Audie. George. Ulysses. These are good American military baby names, right? Maybe to those well-versed in the history of the United States, sure, but not to most. That’s probably why you don’t see a little Chesty running down your cul-de-sac or a mini Patton in your daughter’s kindergarten class (although Mr. Oswalt would have something to say).

But what are the best — the most popular — military-inspired baby names?

They’re below. So before you pull up another browser and sign onto Amazon to get your baby registry rolling, pick out a meaningful name for your little guy or gal, and make it as resounding and poignant as Mr. Key’s words from that one night in Baltimore all those years ago (the one about the banner).
