A BUNCH OF HIPSTER COWBOYS

  1. Hawkeye
    • Hennessey
      • Hexum
        • Hightower
          • Hud
            • Idol
              • Igo
                • India
                  • Ingenuity
                    • Invicta
                      • Ixnay
                        • Jaxon
                          • Origin:

                            Spelling variation of Jackson
                          • Meaning:

                            "son of Jack"
                          • Description:

                            Jaxon has been mostly climbing in popularity since it entered the Top 1000 in 1997, proving that many parents have decided to rev up the cool factor of Jackson by giving it this streamlined spelling. (Though we still prefer the original.)
                        • Jed
                          • Origin:

                            Diminutive of Jedidiah
                          • Description:

                            Cowboyish short form that's both macho and cool. Got prime time exposure on The West Wing.
                        • Jem
                          • Origin:

                            Diminutive of James or Jeremiah
                          • Description:

                            This name of the ten-year-old boy in the much loved and acclaimed modern classic To Kill a Mockingbird could find favor along with that of the character's sister, Scout.
                        • Jim
                          • Origin:

                            English, diminutive of James
                          • Meaning:

                            "supplanter"
                          • Description:

                            Peaked in the 1940s, but still an amiable classic, a la Joe and Tom -- though rarely used on its own.
                        • Jock
                          • Origin:

                            Scottish variation of Jack
                          • Description:

                            This is a Scottish pet form of John, the equivalent of Jack in England. Has long been used as a generic name for a Scotsman, here it's a generic name for a--well--jock.
                        • Judson
                          • Origin:

                            English
                          • Meaning:

                            "son of Jordan"
                          • Description:

                            Judson remained in the US Top 1000 every year until it dropped off in 1987. In 2014, the named rejoined the list. With Hudson gaining in popularity, Judson—a possible alternative to Justin—could follow its path.
                        • Jules
                          • Origin:

                            French form of Latin Julius
                          • Meaning:

                            "youthful; soft, downy"
                          • Description:

                            Though Jules hasn't been on the US popularity list in fifty years, it is a current hit in its native France—where it's currently in the Top 10—and we can definitely see it making a comeback here, being far more romantic than, say, Jim.
