Faves

Cnut is a historical masculine name of Old Norse origin, most famously associated with King Cnut (or Canute) the Great, who ruled England, Denmark, and Norway in the 11th century. The name derives from the Old Norse 'Knútr,' meaning 'knot,' possibly symbolizing strength or unity. Various spellings include Canute, Knut, and Knud, with the latter forms more common in modern Scandinavian countries. The name fell out of common usage in England after the Norman Conquest but retained popularity in Denmark and Norway. Despite its historical significance, Cnut remains extremely rare as a given name in English-speaking countries, partly due to its unfortunate visual similarity to a vulgar English word.

Cnut

More grown up than Jamie, but never given to more than 13 baby girls in the US per year (and that back in 1968). Modern parents prefer Jamie, Jameson or even James itself, as Blake and Ryan Reynolds chose in 2014.
