Parleley? Parsley? Parsnip? Nay, it's Parley! This masculine name is sure to turn heads. It's rooted in Old English and French and means "to speak" or "conference." Parley is a term used to signal a truce or pause, often to end an argument and negotiate peace. You may recall a funny moment in the first Pirates of the Caribbean film where Captain Jack Sparrow struggles to find the correct pronunciation during battle. Your Parley will surely take their name to heart and sharpen their debate skills. You can expect plenty of parleying at nap time!
