  1. Damian

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "to tame, subdue"

    • Description:

      Damian has sidestepped its demonic horror movie overtones, leaving a basically friendly and charming Irish image. A well-used upper-class name in England, it is growing in popularity here.
  2. Deacon

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "messenger, servant"

    • Description:

      This name was transposed from the word for a church officer to a baby name when Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe chose it for their son, after a baseball player ancestor, and Don Johnson followed suit. Its popularity also got a boost from Nashville character Deacon Claybourne -- only to fall a bit in recent years.
  3. Efren

    • Description:

      Efren is a masculine name of Spanish origin, derived from the Hebrew name Ephraim, which means 'fruitful' or 'productive.' In the Bible, Ephraim was the second son of Joseph and founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Efren is particularly popular in Hispanic and Latino communities, especially in Mexico and the southwestern United States. The name carries a pleasant musicality with its balanced syllables while maintaining a strong, masculine quality. Though not among the most common Spanish names internationally, it has remained in consistent use throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Efren offers parents a name with biblical roots and cultural richness that works well across generations while being distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell.

  4. Fynn

    • Origin:

      Variation of Finn

    • Meaning:

  5. Henry

    • Origin:

      German

    • Meaning:

      "estate ruler"

    • Description:

      Henry is well and truly back in style. The classic returned to the Top 10 in the US in 2021 for the first time in over a century, and as of 2024, sits at Number 6. Like James and Theodore, Henry is a strong, traditional name that also manages to feel stylish and gentle.
  6. Kellan

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Kellen

    • Meaning:

      "swamp; slender"

    • Description:

  8. RENLY
    • Tennyson

      • Origin:

        English

      • Meaning:

        "son of Dennis"

      • Description:

        Few people would have considered the surname of this famous Victorian poet as a first name until Russell Crowe chose it for his son in 2006. But, as a rhythmic three-syllable patronymic, Tennyson has a lot going for it, not least of all the appealing nickname Tenny; it would make a novel choice for the son of a Dennis.
    • Wolf

      • Origin:

        Animal name or diminutive of Wolfgang, German

      • Meaning:

        " traveling wolf"

      • Description:

        Wolf is a name with a split personality. It can be seen as one of the fierce animal names, like Fox and Bear and Puma, with a touch of the werewolf, or it can be viewed as a quieter, Wolf Blitzer kind of name, fairly common in German (where is pronounced Vulf) and Jewish families, sometimes as a short form of Wolfgang, or even Wolfram or Wolfhart.
