Potential names for our son due end of May 2015.
  1. Carter

    • Origin:

      English occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "transporter of goods by cart"

    • Description:

      Carter has ranked in the Top 100 since the the turn of the millennium, but despite its recent popularity, it's not a trendy new name. In fact, Carter is one of those names that just misses ranking in the US Top 1000 for its entire 140+ year history.
  2. Jett

    • Origin:

      Mineral or word name

    • Description:

      Short, sharp, and cool, Jett is a contemporary choice that connotes both gemstones and jet engines. Rarely used before the 90s, John Travolta, and then George Lucas, helped to put the name on the map by choosing it for their sons.
  3. Kaine

    • Description:

      Kaine is a masculine name with multiple origins and meanings. In Celtic tradition, it's a variant of Kane or Keane, meaning 'warrior' or 'tribute.' It can also relate to the Hebrew name Cain, though without the biblical associations. As a modern name, Kaine gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries during the early 2000s, appreciated for its strong sound and contemporary feel. The name's distinctive spelling with the 'i' gives it a modern edge while maintaining its traditional roots. Kaine offers a powerful yet accessible option for parents seeking a name that sounds assertive and stylish without being overly common.

  4. Kyrie

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "Lord"

    • Description:

      Kyrie may be a name of God used widely in the ancient church refrain Kyrie Elieson, or Lord, have mercy, but it's rising in popularity for boys in the US on the strength of basketball star Kyrie Irving. Irving pronounces the first syllable of Kyrie to rhyme with my, whereas with the religious word it rhymes with fear.
  5. Michael

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "who is like God?"

    • Description:

      Michael was the Number 1 American boys' name for almost half a century. While Michael has moved out of the Top 10 baby boy names, it's still widely used.
  6. Pace

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      Calm, straightforward, patrician sounding: Pace is one new-style name that's well-grounded.
  7. Rico

    • Origin:

      Spanish, diminutive of Ricardo

    • Meaning:

      "dominant ruler"

    • Description:

      Consider this short form for your little Richard.
