- Raegan

Spelling variation of Reagan, IrishMeaning:
"little king"Description:

Arwel is well-known in Wales from figures such as composers Arwel Hughes and Owain Arwel Hughes, and Rugby players Arwel Thomas and Arwel Robson — though not especially popular for baby boys today. It has never been recorded in the American baby name charts, but would be an accessible Welsh heritage choice.

English diminutive of Henry or HaroldMeaning:
"estate ruler; army ruler"Description:
The old-school cool nickname Hap is a (mostly) bygone short form of classic H names for boys like Henry, Harold, and Harrison. Several notable Haps — including former New Jersey senator Hap Farley — were first nicknamed Happy, later shortened to Hap.
- Rebin

English word nameMeaning:
"always"Description:
Inspired by Taylor Swift's 2020 album Evermore, seven sets of parents chose this name for their daughters in 2022. With a poetic meaning of "forever" or "always", this is one that we could see gaining traction outside of the Swiftiverse. Accessible nicknames Ever and Evie are always an option if Evermore feels too bold for everyday use.

One of many beautiful international variations of the timeless Biblical Mary.
- Éanna
Origin:

Éanna is the modern Irish form of Old Irish Énna, which may derive from the word for bird, én. It was worn by several ancient kings, heroes and saints. Outside of Ireland, it is better known in its anglicized version, Enda, which also has the benefit of a more guessable pronunciation to non-Irish speakers. In its homeland, however, Éanna is rising and entered the Top 100 boy names in 2023.

"kid, young goat"Description:
This diminutive of Christopher has been occasionally used as a given name — along the lines of Guy, Junior, or Buddy.
