Kaylee

American English · “A modern American coinage, most likely a blend of Kay (from the Greek Aikaterine or from the name of the letter K) and Lee (from Old English leah, "meadow" or "clearing"), though it is also considered a variant of the Scottish Gaelic ceilidh, a lively communal dance and gathering. The name emerged in the late 20th century and rapidly became popular in the United States in the 1990s and 2000s.”

Braxton

“An English surname derived from a place name — Bracca's tun in Old English, meaning "Bracca's settlement" or "farmstead," where Bracca is a personal name possibly from an Old Norse root. It transferred to use as a given name in the United States, particularly in the South, during the 19th and 20th centuries. General Braxton Bragg, a Confederate commander, made the name broadly known in American history.”

Dean

“From the Old English denu, meaning "valley," referring to someone who lived in or near a valley. It was also an occupational surname denoting a dean — an ecclesiastical or academic official — from the Old French doyen and Latin decanus, "head of ten." As a given name it became popular in America during the 20th century, partly through the fame of actor James Dean.”

Ashton

“From an Old English place name and surname meaning "ash tree settlement" — from æsc ("ash tree") and tun ("settlement," "enclosure," or "town"). Ashton was in use as a surname in England from the medieval period and transferred to given-name use in the English-speaking world, gaining considerable popularity in the United States and Australia from the 1990s onward.”

Brandon

“From the Old English Brūndūn or the Old Irish Breandán, both associated with place names meaning "hill covered with broom" (from Old English brom, "broom plant," and dun, "hill"). The Irish form Breandán was borne by Saint Brendan the Navigator, the 6th-century monk famous for his legendary Atlantic voyage. Brandon also developed as an English surname before becoming a given name in the 19th century.”

Darwin

“From the Old English personal name Deorwine, composed of deor meaning "dear" or "beloved" and wine meaning "friend". It is also associated with the Anglo-Saxon place-name tradition. The name gained global recognition through the naturalist Charles Darwin, lending it associations with science, inquiry, and evolutionary thought.”

Twila

“Possibly from the English twilight, from the Old English twi- (two, between) combined with light — the half-light between day and night. Alternatively it may be an invented American name or a form of Twyla, which has uncertain origins. Twila emerged as a given name in the American South and Midwest in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.”
