13. Benjamin

This traditional biblical name meaning “son of the right hand” might have only broken the US top ten in 2015, but it has been a popular boys’ name in North America and Europe since the Protestant Reformation. Benjamin has held its number six spot in the charts since 2016. Just as sturdy as it is stylish, it has a host of friendly nicknames to choose from, including Ben, Benny, and Benji. Among the most famous bearers of the name is statesman, inventor, scientist, and philosopher Benjamin Franklin.
