Roger
German, "famous warrior"

April 18 2026 marks the 73rd anniversary of the character Roger the Dodger appearing in the long running British comic, The Beano. The date is also used as the character’s birthday, though he remains eternally ten.

Always “dodging” his way out of anything he doesn’t want to do — but often making more work for himself in the process — he was a favorite character growing up. His own name may have been partly inspired by Dickens’ Artful Dodger, while the UK biscuits, Jammie Dodgers, take their name from the Beano character.

But why celebrate Roger as a name?

Out of style in the UK since the 80s and lingering at the latter end of the US charts, Roger is a blend of clunky and cozy, strong and charming: grandpa-vibes, though for me at least, it borrows a touch of mischief and savviness from the character.

In tune with the likes of Wilfred, Wilbur, Artie, and Sidney, Roger could have the nicknames Rodge, Dodge, or maybe even Rocky and Rory.

Keats
English, “kite (bird)”

Best associated with the Romantic poet, John Keats, this surname-style name is sleek and simple with plenty of potential as a given name. Similar in sound to rising star Kit, it also has that cool -s ending of Hayes, Banks, and Brooks. And while it is a very rare choice (used around 80 times in the US, since the 1880s), it’s easily grounded by the familiarity of Keaton which ranks in the Top 1000.

Keats also has an appealing nature connection via its bird-of-prey meaning, and as mentioned above, it’s literary inspired too. It reminds me of several of my favorite poems, including “When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be” and “On the Grasshopper and Cricket”.

Leonie
Latin, "lion"

Leonie is one of the many lion-related names finding favor right now, with Leo at the lead. While familiar in the US, Leonie still feels like a quintessentially European name, perhaps because of confusion about how it’s pronounced.

Pronunciation is pretty much the same across European languages and cultures: It’s LAY-oh-nee, with the same rhythm as deity or peony. Still, many Americans will say lee-OH-nee.

European immigrants may have made Leonie a Top 1000 name in the US in the late 1800s, but it dropped off the charts more than a century ago and only in the past decade has been drifting upward again.

Justice
English word name, "the quality of being fair, just, and impartial"
Grace
Apr 29



READ IN APP


A sleek and solid word name, Justice feels both modern and ancient, reminiscent of established choices like Justus and Constance, but also fresh like Ledger and True. Ranking just outside the US Top 1000, it is a gender neutral option that works as a secular virtue name promoting fairness and equity — and as a distinguished occupational name too.
