1000 Most Popular Names for Your Baby Boy

Share with your friends 🥹!

Choosing a name for your newborn is an exciting – yet nerve-racking – responsibility for new parents.

There are various factors to consider in choosing or deciding whose name the baby will bear that getting a little bit of advice or tradition will be helpful for most families.

Before picking a name for your baby boy, here are some things to consider.

How Many Names Will He Have?

The United States of America holds a tradition of giving three names to a baby – the first name followed by a middle name and your family’s last name.

However, other less common traditions run in some families where a child carries two middle names or none.

Ultimately, deciding how many names your child should carry is up to you. Consider what the initials will spell out, whether it’s just one or more.

Whose Name Will He Share?

Many families share the tradition of naming their baby after a family member, but there are several ways to go about it.

A very common tradition held by most families is the senior or junior name sharing style where the child (usually the first son) shares an exact name – but differentiates with a “junior” – with a family member(usually the father).

Roman numerals(II, III, IV) also describe such designations when it goes beyond the original father and son.

Other less common traditions also exist where they carry different middle names but share one first name. However, the child is identified with the middle name to help tell them apart.

Another tradition entails using different names that are similar in pronunciation or meaning. You can also consider other options outside of the family.

Like naming your child after a popular person in society, such as musicians, actors, inspirational figures, or role models.

Considering Names that are Gender-Specific

Until the late 20th century, baby names were specifically boy or girl, with a few exceptions.

This trend has lost face in today’s society as gender-neutral names are becoming more popular among families.

You could opt for a traditionally female and male name or names that can be either or neither.

Before bestowing a name on your child, you should consider if the name has a history of being male or female only if it’s more gender fluid and if you have an issue with that.

Boys named James are easily identified as males, but boys named Jayden, Keegan, or Taylor may occasionally be mistaken as girls.

However, most people don’t see it as an issue, but you should consider it if it matters to you.

The Social Security Administration (SSA)

Each year, around Mother’s Day, the SSA publishes the list of most popular baby names from the previous year, from data retrieved from birth certificates.

Their database is a helpful resource for picking a name for your newborn. It records the most popular names each year from 1857 to date.

Here are the top 1000 popular boy names released by the Social Security Association for 2018, with Noah and Liam still holding the first two positions.

Oliver continued to move up the ladder from ninth to fifth, Jacob has lost a spot in the top ten as Lucas rose to eighth from eleventh.

Archie made it’s debut at 1992 and is thought to increase in popularity in the coming years as it now graces royal baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Here is a complete list of 2018’s top 1,000 baby boy names.
