"principal; bird"Description:
Bird names have taken flight, and Cardinal is a new addition recently used by Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden for their son. The red bird was named for the color of the robes worn by the religious cardinals.
- Evermore
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"always"Description:
Inspired by Taylor Swift's 2020 album Evermore, seven sets of parents chose this name for their daughters in 2022. With a poetic meaning of "forever" or "always", this is one that we could see gaining traction outside of the Swiftiverse. Accessible nicknames Ever and Evie are always an option if Evermore feels too bold for everyday use.

Word name or spelling variation of Om, SanskritMeaning:
"creation"Description:
Ohm, chosen by actress Hilary Swank for her son, twin of sister Aya, is a unit of electrical resistance named for 19th-century physicist Georg Ohm.
- Raegan
Origin:
Spelling variation of Reagan, IrishMeaning:
"little king"Description:
There were only ten baby boys named Raegan last year....and 1000 baby girls. But there's no reason this Irish surname name, a variation of the more popular and Presidential Reagan, can work equally well for all genders.
- Arwel
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"prominent"Description:
Arwel is well-known in Wales from figures such as composers Arwel Hughes and Owain Arwel Hughes, and Rugby players Arwel Thomas and Arwel Robson — though not especially popular for baby boys today. It has never been recorded in the American baby name charts, but would be an accessible Welsh heritage choice.

While the mythological goddess Venus was female, Venus could be in the running of the new wave of girl names being adopted for boys.
