Boy Names Always in the Top 1000

Catalan variation of RaymondDescription:
The Latin Ramon has been in the U.S. Top 1000 since the beginning of baby-naming time, i.e. the past 130+ years. Ramon is the perfect blend of worldly and familiar, with a rocker edge via The Ramones. A cool name classic, if there ever was one.
- Bryant
Origin:
Variation of Brian, IrishMeaning:
"strong, virtuous, and honorable"Description:
Bryant has a longer history as a first name in the US than its father name Brian, ranking among the Top 1000 since the list began in 1880 while Brian only jumped on in 1925.
- Jefferson
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"son of Jeffrey"Description:
The name of the third U.S. President sounds, like Harrison and Jackson, more modern and stylish now than its root name. Used as a first name long before our surname-crazed era, Jefferson was most famously used as a first name by the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, which may justifiably make you not want to use it. Jefferson is the middle name of another Prez, William Clinton.
- Mathew
Origin:
Spelling variation of MatthewDescription:
There was a time in the early twentieth century when Matthew and Mathew were closer together in terms of popularity; today, Matthew is America's clear preference.
- Emanuel

Spelling variation of Emmanuel, HebrewMeaning:
"God is with us"Description:
Fewer letters does not always mean easier—the traditional spelling is the one most people will recognize.
