Wesley

Once a last name and place name, the masculine title Wesley depicts an idyllic scene of the sun setting above a field. Deriving from the Old English elements west and lēah, Wesley means "west clearing" or "west meadow," so it's a lovely way to encourage your little one to always move in the direction that feels right for them. In its earliest days as a first name, Wesley was often used to honor John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. Trekkies might also think of Star Trek: The Next Generation's boy wonder, Wesley Crusher. Today, Wesley is associated with a nickname that The Bump community is a big fan of. As one user, Shickmama, shares, "We're thinking about the name Wesley for our boy. I like that we could call him Wesley or Wes." Even if you do choose to call your Wesley Wes on occasion, you'll still love hearing their full title.
