Presley is Elvis in a dress. The surname, from the Old English for "priest's meadow," was barely used as a first name until Lisa Marie Presley put it quietly on the map, and American parents turned it into a girls' favorite in the 2000s and 2010s. It now sits firmly in the top 250 and continues to trend up. Two syllables, the soft S sliding into a long E, a Southern lilt built in. Presley is country radio and a fringed jacket and a grin. A name that rhymes with its own swagger, unapologetically cool.
