Crosby

Crosby is an English surname-turned-first-name that feels familiar yet fresh. The name conjures images of a quaint village setting, as it historically refers to places that were characterized by crosses or cross-roads in old England. It's gained some modern recognizability, thanks to singer Bing Crosby and the character Crosby Braverman from the TV show 'Parenthood'. With its playful yet strong sound, Crosby is becoming a trendy option for parents who like surname names. It doesn't have any traditional nicknames, but its two-syllable rhythm stands strong on its own.
