Tanner

In 2019 Tanner ranked as the 161st most popular baby boy name.
Tate
Tate is a simple and sweet modern name. In 2019 Tate ranked as the 433rd most popular name, making it a somewhat unique baby boy name.
Tate would also make a great choice for parents who want a one-syllable middle name that is a little off the beaten path.
Teague
Teague is a Gaelic name meaning “poet” and is pronounced as Teeg. The name Teague conjures up images of a roguish little boy with an Irish accent.
It’s an interesting Irish choice for parents looking to honor their roots with something unusual; Teague has never been in the top 1,000 baby boy names.
Thaddeus
It may surprise parents to find that Thaddeus has been on the top 1,000 baby boy names list in the United States almost every year since 1880.
In 2019 it was nearly bumped off the list as it dropped to 955th on the charts. The nickname Tad is charming and Thaddeus is the lesser known Biblical name of Jude Thaddeus, one the twelve apostles.
Thaddeus would make a surprising and delightful choice for a baby boy today.
Theodore
Theodore is a fantastic and underused name. In 2019 it was ranked as the 295th most popular baby boy name.
Theodore has a varied background as it belonged to assorted characters both fictional and real such as Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Seuss Geisel “Dr. Seuss”, Theo Huxtable, and Theodore the chipmunk.
There could be nothing cuter than the nicknames Ted and Teddy.
Thomas
The name Thomas is classic, strong, and Biblical. It is unlikely to ever be out of style or seem out of place.
Many Thomases go by Tom or Tommy in their youth and sometimes into adulthood. In 2019 Thomas was the 52nd most popular boy name, its lowest ranking ever.
Timothy
In 2019 Timothy was the 108th most popular baby boy name, its lowest ranking since 1942.
Most boys named Timothy go by Timmy in their youth and Tim in adulthood, the full Timothy is rarely used.

It feels fresh and modern as long as the full name is used; Toby feels a little dated.
Travis

Trevor
Trevor is a Welsh name that means “large settlement”. It is also thought to be a Celtic name, and is also an Anglicization of the Irish surname Ó Treabhair, which actually means “descendant of Treabhar.”
From the mid to late 1960’s to the early 2000’s, it was a steady popular name, but it has slowly started to decline in name popularity over the last decade or so.
Tripp
This is a trendy name that has a French origin. In the early 2000’s it started climbing the boys name list and has stayed popular.
The name means “one who tripped”. But naming your son Tripp, doesn’t mean he’s going to be a klutz.
Truman
Truman is a great, underused Presidential name. In 2019 Truman barely made the top 1,000 at spot number 968 so it would make for an unusual name choice.
Tru makes an interesting nickname.

This name has never name the top 1,000, making it an unusual name for parents looking for an Irish name to honor their family roots.
Tyson
Tyson is a French masculine name that means “high-spirited.” It came from the French word tison which means “ember” or “firebrand.”
Tyson is a name that started gaining real traction in the 1960’s and has continued to be a popular name ever since.
