Mugg /mə́g/ (male)

Though it sounds quite bland and simplistic to the untrained ear, Mugg consistently surprises with its versatility. By invoking both the reliable weight of your favourite coffee mug and the blurry menace of a mugshot, this delightful name allows itself room to be whatever your child makes of it. And if that isn’t enough to get your motor running, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s new baby boy was just christened ‘Mugg’ in a ceremony that took place yesterday afternoon. With so much going for it, Mugg is a choice many parents will be making in the coming years.

“Mugg from the mailroom is a real fox, and I heard he was shirtless at the company picnic!”
