Top 1,000 Baby Boy Names in the U S.

Every year, the Office of National Statistics publishes a list of the most popular names in England and Wales for both girls and boys. Because of the time needed to collect and process all the data, each new list is always based on names registered up to 2 years ago. So, the the most recent list is based on names registered in 2022.

We have a huge collection of boy names with meanings and origin. What about the trends that are so new, they haven’t shown up on the SSA list yet? The top names for boys also include lots of gender-neutral names, meaning this roundup is a decent place to poke around for baby girl name inspiration, too. Cool boy names are found everywhere, but television and movies particularly harbor great options. You may recognize the edgy Jax and Nero from the show Sons of Anarchy and hipster picks like Theon and Ramsay from Game of Thrones. If you turn to the silver screen, you’ll find plenty of contenders like Dashiell, Lucius, and Winston in The Incredibles 2.

From shorter names to sweeter sounding monikers, here are some of the cutest yet unusual boy names. Also, discover our list of cultural heritage baby girl names which offer rich inspiration. Our Korean girl names list contains a mix of two-syllable style names, Italian girls names evoke charm and romance, and Japanese girl names incorporate culture and history. According to the Social Security Administration, these are the most popular names for baby boys in the United States. And while no one wants to be wind up with baby-name regret (or with a name your child will want to change later on), it’s opened up a lot of possibilities.

Scotland’s National Records of Scotland and Northern Ireland’s Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency also each release their own list every year, gathered in the same way. Baby boy name origins are an excellent way to search our full list of boys names. Many parents choose to honor their family’s heritage by choosing a baby name from the same source, others just love the style of boy names from a certain language or culture. Our detailed lists of boys’ names organized by origin are the perfect starting point.

We’ve also got lists of unique, unusual, and rare boy names that can help you search for the perfect name for your baby son. Every year, the SSA compiles a list of the most popular baby names based on social security card applications. This year, familiar favorites continue to dominate the top spots. Names like Liam, Noah, and Oliver have maintained their strong presence. These names are not only trendy but have stood the test of time, appealing to parents across various cultures and regions. Discover the top 1,000 baby names for boys in 2024, the most common boys’ names, and which boy names are trending based on the latest report from the Social Security Administration.
