16-William
This name’s so ancient that its popularity definitely can’t be attributed to the current second-in-line to the English throne, but it can be attributed to a long tradition of people liking the classic and, dare we say, kingly sound of the name, which means “strong-willed warrior.”
But guys? The name has literally never been out of the top 20 in the U.S. – since the Social Security Administration began tracking name data, its lowest position was 20, in 1992 and 1995 – and we know it’s popular all over the world. We all know a Will, a Billy or a Bill. Don’t make your baby boy just another one.
And no, going with the sobriquet “Liam” doesn’t help. That derivation has been in the top 10 since 2012, and second only to “Noah” for the past three years running.
