  • Modern, distinctive, and undeniably cool, this name stands out in the best possible way. It's got edge without being harsh, uniqueness without being weird. Parents choosing this name are confident, forward-thinking individuals who aren't afraid to break from convention. The strong consonants give it a masculine quality, while the flowing middle vowel softens it just enough to maintain approachability. It's rare enough that your son will likely be the only one in his class, giving him a unique identity from day one. Yet it's not so unusual that people won't be able to pronounce or remember it—that's the sweet spot. The name has a contemporary feel that won't sound dated in twenty years. It suggests athleticism and strength, perhaps influenced by its similarity to other dynamic names. The single-syllable feel (though technically two syllables) makes it punchy and memorable. Nicknames aren't necessary, which many parents appreciate. It's a name for a boy who'll make his own path, who won't follow the crowd. For families seeking something fresh and current, something that signals individuality without alienating, this name delivers modern sophistication with staying power.
