One five-letter name, a quick suffix away from David, with two very different connotations. It's the name of a posh ski resort in Switzerland that hosts the illustrious World Economic Forum -- attended by tycoons, celebrities and heads of state -- each year. And of a trustworthy, salt-of-the-earth character in Game of Thrones, Davos Seaworth.

While presidential surnames as first names are much rarer today than they were in the early 20th century, our 46th President's last name joined the ranks of given names (for boys) in 2021. That year, 11 baby boys were named after President Joe Biden, but it did not make it into the charts in 2022.

An alternative to Sasha, another common Russian nickname for Aleksander.

A top name in Iceland, while its parent name Alvar, ranks highly in Sweden and Finland.

A unique natural-wonder option, conjuring up the beauty of the lake between California and Nevada that has become a popular tourist destination.

Cornish form of William

An Arabic name with Quranic connections -- it represents one of the essential qualities -- that would have no trouble assimilating. Sabira or Sabirah is a form used for girls, and Sabri can be used for either sex.

The cute short form gained prominence when it was used for young Prince William of England.
