Some of the most amazing baby boy names are long-time classics. These picks are so great that they’re used generation after generation and never seem dated. This includes Alexander, an epic Greek name meaning “defender of man.” Andrew is another, meaning “manly and powerful.” There’s also James, an English form of Jacob meaning “supplanter.” Nicholas, Patrick, and William are other amazing boy names that fall into classic territory.

It’s no surprise that awesome boy names are often popular. Noah is a modern powerhouse on the charts, and with his sweet sound and meaning “to rest,” we see why. The gentle Oliver has also seen a recent spike in use. Meaning “olive tree,” this adorable name is rooted in Latin but carries English vibes, giving him a polished feel. You might also love Benjamin, a nickname-rich name meaning “my favorite son.”

Amazing boy names can also be rare, like Constantine. A Latin name, he has a strong sound and rich history, making him an epic pick. Similarly, there’s Lorenzo, an Italian variant of Laurence meaning “laurel.” Dakarai isn’t super common stateside, but with his meaning of “rejoice,” he’s an awesome pick. See Adriel, Khalil, and Pierson for more rare amazing baby boy names.

When browsing names, don’t forget to check out their meanings. Meanings often serve as a tipping point for parents, making a name click into place as the one perfect for their child. Some are lighthearted like Isaac’s “he will laugh,” while others are serious like Cairo’s “victorious.” A doctor might enjoy Jason’s meaning “to heal,” while a little one who’s overcome adversity may perfectly fit Kamau’s “quiet warrior.” One of the most epic meanings we’ve come across is Amadeus’ “love of God.”

We hope you find the perfect pick in our collection of amazing boy names.
