It’s a beautiful and sunny Saturday! Between sipping my coffee, cloud-gazing, and listening to The Cure, I’m also thinking about names.
As it happens, it’s that time of the week when I post my weekly selections of rare names. So – here are some of the baby boys’ names in the 35-39 range! Remember, these are all actual first names and the number of times they were given, according to Social Security birth data for 2015.
- 39 times: Able, Banner, Boe, Breccan, Chadwick, Domani, Edgardo, Edric, Esau, Frederic, Lino, Neftali, Rye, Scotty, Sevyn, Walden, Yannick
- 38: Alexei, Branch, Elden, Elnathan, Fenton, Hatcher, Heber, Klaus, Makoa, Maxime, Nazareth, Raj, Renner, Riddick, Tallon, Wayland, Zacarias
- 37: Aldair, Champ, Chet, Christ, Cross, Cutler, Dana, Elimelech, Espen, Evans, Fausto, Hadley, Jeb, Khalif, Loukas, Maher, Pietro, Reeve, Saint, Whitaker
- 36: Alasdair, Alder, Arsen, Charbel, Clarke, Dmitry, Draco, Hogan, Hubert, Ilya, Kashmir, Keane, Kota, Lexington, Luisangel, Maximilliano, Mercer, Navy, Oakland, Qasim, Rainer, Ramone, Rook, Seeley, Urban, Yug, Zebulon, Zidane
- 35: Abdoulaye, Asiel, Avyukt, Brenner, Carlisle, Cashmere, Chael, Cloud, Colsen, Devonta, Divine, Eamonn, Elie, Eliud, Fulton, Garrick, Giuliano, Horacio, Kwame, Kylo, Osias, Quade, Quran, Rigo, Royale, Sasha, Tj
What do you think of these names? And does Boe remind anyone else of the Face of Boe from Doctor Who?

Very creative names! Some I had not heard of before. 37 babies names Christ, that is interesting.

Indeed! Jesus is a common name among Spanish-speaking populations, and Messiah is also popular. But, Christ is very unusual as a baby name.

Yes, I have known a few guys named Jesus, but I notice, it is always pronounced HAY-suse (English pronunciation.) I also thought Nazareth was interesting/ cool as a name. Keep up the great research! 🙂
