  1. Sheldon

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "steep-sided valley"

    • Description:

      Like Marvin and Melvin, Sheldon has been perceived as about as far out as you can get, though there are very pretty towns in Devon and Derbyshire that inspired it. Sheldon Lee Cooper is the lead nerd character on the TV hit The Big Bang Theory, giving the name a brainy image. Nickname Shel (as in Shel Silverstein, author of Where the Sidewalk Ends) could, in the modern world of nature name love, be seen as beach evoking.
  2. Slash

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "slash"

    • Description:

      Slash is here because model Amber Rose and Def Jam Records exec Alexander AE Edwards named their baby boy Slash Electric Alexander. Is it cool? Or is it violent and terrifying? Or is it both? We're going to go with Door Number 2 and place it in the same category as names like Dagger and Pistol, but we are not models or record execs.
  3. Sophy

    • Description:

      Sophy is a charming feminine name with deep historical roots, functioning as a diminutive of Sophia, which means "wisdom" in Greek. This shorter variant has appeared throughout European history, particularly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries among English speakers. Sophy offers a sweet, vintage appeal while maintaining the intellectual gravitas of its parent name. The name exudes a classic simplicity that works well across cultures and ages gracefully. While less common than Sophia or Sophie in modern usage, Sophy has maintained steady, if modest, usage, appealing to parents drawn to traditional names with a gentle, slightly antiquated charm.
  4. Sora

    • Origin:

      Japanese or Korean

    • Meaning:

      "sky; conch shell"

    • Description:

      A simple and pretty multicultural name: as a Japanese name, it's unisex and means "sky"; as a Korean name, it's feminine and means "conch shell".
  5. Stu

    • Description:

      Stu is a masculine name primarily used as a diminutive of Stuart, Stewart, or Stanley. Stuart and Stewart originated as Scottish surnames derived from the Old English 'stig-weard,' meaning 'household guardian.' As a standalone name, Stu gained some usage in the mid-20th century during a trend toward friendly, approachable shortened names. It projects a casual, unpretentious quality with a distinctly mid-century feel. While never ranking highly as a formal given name, Stu maintains recognition through cultural references like the character Stu Pickles from the animated series 'Rugrats' and various sports personalities. Today, it's more commonly used as a nickname rather than a legal given name.

      • Slim
        • Tarou

          • Meaning:

        • Theo

          • Origin:

            Diminutive of Theodore

          • Meaning:

            "gift of God"

        • Tim

          • Origin:

            Diminutive of Timothy, Greek

          • Meaning:

            "honoring God"

          • Description:

            Tim is a boyish short form occasionally given on its own. There were 37 baby boys named Tim in the US last year, versus over 1700 named Timothy.
        • Timothy

          • Origin:

            Greek

          • Meaning:

            "honoring God"

          • Description:

            A second-tier classic, the New Testament Timothy moves in and out of fashion more than John and James. But though it peaked in the 1960s, many modern parents still appreciate its familiarity and lively rhythm. And the short form Tim feels eternally boyish.
        • Toby

          • Origin:

            Diminutive of Tobias

          • Description:

            This jaunty unisex nickname name has recently been given a shot of testosterone via actor Tobey Maguire and the gruff, erudite character on West Wing.
        • Tod

          • Description:

            Tod is a masculine name of German and English origin, meaning 'death' in German or functioning as a short form of the names Theodore ('gift of God') or Todhunter. Despite its somewhat grim German meaning, the name has enjoyed moderate popularity in English-speaking countries. Tod peaked in usage during the mid-20th century but has since declined. The name carries a strong, concise quality with its three-letter simplicity. Famous bearers include American actor Tod Andrews and baseball player Tod Sloan, which helped establish it as a recognizable yet uncommon choice. Tod's brevity gives it a straightforward, no-nonsense character.

        • Tracey

          • Origin:

            Variation of Tracy

          • Meaning:

            "of Thracia"

          • Description:

            Popular in the 60s, 70s and 80s, Tracey (and its spelling variation Tracy) have since fallen out of style. As a masculine name, it has been in use since at least the 19th century and was spotlighted in 1837 when Charles Dickens used it for a character in his novel The Pickwick Papers. Derived from a Roman family name, it refers to an ancient settlement known as Thracia, although it has been considered a variant of Theresa too.

                  • Origin:

                    Literary invention; also a species of butterfly

                  • Description:

                    Vanessa was invented by writer Jonathan Swift for a lover named Esther Vanhomrigh—he combined the first syllable of her last name with the initial syllable of her first. Swift used it in the poem Cadenus and Vanessa in 1713. A century later, Johan Christian Fabricius used Vanessa as the name of a genus of butterfly.
