    • Ninian
      • Origin:

        Scottish and Irish, meaning unknown
      • Description:

        Ancient Irish saint's name that's unlikely, because of its similarity to "ninny," to join cousin Finian in popularity.
    • Zaden
      • Origin:

        Modern invented name
      • Description:

        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.
