A very well put together list Boy names !
- Soren
Origin:
Danish, NorwegianMeaning:
"stern"Description:
This gentle Scandinavian name, soft and sensitive, is being discovered in a major way by parents in the US. It's most closely identified with the nineteenth century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, but there have been modern fictional Sorens as well, in The Matrix Reloaded and the book series Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Charlie and Lola, and Underworld.
- Spence
Origin:
Short form of SpencerDescription:
Spence is occasionally used as a name all on its own and it has more of a sense of completeness than many nickname-names.
- Stuart
Origin:
ScottishMeaning:
"steward"Description:
This ancient royal Scottish name had a brief vogue in midcentury America, but it would be far from a fresh choice for a baby boy now.
- Sully
Origin:
French or EnglishMeaning:
"stain or from the south meadow"Description:
A jaunty offshoot of Sullivan, Sully will be associated by kids with the beloved character in the Pixar animated film Monsters, Inc. Some notable real-life namesakes are French poet and essayist Sully Prudhomme, the heroic pilot "Sully" Sullenberger, and Sully Erna, lead vocalist of Godsmack.
- Taye
Origin:
African, EthiopianMeaning:
"he has been seen"Description:
Taye, also used as a short form of Taylor, began to stand on its own with the emergence of actor Taye (born Scott) Diggs.
- Teagan
Origin:
Irish or WelshMeaning:
"little poet or fair"Description:
Teagan is a cousin of trendy names Reagan and Keagan now given to girls about six times as often as boys. As an Irish name, it's a diminutive of the original Tadhg. Teagan may also be a variation of the Welsh Tegan, a saint's name that means fair.
- Thad
Origin:
Short form of Thaddeus or variation of TadDescription:
Thad is a tad too slight to stand alone as a name, though as a short form of the imposing Thaddeus it's as serviceable as Ted or Ed.
- Thorin
Origin:
Norse and ScandinavianMeaning:
"thunder or brave and daring"Description:
Some sources give Thorin as a variation of the thunder god name Thor, equivalent to Thoren, while others says it comes from the verb að þora, meaning "to dare." This is a dwarf's name that first appeared in the thirteenth century mythology compilation Prose Edda, which, along with the Poetic Edda, represents nearly all of pagan Scandinavian mythology. Tolkien later used the name for character Thorin II Oakenshield of The Hobbit.
- Thorne
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"thorn thicket"Description:
Rose and Briar are popular, and Hawthorn is cool – so why not the equally prickly Thorne? The E ending gives it a surnamey spin à la Hawthorne.
- Tiernan
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"little lord"Description:
Tiernan is the slightly edgier and sharper cousin of Kiernan. This is one Irish surname that is attractive but distinctive; Tierney is another, related, option.
- Tierney
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"descendant of a lord"Description:
Tierney is a Celtic surname with a definite Irish twinkle, a name just waiting to be discovered. Though now sometimes used for girls (in the US, not Ireland), as in jazz singer Tierney Sutton, it still has plenty of masculine punch.
- Tor
Origin:
Variation of Thor, also Hebrew for "Turtledove"Meaning:
"Turtledove"Description:
An interesting and attractive bicultural choice--the Hebrew version is used for babies born in spring, when turtledoves arrive--especially as a middle.
- Trace
Origin:
Diminutive of TracyDescription:
Undoubtedly inspired by country singer Trace Adkins, it has dropped in recent years.
- Vero
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"true"Description:
The o ending and the positive meaning in many languages makes this a winner, and with the feminine Vera making a surprise return, and the new love for the letter 'V', this becomes a name that has definite possibilities.
- Vireo
Origin:
Nature nameDescription:
A vireo is a small green bird with a song as melodic as this highly unusual name, but it does sound a touch viral.
- Virgil
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"staff bearer"Description:
The name of the greatest Roman poet and an early Irish saint who believed the earth was round, Virgil is heard most notably today as the name of designer Virgil Abloh of Off-White.
- Volker
- Wade
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"at the river crossing"Description:
Wade has never been outside the US Top 1000 for boys - there's a reason for that. It has a clean spelling, fresh sound and is neither too trendy (unlike Kade or Cade) or too old-school (like Richard or Albert). We think Wade is a winning name.
- Walker
Origin:
English occupational nameMeaning:
"cloth-walker"Description:
Walker is both a Waspy surname name—as in the W in George W. Bush—but it also has a gentle ambling quality and a creative connection to such greats as writer Walker Percy and photographer Walker Evans, whose father was also named Walker.
- Wallace
Origin:
ScottishMeaning:
"foreigner, stranger"Description:
Wallace is so square could almost be ripe for a turnaround, especially with the hipness imparted by the British Claymation series Wallace & Gromit. And Wally makes an adorable Leave it to Beaver retro-style nickname.
