  1. Allen

    • Origin:

      English and Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "handsome, cheerful"

    • Description:

      Allen is the spelling of this name -- other common spellings are Alan and Allan -- most associated with the surname; it might also be the most appropriate if you're trying to steer clear of Al as a nickname, as this can easily offer you Len or Lenny as options.
  2. Bailey-Cooper
    • Campbell

      • Origin:

        Scottish

      • Meaning:

        "crooked mouth"

      • Description:

        The seventh most common surname in Scotland, once associated only with soup, is now being considered as a last-name-first choice, accessible but unusual.
    • Davis

      • Origin:

        Surname derived from David, Hebrew

      • Meaning:

        "beloved"

      • Description:

        Davis is a fresh way to say David. Some sources define it as "son of David," but we see it as a surname spin on the original. While David is an everyman name, Davis has some creative edge -- and still gets you to the classic guy nickname Dave.
    • Green

      • Origin:

        Color name

      • Description:

        Middle name possibility for a nature-loving family -- Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke used it for their son's middle name.
    • Hernandez

      • Description:

        Hernandez is primarily known as a Spanish surname with roots in the Germanic personal name 'Ferdinand,' meaning 'bold voyager' or 'brave journey.' As a given name, Hernandez represents a modern trend of using traditional surnames as first names, particularly in Hispanic and Latino communities. This practice often honors family heritage or maternal family names. While uncommon as a first name globally, its usage has gradually increased in recent decades, especially in multicultural regions. Hernandez carries a strong cultural connection to Spanish and Latin American heritage, conveying a sense of tradition and familial pride. The name has a dignified quality and built-in nickname options like 'Hernan' or 'Nando,' making it both formal and adaptable.

    • Moore

      • Origin:

        English place-name

      • Meaning:

        "the moors"

      • Description:

        Moore is recommended as a rich and satisfying middle name choice, whether it relates to your own family history or not. Of the numerous outstanding Moore-surnamed namesakes, count sculptor Henry, writers Clement, Marianne and Brian, entertainers Demi, Dudley, Garry, Roger, Julianne, Melba and Mary Tyler, and provocateur Michael.
    • Morgan

      • Origin:

        Welsh

      • Meaning:

        "sea-born, sea-song or sea-circle"

      • Description:

        Morgan, once split evenly between the sexes, is a strong and attractive Welsh favorite, still a common boys’ name in Wales. Morgan is now more often a girls' name in the U.S. – about 2000 girls were given the name in one recent year, vs. 362 boys – though it's one of the most traditional unisex choices. Morgan was actually a Top 200 pick for boys in Victorian Britain!
    • Ross

      • Origin:

        English and Scottish

      • Meaning:

        "upland, peninsula"

      • Description:

        Like Friends, Ross is off the air and into syndication as a baby name, having plummeted from its zenith in the late 80s to fall off the US Top 1000 in 2013. Today, Ross is more likely to be a dad name than a newborn name.
    • Smith

      • Origin:

        English occupational name

      • Meaning:

        "blacksmith"

      • Description:

        Even if it is the Number one surname in the U.S.--with more than 2.5 million bearers--we still think that Smith would make a cool first or middle name, whether or not it has family history.
