        Definite twenty-first- century possibilities, with its stylish K opening, strong first syllable, and softer second.
    • Snæþór
      • Origin:

        Icelandic from Norse
      • Meaning:

        "thunder snow"
    • Seanán
      • Origin:

        Irish diminutive of Sean
      • Description:

        This name of twenty early Irish saints sounds a little redundant.

        Polish variation of Brian, Irish
      • Meaning:

        "strong, virtuous, and honorable"
    • Berold

        English
      • Meaning:

        "bear rule"
      • Description:

        Berold is one of the more obscure boy names meaning bear, which also include Arthur, Orson, and (in a different vein) Teddy.

        • Elmore
          • Origin:

            English
          • Meaning:

            "moor with elm trees"
          • Description:

            Boys' names beginning with "El" were all the rage in the 1910s, but today Elmore - along with Elwin, Ellsworth and others - has barely been used for decades. It has literary connections through writer Elmore "Dutch" Leonard. More recently, several children's book characters have given the name a cuddly feel: Holly Hobbie's Elmore the Porcupine, and Elmore Green in Lauren Child's "The New Small Person".
        • Georgi
          • Origin:

            Russian variation of George
          • Description:

        • Darion
          • Izayah
            • Origin:

              Spelling variation of Isaiah

            • Description:

              A worthy namesake is the martyred saint Thomas a Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, whose story was the basis of the Anouilh play "Becket," which became a film starring Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole.

            • Description:

              Ephrem is a spelling variation of the Biblical Ephraim, most often used for an early saint, Ephrem the Syrian, who was a 4th century theologian. This makes a cool, religiously appropriate choice.
