Few monikers have the buttoned-up feel of preppy boy names. Boyish yet tailored, preppy baby boy names are always a hit on the name charts. Let’s get to know some of these cuties together.
Many of today’s most popular boy names are preppy in style, including the chart darlings Liam, Noah, and Oliver. Not far behind are Henry and Ethan, two time-tested cuties with heart. On the flip side, you can still find rare preppy names for boys, like Alton and Adler. We love Sutton as a less common alternative to Sawyer and Whitman as a rarer friend to Wyatt.
Surname monikers make up a good portion of preppy guy names. Posh, without trying too hard, these names age well. You’ll find the mega-popular Jackson, whose variants Jaxon, Jaxson, and Jaxen are also quite common, among these preppy boy names. Harrison is another beloved choice, chosen by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as a middle for their son, Archie. His close friend Anderson has news anchor ties, while Smith feels like a rocker choice. See Foster, Mitchell, and Spencer for more surname preppy boy names.
Other preppy baby boy names have occupational roots. The much-loved Cooper, Carter, and Parker fall into this category. You might recognize Mason, too, the mighty moniker who’s rocketed toward the top of the baby name charts in recent years. If you prefer less common occupational preppy baby names, see Baker, Porter, and Tanner.
You have plenty of style options amongst preppy boy names, including classic choices like Jonathan, Christopher, and George. These names have a timeless feel and have long since appeared on the baby names charts. Their popularity has risen and fallen, though they remain familiar faces throughout the years. You can also find trendy options, often serving as some of the preppiest boy names out there. These names see meteoric spikes in popularity and feel super contemporary. Trendy boy names that are preppy include followers of the -ayden trend, like Caden and Brayden. Wearers of the in-demand X sound also fit the role, like Maddox and Paxton.
Browse the rest of our preppy boy names list and see which cutie winds up on your favorites list.
