Sawyer

Pronunciation: SOY-er (key)

Commentary on the name Sawyer:

In form, Sawyer fits with preppy surnames like Parker and Spencer, but its spirit is freer. The immortal Tom Sawyer lends the name a warm heart and an eye for mischief. This name was something of a hidden treasure for years, but a character on the tv series "Lost" raised its profile.

From The Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg. Buy the book
