Tony 
Greek, Latin, "Short for Anthony"
Perhaps the most iconic Tony of all time is Tony Manero, strutting down the streets of Brooklyn to a disco sound track in Saturday Night Fever. Other handsome Italian-American Tonys include crooner Tony Bennett and TV star Tony Danza, though the name fits just as easily on a crisply accented Brit, such as former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

You may find some surprises -- for example, who knew Jennifer was a boy's name? Because this feature uses actual Social Security data, it includes the human error that attends a large survey, but it still reliably reflects the patterns of naming fashion.

French, "Wide meadow; from St. Denis, France"
Isn't it amazing how one name can sound entirely different on two people? On a boy, Sydney comes off as an elderly gentleman with a bow tie, but on a girl, Sydney is chic, young, and ready to whup some bad-guy ass (thanks to Jennifer Garner on Alias). It is interesting to note that in the past 20 years, Sydney has replaced the similar but daintier Cindy in the popularity polls.

Denene at My Brown Baby: "Kids are experts at finding the hidden, and that little flimsy lock was no match for the wits of a curious preteen and her big brother. If we wanted to see it, it was going to get seen. But this? This I wasn't ready for." Updated Daily!
