Boys

  1. 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.
  2. Eliot
    • Origin:

      Variation of Elliot, English diminutive of Elias
    • Meaning:

      "Yahweh is God"

      Sleekened spelling.
  3. Markus
    • Origin:

      German, Scandinavian, and Finnish form of Mark

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

      French, Saint Léger
    • Description:

      Fervent fans of The Catcher in the Rye might want to consider this as a literary tribute. More mainstream alternative: Holden.
  5. Jarvis
    • Origin:

      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.
