"winding valley"Description:
Spelling Camden with a K makes it less of a place name—Camden is a downmarket city in New Jersey and an upmarket area of London—and more of a Kardashian-era confection, or maybe konfection. Both Kamden and Camden are in the Top 500 boys’ names.
- Thirteen

EnglishMeaning:
"thirteen"Description:
Unlucky number thirteen is now an edgy baby name option thanks to Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, who named their son Rocky Thirteen. They chose his one-of-a-kind middle name because "13 is just the greatest number of all time," according to Barker. Rocky is also the 13th Kardashian grandchild.
- Tilen
Origin:
Slovene variation of Giles, GreekMeaning:
"young goat"Description:
Tilen is the Slovene form of Giles — one of those names that feel ultra-British but is actually Greek in origin.
- Warden
- Zaden
Origin:
Modern invented nameDescription:
A nouveau member of the Aidan/Braden/Jaden group. Yet another variation on a too-trendy genre -- never the most original way to go, even if there aren't yet many Zadens on your block. Still, a Z initial always adds zest and this is a name many boys would love to have for their very own.

- Lorien

Literary nameDescription:
The name Lórien appears several times in Tolkien’s novels. It’s both a place name and a character name, and although the name may sound feminine due to the similarity with Lauren and Marien, Tolkein's character Lórien (Master of Visions and Dreams, also called Irmo) is male and the softness of the name will appeal to parents weary of macho names.

- Jorgen
Origin:
Danish variation of GeorgeDescription:
Anglicizing it to a phonetic pronunciation might make it easier.
- Kylen

Modern invented nameMeaning:
"Kyle's land; little Kyle"Description:

SwedishMeaning:
"a stone"Description:
Once a short form of names containing this syllable, it is now used on its own, though we'd prefer Sven.
