Wayne is a boy’s name that has stood the test of time. More dominant in English-speaking countries, Wayne is seen as a man of the people. Common in British working-class households, this historic and honorable name rolls off the tongue and looks good on the eye. Fans of soccer would immediately recognize this name from former England, Manchester United, and DC United striker, Wayne Rooney. Wazza, as he was nicknamed, burst onto the international scene at the age of 16 having honed his soccer skills on the terraced streets of Liverpool. For those looking for a strong boy’s name or perhaps want to pay homage to their British roots, there is no better choice than Wayne.
