Banjo:
Australian poet, journalist, and author Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson passed away on February 5, 1941 at 76 years old. Banjo wrote many ballads and poems detailing life in rural outback Australia.
Banjo was a lover of horses, and took his nickname from his favorite horse of the same name.
A bold and colorful choice as a given name, Australian actress Rachel Griffiths took the leap when she named her son Banjo Patrick back in 2003.
If Banjo as a first name is a touch too brave for your comfort, it packs a punch as a lively middle name. One of our very own Berries named their son Emerson Banjo, inspired by the renowned poet.
Some other quirky musical names for boys include Drummer, Tempo, Fifer, and Madrigal.
