Jazzy names for boys

Boy Names
1

I just came to the realization that a lot of the names on my boys list arr inspired by musicians from the 1920’s-1950’s like [name_m]Ira[/name_m] (Gershwin), [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (Armstrong), [name_m]Bing[/name_m] & [name_m]Crosby[/name_m], (Cab) [name_m]Calloway[/name_m]

Whay other cool/jazzy names from this period would fit with this list.

[name_m]Jarrett[/name_m] and [name_m]Ornette[/name_m] come to mind!

[name_f]Tatum[/name_f]
[name_m]Sonny[/name_m]
[name_m]Brubeck[/name_m] (I obviously like this one, having a [name_m]Beck[/name_m] myself :blush: )
[name_m]Elvin[/name_m]

[name_m]Django[/name_m]
Marsalis/Marcellus
[name_m]Wynton[/name_m]
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m]
