Kurt

Kurt is a straightforward and masculine name with German origins, meaning 'bold counselor'. It was quite popular in the mid-20th century in the United States thanks in part to figures like Kurt Vonnegut, the renowned American author. While its popularity has seen a decline, Kurt retains a classic charm, appealing to those who prefer a name with a solid, no-nonsense vibe. Short and to the point, it doesn't lend itself to many nicknames, but it pairs well with both traditional and modern middle names.
