As modern parents, we want names that are unique, meaningful, and timeless, while still feeling fresh and trendy.

From modern favorites to nature-inspired names, strong classic names, and meaningful choices from around the world—you’ll find inspiration that speaks to your heart.

How to Pick a Baby Boy Name You’ll Love

Some main points to take into account before sinking into the list are:

• Say it out loud. Is it the name of your last name that flows?

• Think about meaning. Would you want your child to be named so? Would it make you happy?

• Consider longevity. But will it be right when your son is 20 and 30 and 50?

• Check uniqueness vs. usability. An unusual name is great, but it must not be hard to spell or pronounce.

Mom tip: Choose a shortlist of those you like and spend a week with them. It is sometimes the name that you continue thinking about.
