  1. Cabbot

    • Description:

      Cabbot is a masculine name of English origin, derived from the Old Norman 'Cabot' which was likely a nickname for someone with a round head, coming from the Latin 'caput' meaning 'head'. The name gained some recognition through historical figures like John Cabot, the 15th-century Italian explorer who sailed for England. While uncommon in modern usage, Cabbot offers a distinctive alternative to more popular names like Cabot or Abbott. The double 'b' spelling gives the name a unique touch while maintaining its classic English character. Cabbot conveys strength and historical significance but remains a rare choice for parents seeking something traditional yet distinctive.
  2. Cannon

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      Cannon sits amongst other weapon names like Colt, Pistol, Lance, and Remington. Definitely a name that offers bombast.
  3. Fischer

    • Origin:

      German surname

    • Meaning:

      "fisherman"

    • Description:

      This common German-Jewish surname is not as common as the streamlined, gentile Fisher, although we like this spelling just as much. Both variations peaked around 2015, when Fischer was given to about 100 baby boys, and Fisher 300.
  4. Jagger

    • Origin:

      English occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "carter"

    • Description:

      Jagger is a swaggering Rolling Stone of a name that's been picked up by a number of fellow celebs, including Lindsay Davenport and Brett Scallions--while Soleil Moon Frye pulled a gender switch when she bestowed it on her daughter. It's edgy with a touch of danger.
  5. Macon

    • Origin:

      French place-name

    • Description:

      What with Mason scooting up the charts, this attractive place-name, with its thick Georgia accent, could make a more distinctive alternative.
  6. 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.'
