Brant

While some baby names are sweet through and through, others are armed with a bit more spice! One major contender is the boy's name Brant, which translates to "sword," "fiery torch," and "beacon" in German. Its fierce meaning makes it the perfect name for a busy munchkin with plenty to say. As they grow, they'll channel their namesake and face each obstacle head-on—unless broccoli is involved, of course! This bold choice fought for top baby name rankings during the 1970s along with its sibling, Brandt. Maybe your little warrior could spark its comeback! One notable person to share this name is actor Brant David Daugherty, who plays Noel in the hit teen drama Pretty Little Liars.
