Camden is a surprise hit, probably as a result of some star baby cred: it has been chosen by no less than four celebrity parents since 2012. Gentle but not flimsy, Camden could be an updated spin on Cameron, Callum, or Caden.

Updates Ellis -- but also has a lot of feminine potential thanks to Allison/Ellie similarity.

Well used in England and Scotland since the fifties, the smooth and sophisticated Graham is catching on here.

Greyson and Grayson, nephews of Jason, are both on the fast track. Both variations have made their way all the way up to the Top 100 since 2016. Gray/Grey makes a nice nickname. The name of the child in The Nanny Diaries is Grayer, and actor Tyler Christopher opted for the unusual spelling of Greysun for his son. Some parents are considering Grayson -- or Gracen or Gracyn -- for girls as an androgynous spin on Grace.

Griffon is a masculine name derived from the mythological creature known as the griffin - a legendary beast with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The name has Greek origins and represents strength, vigilance, and majesty. Griffon is a variant spelling of Griffin or Gryphon, offering a slightly more distinctive look while maintaining the recognizable pronunciation. The name has medieval associations and evokes imagery of heraldry and nobility, as the griffin was a popular symbol in European coats of arms. In modern usage, Griffon appeals to parents seeking a name with mythological significance and powerful attributes. While less common than the Griffin spelling, Griffon has maintained steady if modest usage, appealing to those who appreciate its blend of ancient mystique and strong symbolism.
