Mason is an occupational surname that ranked among the Top 10 name for boys throughout the 2010s, after its choice as one of the first Kardashian baby names. It remained a Top 10 choice in the US…
Amahl
Hebrew
"hard labor"
Known from the Menotti opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors, this is a subdued and gentle name.
Brazier
Occupational name

Caledonia
Latin place-name for Scotland
"hard or rocky land"
Caledonia is a rhythmic and alluring place name used by singer Shawn Colvin for her daughter. It would make an interesting and apt choice for a girl with Scottish ancestry.
Macen
English, feminine variation of Mason
"worker in stone"
Rather than going with a yooneek spelling like Macen (or Maysen or Masyn), we'd suggest sticking with the original Mason, as Kelsey Grammer did for his daughter.
Orino
Japanese
"worker's field"
Not as familiar as some other Asian imports; has a strong unisex feel.
