Teddy Bear Boys

  1. Domino
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "lord, master"
    • Description:

      Swaggering, cutting-edge choice equally appropriate for both genders. It's also very rare, given in the US in 2015 to only seven baby girls....and no recorded baby boys. Do you want to be the first?
  2. Cam
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Cameron, Scottish
    • Meaning:

      "crooked nose"
    • Description:

      Cameron is still more popular as a boy's name than a girls and this simple, snappy short form works well for either sex.
  3. Lucca
    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Luca; Italian place name
    • Description:

      Lucca first entered the US Top 1000 in 2012 and has been trending upwards.
  4. Hanson
    • Origin:

      Scandinavian
    • Meaning:

      "son of Hans"
    • Description:

      More familiar and melodic to the American ear than either Hans or Hansen, and some might attach it to the three-brother pop-rock band called Hanson.
  5. Cadmus
    • Origin:

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "one who excels"
    • Description:

      Cadmus is the name of the serpent-slaying hero of Greek mythology who also founded the city of Thebes and is credited with inventing the alphabet. Its ancient feel might appeal to modern parents — especially since Cadmus Peverell is a human Harry Potter character, one of the three original owners of the Deathly Hallows.
  6. Haden
    • Description:

      Haden is a masculine name with English origins, historically functioning as a surname derived from place names meaning 'heather valley' or 'heath hill' in Old English. As a first name, Haden gained modest popularity in the late 20th century, appealing to parents seeking modern-sounding names with historical roots. The name offers versatility with alternative spellings including Hayden and Haydon, though Haden represents the more concise form. It carries associations with natural landscapes and the outdoors, evoking images of rolling hills and open spaces. Haden strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness—recognizable without being overly common. The name's short, strong sound pattern has contributed to its appeal for boys, conveying a straightforward, unpretentious character.
  7. Scorpio
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "scorpion"
    • Description:

      Of all the astrological names —think Leo, Aries, Gemini— Scorpio probably has the most dramatically potent presence, which could prove something of a burden to a young boy.
