Hope it helps.
Reply:Tyler. In the 1980s, Tyler rose out of nowhere to become one of the most popular baby boy names in the United States. It peaked at #5 in 1993 and 1994, and has fallen just a bit-- to #18 in 2006. With the exception of Ryan, Tyler remains the king of the last-name-turned-first-name trend, although Logan is an impending usurper. Tyler is an occupational name that simply means "one who works with roof tiles."





Taylor, which a decade ago was popular for both boy's and girls, has fallen to #222 for boys. Tyler has evolved as the boy's version of the name, and Taylor the girl's.





Thomas. A top 10 name during the Baby Boom, this classic name remains popular-- it ranked at #51 in 2006. As stand-alone names, Tommy and Tom were commonly given to boys during the Baby Boom years (when casual names were favored). Thomas comes from an Aramaic name that means "twin," so if you're having multiples, this might be a good choice.





Tristan. Two decades ago, Tristan was only ranked at #244, but in 2006 it was at #86, and climbing. The meaning of this name is disputed, but it comes from the tragic Celtic love story Tristan and Isolde.





Timothy. Timothy has always been the somewhat less popular brother to Thomas. It ranked at #94 in 2006, and has been falling. Like Thomas, Timothy is a New Testament name, and it means "God's honor."








Trevor. From the Welsh, "great settlement."


Travis. From Old French, "to cross over."


Tanner. An occupation name, "leather maker."


Tucker. An occupation name, "garment maker."


Tyson. From the Old French, "high spirited."


Trenton or Trent. From an English place name.


Troy. From the Irish Gaelic, "foot soldier."


Trey. An English name meaning "three."


Trace. From the Irish Gaelic, "warlike."





Theodore. This name was somewhat popular in the early twentieth century (in the days of President Theodore Roosevelt), but isn't used much today. Snatch it up if you like old-fashioned names but want something less popular than Thomas or Timothy. Theodore originates from the Greek and has the same meaning of the female name Dorothy (which is its invert)-- "God's gift."





Todd. Todd's fall from popularity was swift, painful, and mysterious. Ranked at #28 in 1970, it was all the way down to #653 in 2006. Todd comes from a Middle English name that means "fox."





Truman. Here's a last-name-turned-first-name that hasn't become trendy. Truman comes from an Old English name that means "trusted man."





Tobias %26amp; Toby. Because it's old-fashioned and Hebrew, Tobias sounds like it should be trendy, but it's not-- so snatch it up if you like names like Caleb and Ethan but want something unusual. Toby works as a nickname or a stand-alone name. Tobias comes from a Hebrew name that means "God is good."





Talan. Talan may be one of those names that comes out of nowhere and becomes trendy quickly. Talan debuted on the U.S. popularity charts in 2005 at #540, and then rose to #309 in 2006. It's the name of a character on Laguna Beach, which probably explains its origins.





Tate. Here's a short and more gentle alternative to "manly" names like





Travis and Trey. The meaning of Tate is disputed, but it has both Old English and Scandinavian origins.





Terrence %26amp; Terry. Casual and androgynous, Terry was trendy during the Baby Boom and through the 1970s, but it's fairly common today. Terrance, the less common longer version, was a comic playwright in ancient Rome.





Tyrone. Previously a popular name among African Americans, Tyrone isn't used as much anymore. Tyrone originates from a Gaelic place name.
