Baylor

• It's the name of a character from Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood which is one of my favorite books.
• perhaps a good alternative to bailey. i like that it looks like and rhymes with taylor, but is much more uncommon than that name.

Baylor is most likely a form of Bailor, an English surname which may come from bailor "one who delivers goods". Alternately, it may be a form of the German surname Boehler, denoting someone who came from Boehle in Germany. Its current popularity is probably due to it sounding like a slightly fresher version of names that are beginning to go out of style, like Taylor and Bailey.
