My daughter: Carson Christiane; my first son: Zackery William; my second son: Asher Jude Isaiah
  1. Asher

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "fortunate, blessed, happy one"

    • Description:

      Asher—an excellent, soft and sensitive Old Testament choice—is a baby boy name on the rise, and is a Nameberry biblical favorite.
  2. Carson

    • Origin:

      English and Scottish surname

    • Meaning:

      "son of the marsh dwellers"

    • Description:

      Very popular surname choice — it's in the Boys' Top 100 — beginning to catch on for girls. First female association: novelist Carson McCullers.
  3. Christiane

    • Origin:

      German and French feminine form of Christian

    • Description:

      There are not one but two notable modern women with this name: journalist Christiane Amanpour and physician/author Christiane Northrup. In Germany, the pronunciation is kris-tee-AH-na while in France, it's kris-tee-AHN — and in the U.S., there's sure to be confusion. While Christiane is not stylish, it's a strong, attractive, unusual-though-familiar name.
  4. Isaiah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "Salvation of the Lord"

    • Description:

      Isaiah, like brethren Isaac and Elijah, is a once neglected biblical name now firmly back in favor, already surpassing such long-popular Old Testament stalwarts as Aaron and Adam. Isaiah has ranked on the US Top 1000 list for boys every year but two, 1969 and 1970.
  5. Jude

    • Origin:

      Latin diminutive of Judah, Hebrew, Arabic

    • Meaning:

      "praised; to be generous, to be good to others"

    • Description:

      Jude is a modern star, maintaining a steady level of popularity -- but not TOO much popularity, in the US at least. Thank Jude Law and the great Lennon-McCartney song "Hey Jude", double-handedly responsible for propelling Jude up the charts.
  6. William

    • Origin:

      German

    • Meaning:

      "resolute protection"

    • Description:

      William is one of the most enduring of classic names for boys. It's also among the most popular boys' names, as American parents see it as being ideally conservative yet contemporary, and hands-down the most popular baby name beginning with W of all time.
  7. Zackery

    • Description:

      Zackery is a variant spelling of Zachary, a masculine name with Hebrew origins meaning 'God has remembered.' This alternate spelling emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought more distinctive versions of traditional names. While Zachary has been consistently popular since the 1970s, Zackery represents a more modern, phonetic approach to the classic name. The name carries biblical significance as Zacharias was the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament. Zackery peaked in usage during the 1990s but never achieved the same popularity as the traditional spelling. The name offers friendly nicknames like Zack or Zak while maintaining a full formal option. Its contemporary spelling adds a fresh touch to this timeless name.
