middle name Joseph
  1. Anderson

    • Origin:

      English from Scandinavian

    • Meaning:

      "son of Anders"

    • Description:

      Anderson shot up quite a bit on the popular names list in the 2000's, no doubt in large part due to the prominence of white-haired cable newsman Anderson Cooper. Perhaps surprisingly though, Anderson was even higher on the list in 1880. Actress Edie Falco named her son Anderson in 2005. Though there haven't been many first-named Anderson namesakes, there have been countless notables bearing the surname, including Hans Christian, Marian, Maxwell, Sherwood, Gillian, Laurie, and Pamela.
  2. Archer

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "bowman"

    • Description:

      Archer is an Anglo-Saxon surname that feels more modern than most because of its on-target occupational and Hunger Games associations. And it's a nice way to bypass the clunky Archibald to get to the cool nickname Archie.
  3. Brock

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "badger"

    • Description:

      Brock is a rock solid name, with a touch of preppy sophistication. It ranked solidly in the 200s-300s from 1975 until 2014, but has since tumbled a bit.
  4. Callum

    • Origin:

      Scottish form of Columba, Latin

    • Meaning:

      "dove"

    • Description:

      Callum, a charming Scottish name high on the list in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, is rising through the ranks in the US now too. And it comes complete with the easy nickname Cal.
  5. Carmel

    • Description:

      Carmel is a masculine name with rich biblical and geographical origins. Derived from Hebrew 'Karmel' meaning 'garden' or 'vineyard of God,' it refers to Mount Carmel in Israel, a significant location in biblical history. While Carmel is used for both genders, it has traditionally been more common for boys in countries with strong Catholic traditions, particularly in Ireland and Italy. The name evokes natural beauty and spiritual significance, with connections to the Carmelite religious order as well. As a male name, Carmel has maintained steady but modest usage, appreciated for its soft sound combined with historic strength. Its biblical roots appeal to religious families, while its natural connotations attract those seeking a name with depth and meaningful associations.

  6. Duke

    • Origin:

      English rank of nobility

    • Description:

      While John Wayne and Duke Ellington are worthy role models, the reason Duke is currently enjoying a revival and returned to the Top 1000 in 2013 as one of the year's fastest-rising boys’ names is more likely due to the name given to high-profile TV couple Giuliana and Bill Rancic. Christened Edward Duke, he has always been called by his middle name, just as Edward Duke Ellington was. Duke is just one of several aristocratic titles being increasingly used by ordinary citizens.
  7. Francis

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "Frenchman or free man"

    • Description:

      Since this was the name chosen by the current Roman Catholic pope, Francis has come into the spotlight.
  8. Grant

    • Origin:

      Scottish from French

    • Meaning:

      "large"

    • Description:

      One-time beach-boy compadre of Glenn, Greg, and Gary that originated as a nickname for a tall person, Grant has become a no-nonsense, career-oriented grown-up and one that is seeing new appreciation. It was chosen for his son by actor Morris Chestnut. It has cultural cred via artist Grant Wood, whose best known painting is 'American Gothic.'
  9. Gunnar

    • Origin:

      Scandinavian variation of Gunther

    • Meaning:

      "bold warrior"

    • Description:

      A key figure in Norse legend and a traditional Scandinavian favorite making inroads here.
  10. Joaquin

    • Origin:

      Spanish variation of Joachim

    • Meaning:

      "God will judge"

    • Description:

      Actor Joaquin Phoenix (brother of River, Rain, Liberty and Summer) highlighted this one, then Kelly Ripa began talking about younger son Joaquin on her daily TV show, and presto—it's now one of the hottest and most appealing multicultural baby boy names.
  11. Marco

    • Origin:

      Italian and Spanish form of Mark

    • Meaning:

      "warlike"

    • Description:

      Simple and universal, Marco is a Latin classic that would make a much livelier namesake for an Uncle Mark. It was used for her son by actress Jill Hennessy and goes well with surnames of any nationality.
  12. Reed

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "red-haired"

    • Description:

      A slim, elegant, silvery surname, Reed could be a banker or a sculptor, and therein lies the appeal of this simple yet distinctive name. The versatile Reed can be seen as a grass-like nature name and a musical name.
  13. Rock

    • Origin:

      Word name or diminutive of Rocco

    • Meaning:

      "rock or rest"

    • Description:

      Rock definitely has a macho image, if a somewhat caricatured one, ala The Rock. But with the rise of word names and also of tough guy names, Rock feels more plausible than it did a generation ago.
  14. Ryan

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "little king"

    • Description:

      Ryan’s use as a given name was inspired by the surname Ryan, a variation of the Irish O’Riain meaning "son of Rían." Rían is composed of the Irish-Gaelic elements rí, meaning "king" and an, a diminutive suffix. Ryan is considered a unisex name in the US, where variant spellings Ryann and Ryanne are also valid for girls.
