Boys

  1. Markus
    • Origin:

      German, Scandinavian, and Finnish form of Mark
    • Description:

      The K may be trendy, but this spelling variation is much less popular than Marcus.
  2. Baron
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "a lord of the realm"
    • Description:

      If you're going to choose a noble word name, why not aim higher and pick Duke, Prince...or King. The Donald Trumps picked the Barron spelling for their little princeling.
  3. Jarvis

      English variation of Gervase, meaning unknown
    • Description:

      Jarvis, one of the original two-syllable nouveau boys' choices, is a saint's name with a certain retro charm and a nice quirky feel. Though Jarvis peaked in the late 1880s, he is beginning to sound fresh again.
