Nice boy names have a built-in charm that’s impossible not to love. They’re the quintessential boy-next-door names with so much more to offer than a great sound. From friendly meanings to great associations, they’re natural buddies to all. We gathered a collection for your browsing, but we also have some must-see monikers right here for you. Let’s meet them.
Our first stop in nice boy names is with boy-next-door picks. These are common cuties you’ve probably met before. You may even have a friend or two wearing them right now. Ryan is a favorite in this group. This “little king” has Irish roots and has been a long-time favorite with parents. He feels like an old friend and perfectly suits a little boy and an adult the same. Jake is another friendly face, meaning “supplanter.” He’s a short form of Jacob and a sweet spirit. Nickname-style choices like this are plentiful in this category, with Charlie, Mitt, and Jack also appearing. These dressed-down versions of more formal names are more approachable, giving them a friendly, “nice” air. Other boy-next-door boy names include Henry, Max, and Reid.
One of the greatest features of any name is its meaning, and this is no different with nice boy names. Asher‘s “happy and blessed” is a favorite, earning him a boost in popularity recently. This is also true with Felix, meaning “happy and lucky.” This Latin lovebug is rich in boyish energy with a splash of mischief. You can find a “friend” in Khalil or capture cuteness with Rami‘s “loving.” Check out Kenzo, Amias, and Koda for more nice meanings.
Popularity isn’t everyone’s favorite when naming, but don’t worry! Unique options are available in abundance with nice boy names. One of our favorites in both sound and meaning is Aldin. This English cutie means “old friend” which is about as nice as you can get. Another nice friend is Nehemiah, meaning “God comforts.” He’s similar in sound and vibe to more popular picks, yet far less common. More unique, nice picks include Zalman, Kareem, and Zaccai.
Meet the rest of our nice boy names and meanings on our complete list.
