If baby arrives into this world without a hair on its head, the name Ballard could be fitting. This masculine moniker derives from the Middle English surname, which originally came about from a nickname for a “bald-headed man.” You may think calling baby Ballard would be a curse, but if you take one look at Hollywood, you’ll find many a skinheaded success. Acting greats like Patrick Stewart, Stanley Tucci, and Vin Diesel are fan favorites on the silver screen. Embrace baby just the way they are, and name them Ballard.
