Speaking of beloved American political figures, Eleanor Roosevelt was a pioneer for human rights, gender equality, and civil rights during her time in the White House and Roosevelt continued her activism up until her death in 1962.

A great name with a rich history for your future son.

Phoenix has plenty of patriotic inspiration behind it. The mythological Phoenix is known for being able to rise from the ashes, reborn. And America has seen its share of overcoming adversity. Phoenix is also the capital of Arizona which is home to the American landmark of the Grand Canyon. A gender-neutral option, Phoenix means "immortal bird" in Greek.

This is an obvious option, but a great one nonetheless. July is typically used as a girl's name and comes from the male version, Julius, which means "young at heart" in Greek. Did you know that's also where the month of July gets its name from, too?
