With everyone getting super creative with the monikers they choose for their latest additions, it can be challenging.
Yet there is an option, looking back in time.
Names, like trends in general, have a tendency to come back in fashion again if you leave it long enough, and these baby boy monikers, while not in the most popular lists right now, are bound for a comeback soon, we think.
Tell us – would you consider any of the following:
Denver
This is an old English and French name that means "green valley" or "from Anvers".
Hardy
The title is an English, French, and Scottish surname but can be used as a first name.
It appears that the oldest usage is from the Old French hardi meaning "bold, courageous" which itself comes from Old Frankish hardjan meaning "to make hard".
Orin
A variation of the Hebrew name Oren, which means "pine tree."
Conrad
It means, "brave counsel".
It's derived from the Old High German word kuoni, which translates to "brave," and rāt, meaning "counsel."
Edison
An Old English title that means "prosperity" and "wealth."
Rupert
The Old High German form of the name evolved from Germanic Hrothi, "fame, glory, renown, honour, godlike."
You could call him Ru for short!
Alton
An old English name that actually means "old town" – we reckon this one is a cool choice.
Wiley
This Scottish name is a take on the name William and something that you really don't hear every day.
Florian
Elegant and unusual, we are obsessed with this name.
Meaning, "Flower; Flourishing, blossoming" the title has Slavic, German, and Latin roots that has been a popular choice in various European countries
Alvin
Alvin comes from the Old English Ælfwine which means "friend of the elves."
