With its rugged, country charm and confident sounds, Waylon is among the wave of Old Western names that parents are choosing. 
A relatively new entry to the US Top 100, this once uncommon choice has more than quadrupled in use over the last decade. Given to nearly 5000 boys each year, Waylon fits right in with its cowboyish partners, Weston, Wyatt, Walker, and Beau. 
The name has two distinct origins, and they equally suit the cool, outdoorsy vibe that Waylon gives off. 
When derived from the Old English “Wayland,” a place name and a surname, Waylon means “land by the road” – a meaning that perfectly lends itself to that Wild West imagery and to the trend of surnames as given names. 
It could also come from Old Norse and Germanic legends, in which “Weland” or “Vǫlundr” was a master blacksmith. His name means “craft and cunning” due to both his skills and his escape and revenge plot on a king who enslaved him. 
So why did Waylon ride onto the chants during the 2010’s and what has made it so popular? 
One answer lies with the influential country singer, Waylon Jennings, a pioneer of the outlaw movement, which broke country music free from the restrictions of the Nashville establishment. Jennings passed his name down to his son, Waylon “Shooter” Jennings, who still makes music today. 
The elder Waylon brought moderate attention to the name during the 70s and 80s, but it was after his death in 2002 that Waylon slowly, then more rapidly, climbed the charts. Now, it is a notable namesake for country music lovers – or for anyone honoring someone else who is. 
Alternative influences could be the character Waylon Smithers, from the popular cartoon “The Simpsons.” Obedient and loyal to the devious Mr. Burns, it is a memorable association for 90’s kids. 
There’s also Waylon Jones, better known as “Killer Croc”, a supervillain in the DC universe and featured in the hit 2016 movie, “Suicide Squad”, which might have brought the name to more parents’ minds. 
Or perhaps it’s Waylon’s own qualities that helped it to rise: a surname-style given name, adjacent to the -ayden trend but more established, a distinctive W initial, a cowboyish vibe, and close in sound to old favorites, like Jason, Nathan, and Graham. 
Currently only popular in the US, Waylon is still trending upwards, so if you want to get ahead of the trend or find something with <a href=“https://nameberry.com/list/448/cowboy-baby-names/all”> a similar feel </a>, just more obscure, you could try Acer, Whitten, Ranger, or Walton.

Wyatt has been hot, which is to say cool, for several years now. With its easy Wyatt Earpish cowboy charm, it's relaxed but still highly respectable. 
 Wyatt is a lot more classic a name than you might guess. It's one of those names that just misses ranking in the Top 1000 for its entire 140+ year history.
 
Wyatt was derived from the Medieval English name Wyot, itself a form of the given name Wigheard, with wig meaning "war" and heard, "brave." Wyot, along with variations Wiot and Gyot, were also used by the Normans as nicknames for names such as William. Wyatt became a patronymic surname later in the Middle Ages.
 
Wyatt got one of it first modern pushes when Peter Fonda played a Wyatt in the seminal film "Easy Rider. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell were among the first celebs to use Wyatt for their son born in 1986; more recently, singer Sheryl Crow chose it for her baby boy. Wyatt is also the name of the alter ego of a central character on the HBO show Westworld.
 
And even more recently, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher used the name for their baby daughter, perhaps pushing the name across the gender line, though it has a long way to go before it's considered unisex; it's still much more popular for boys than it is for girls. Does the baby name world have Wyette in its future?
 
Wyatt is also enjoying a wave of current popularity in Canada.
