Modern baby boy names carry contemporary cuteness and a futuristic feel. Babies with these names are going to change the world in ways we can’t begin to imagine. From popular princes to rare monikers, let’s get to know a few of these modern marvels.
Getting to know modern baby boy names starts with meeting today’s top trends. Every few years the “in” syllables and sounds switch up. Today’s “in” sounds include the tidal wave of -aiden names like Aiden, Brayden, and Kayden. The -son suffix is also in demand, including Grayson, Harrison, and Jameson. Meaning “son of,” this suffix is a great way to honor a father without repeating the exact name. An example is Anderson meaning “son of Andrew.” The -ton suffix is another popular pick, found in Braxton, Ashton, and Daxton. The polished syllable means “town.”
Modern baby boy names contain many created monikers made by parents mixing and matching popular sounds, syllables, and styles. Alexavier is a star of the trend in his combination of the classics Alexander and Xavier. Another is Xadrian, who’s an exotic twist on Adrian. Jaxton is a spinoff of Jackson, while Grayden is a twist on the modern favorite, Grayson. Other modern mixer names include Kayson, Jaylen, and Kashton.
Modern boy names often feature respellings for a more creative look on paper. Jaxon and Jaxson are used in place of the classic Jackson, while K is often used in place of Cs with names like Kairo, Kameron, and Kash. Alijah is another form of Elijah, while Karsyn kicks it up a notch as a form of Carson with his K start and Y inner styling. Another option is Kyng, a modern take on King.
Word names like King are also common in modern names. Unlike nature names of years past, today’s word names are bold with regal ties and power. Maverick is beloved for his spirit, while Crew is perfect for daddy’s little helper. Reign is ready to rule, while Legend is sure to make lasting memories.
