harrison, and Emerson. It may also hold appeal as a fresh way to honor an Andrew, Andreas, or Andre, though Sanderson and Anders itself could be rarer alternatives.
