Tennyson

Tennyson is a boy's name of British origin. As it means "son of Dennis," this old English name is a lovely way to pay homage to a family member. Tennyson also offers inspiration for cute nicknames such as Tenny and Sonny. If poetry is your passion, you may recognize this name as the surname of the English poet Alfred Tennyson. Perhaps this is what actor Russell Crowe had in mind when he named his son Tennyson in 2006. Whatever you take from it, Tennyson is a distinctively charming name that is sure to stand out.
