A Bit Unusual (boys)

  1. Tallon
    • Description:

      Tallon is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from the English word 'talon,' referring to a bird of prey's claw, suggesting strength and sharpness. Alternatively, it could be a variant spelling of Talon or an anglicized form of Irish surnames. The name projects qualities of strength, precision, and determination. With its strong consonants and straightforward pronunciation, Tallon has gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries since the 1990s, particularly in the United States. It appeals to parents seeking names with nature connections and powerful connotations. The name's distinctive spelling with double 'l' helps differentiate it from the more common word 'talon.'

  2. Torsten
    • Origin:

      Swedish from Old Norse
    • Meaning:

      "Thor's stone"
    • Description:

      Scandinavian names are fashionable these days, and Torsten is one that is used only occasionally: About 20 baby boys were named Torsten in the US last year.
  3. Tressel
    • Zaden
      • Origin:

        Modern invented name
      • Description:

        A nouveau member of the Aidan/Braden/Jaden group. Yet another variation on a too-trendy genre -- never the most original way to go, even if there aren't yet many Zadens on your block. Still, a Z initial always adds zest and this is a name many boys would love to have for their very own.
