Few picks have as much built-in cool factor as musical names for boys. Full of energy and charisma, these musical monikers are beloved by parents far and wide. Let’s check out some highlights together.
First up in musical boy names are the most obvious ones: word names. These options scream music at a glance. Harper and Piper are the most well-known and double as occupational names, which are super popular right now. There’s also Banjo, as in the instrument. He’s relatively rare, but we think he’s super cool as a first or middle option. Other options include Lyric, Fife, and Octave.
Many musical baby boy names are more subtle in their musical ties, like Fender and Gibson. These are merely surnames to the casual ear, but these are super special to guitarists. Dorian is a musical mode that’s often tied to literature, though he sounds like many of today’s most common names, including Julian and Damian. Alto is a term for “high” in music, though he easily fits in beside Milo and Arlo. Our other picks for subtle picks are Key and Canon.
Another great source of musical boy names are musicians themselves. Many are obvious in their ties, like Jagger and Hendrix. Lennon is a favorite amongst Beatles fans, while Bowie is seeing a modern boom in popularity. Some are understated, like Simon for Simon & Garfunkel and Bruce for Bruce Springstein. You should check out Sinatra and Santana too.
Song titles are also ripe with musical names for boys. Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” is a prime example. Beatle lovers may fall for Jude, as in “Hey Jude.” There’s also “Alejandro” from Lady Gaga’s hit song. Less obvious picks include Jeremy, Julio, and Jack.
We hope you find a few musical names for boys on our list that rock your world.
