              "one who hunts"

            • Description:

              Hunter has been dropping a bit for the past few years but is still one of the leaders of a distinctive band of boys' names that combines macho imagery (Hunter, Austin, Harley) with a softened masculinity.

            • Harita
              • Irvin

                • Origin:

                  Scottish

                  "handsome, fair of face"

                • Description:

                  Irvin is an Old Man name that has an uncertain future. Losing the final g in Irving makes the name slightly less dated -- but just slightly. There's something about the 'erv' sound that makes Irvin and brothers feel unappealing.
              • Irwyn

                • Description:

                  Irwyn is a masculine name with Celtic and Old English influences. It likely derives from elements meaning 'fair,' 'white,' or 'fresh water' in Welsh traditions, or may be related to the Old English name Irwin, meaning 'boar friend' or 'sea friend.' The unique spelling with a 'y' gives it a distinctive Welsh character. Irwyn projects an image of strength tempered with wisdom, perhaps evoking images of clear streams or noble warriors from Celtic legends. The name remains uncommon in contemporary usage, making it an option for parents seeking something traditional yet distinctive. Its brevity and strong consonants give it a dignified, classic quality while its rarity ensures individuality.

              • Ivy

                • Origin:

                  Botanical name

                • Description:
