- Braiden
Origin:
Spelling variant of BraydenDescription:
Another of the many -aiden names. Several spellings have charted in the US Top 1000 in recent years, but now most of the -aidens are fading. Braiden is no exception, dropping down the charts each year since its peak at Number 468 in 2010.
- Benjen
Origin:
Modern invented nameDescription:
The Westerosi equivalent of Benjamin -- meaning it's a "Game of Thrones" name, for non-fans -- is most prominently borne in George R.R. Martin's novels by Benjen Stark, younger brother of Eddard Stark and a member of the Night's Watch.
- Aymer
- Erby
- Cheyne
- Bradan
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"salmon"Description:
This now-popular name has spawned several different spellings. Many parents choose it solely for its style and sound, but we like the history behind this version: the bradan feasa is the "Salmon of Knowledge" in the legend of Finn McCool.
- Brain
Origin:
Misspelling of BrianDescription:
Brain is not a name, it's a misspelling of the long-popular Brian. What's really astonishing is not that it made the Top 1000 at all but that it hung on there for 25 years, from 1965 through 1989, Brian's heyday. All we can say is: sad.
- Faffaelle
Origin:
Judeo-Italian, meaning unknownDescription:
Possibly a variation of Raffaelle — one that is very fun to say.
- Iddo
Origin:
Hebrew and ArabicMeaning:
"to evaporate and to be mighty"Description:
This Old Testament name, also translated as Ido, is well-used in the modern Middle East but nearly unknown in the US. The Biblical Iddo was a minor prophet who lived in the time of Solomon.
- Alverio
- Aineus
