Short form of Vincent, LatinMeaning:
"conquering"Description:
Vince is not a short form that often stands alone on the birth certificate, the way Jack or even Joe does, but it has certain credibility as the name always used for football great Vince Lombardi. And as a diminutive for Vincent, it's a far sight better than Vinnie or Vinny or even Vin.
- Aire

Word nameMeaning:

Aire is a bygone spelling of "air", now reserved for poetic uses and in Kylie Jenner's case, baby names. Jenner originally announced her son's name to be Wolf, but quickly changed her mind and left the public in the dark. Weeks before his first birthday, she revealed her son's new name to be Aire.

- Kyrie
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"Lord"Description:
Kyrie may be a name of God used widely in the ancient church refrain Kyrie Elieson, or Lord, have mercy, but it's rising in popularity for boys in the US on the strength of basketball star Kyrie Irving. Irving pronounces the first syllable of Kyrie to rhyme with my, whereas with the religious word it rhymes with fear.
- Wylie
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"from Wylye"Description:
Wylie is a friendly, nonchalant rodeo name with an almost irresistible charm; parents may pick up on its pleasant similarity to the more popular, unisex Riley. Although more masculine, we see Wylie as working as well for boys and girls (Richard Anderson used it for his daughter in 1999). Wylie (or the interchangeable Wiley) can also be an original and authentic way to honor an ancestral William. We don't, however, recommend you spell the name the way Corey Parker did: Wylei. Why lay?
- Case
Origin:
Word nameDescription:
A brisk and unconventional name that could be a style stand-in for confederates Casey, Chase, Cale, and Cade.
- Terrence
Origin:
Spelling variation of TerenceDescription:
In the US, this variation is more popular than the original. Terrence has been in the US Top 1000 since 1920, but Terence has been left behind. Alternate spelling Terrance is the most popular iteration of the name.
- Eddie
Origin:
Diminutive of Edward et alMeaning:
"wealthy"Description:
Most parents today call their Edwards Edward -- and we tend to think that's the right call. But it's worth noting that Eddie has been in the Top 1000 every year since records began in 1880; indeed, it was a mainstay on the Top 100 through the 1950s.
- Joe
Origin:
Diminutive of JosephMeaning:
"Jehovah increases"Description:
Joe is still the ultimate good-guy name, not at all diminished by its longevity or popularity or its everyman rep as Regular Joe, Cowboy Joe, G.I. Joe, Joe Exotic, Joe Blow, Joe Millionaire, Average Joe — and now President Joe (Biden).
- Halle
Origin:
Norse, diminutive of HaraldDescription:
Popular in the Scandinavian countries, but in this country it would surely bring to mind the very feminine Halle Berry.
- Alphonse
Origin:
French from GermanMeaning:
"noble, ready for battle"Description:
Rarely used, and for good reason. Alonzo is a preferable choice.
- Zade
Origin:
Modern invented name or variation of Zayd, ArabicMeaning:
"increase, growth"Description:
You might think of this as the zesty brother of Cade and Slade. Or Zade might appeal to you as an anglicized spelling of the Arabic Zayd or Zaid, the name of an enslaved man that Muhammad adopted as his son.
- Devere
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"of the fishing place"Description:
An original choice for a fisherman's child.
- Emre
Origin:
TurkishMeaning:
"friend"Description:
This Turkish name meaning "friend" should be very useable outside Turkey, given that it is pronounced just as it is spelled. Famous men named Emre include Emre Can, a chess grandmaster, and Emre Sahin, the director.
- Indie
Description:
Variant spelling of Indy
- Zayne
Origin:
Spelling variation of Zayn or ZaneDescription:
Zayne, Zayn, Zane and Zain are all enjoying tremendous popularity. While all the names sound the same, Zane is actually a variation of John via Shane, while Zayn and the others are rooted in the Arabic culture and mean grace or beauty. Zane is highest on the US popularity list, though the fame of former One Direction member Zayn Malik has narrowed the gap.
- Dove
Origin:
Color and nature nameMeaning:
"dove, a bird"Description:
Subtle but clear unisex way to signal peace, especially in middle place.
