German, EnglishMeaning:
"son of Wolf"Description:
This common Jewish surname — originally spelled Volfson — works as a modern and on-trend segue to the cool nickname Wolf, if Wolfgang or Wolfric feel a bit too heavy. With animal names like Wolf (along with Bear and Fox) shooting up the charts in recent years, Wolfson has plenty of undiscovered potential. A famous bearer of the surname is British politician David Wolfson, who was knighted Baron Wolfson of Sunningdale.
- Braylon

Modern invented nameDescription:
Enough parents have appreciated this combinations of the sounds from Brayden and Jaylen to make it a widely used name. Its most noted bearer is former football player Braylon Edwards.
- Carroll
Origin:
Anglicized variation of Irish CearbhallMeaning:
"hacking with a weapon"Description:
This name was consistently in the boys' Top 200 until WW2. It's a name with so many dimensions to it: the hyper-masculine meaning, the surname-as-firstname trendiness, and the softer sound and connotation since homophone Carol was favoured in the 1940s and '50s for daughters. We think it's time for a resurgence of Carrolls amongst the boys.
- Adrián
Origin:
Spanish, Hungarian and Slovak form of AdrianMeaning:
"from Hadria"Description:
This form of Adrian ranks in the top 100 in Slovakia, Hungary, and Catalonia (Spain).
