Knowing the hottest boy names can shape your favorites. For one, it may highlight choices you might’ve overlooked or worried were too “out there.” It can also highlight if your top pick is spiking in popularity. Not everyone wants something common, after all. Let’s run through today’s hot boy names together without further ado.
Of course, the top ten is home to the hottest boy names around, including the ever-popular Liam, Jack, and Noah. These four-letter favorites are similar despite having different origins. Each has a gentle sound and boyish spirit that helped catapult them to the top of the name charts. At the same time, formal finds like Theodore, Oliver, and Henry are having a major moment. They’re more complete in feel yet can be shortened to match a pint-sized pick’s energy with adorable nicknames like Teddy, Ollie, and Hank.
Some of today’s hottest boy names aren’t anywhere near the top of the charts, but they’re still making mega strides in popularity. Amiri is one we’d keep an eye on, as he leaped over 500 spots to join the Top 1000 in 2021. Meaning “prince,” he’s got ancient roots but feels super modern, so we’re not surprised that parents can’t get enough of him. Eliam is another name making leaps and bounds on the charts, rising over 400 spots between 2020 and 2021. This cutie is a cousin in appearance to the mega-popular Liam and William but remains uncommon overall. Other rare yet hot boy names include Colter, Ozzy, and Loyal.
If you study the charts, you can find hot male names that may soon make an appearance in the Top 100, like Luka, Ace, and Atlas. These currently fall into what we call “sweet spot” territory, meaning they’re known but not super common. Most people have heard of them and know how to say and spell them yet you won’t meet them in every classroom. Enzo is one we’re excited to see rising in popularity along with August, a strong name chosen by Princess Eugenie. Waylon is another we’re anticipating to join the Top 100. This old-school sweetheart has a cowboy air to him with so much charm. More hot boy names to watch are Theo, River, and Jasper.
Discover more of today’s hottest boy names on our list. You never know what all-star pick you’ll find!
