Boy
Garland
Garland is a boy's name meaning "Wreath of flowers; also land of spears (surname)". It was at its most popular in the 1920s and is rarely chosen now. As things stand now, it is a distinctive, less common pick. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
