Boy Names
Boy names or male names that you’ll find on this page are randomly chosen however a list of boy names are also organized from A to Z for your convenience as well. The list of names for boys below are in random order so you can see different kinds of names at once. This can help pin point which name resonates with you the most and which names are unique. If you are planning on choosing a name for a new baby boy for example you may want a boy name that is not only memorable but meaningful to you.
However some prefer to search for names by letter, especially if you do not yet know whether you’re having a boy (assuming that you are expecting a baby or planning on having one in the future).
Some families chose names for boys that start with the same letter. Other families have names that end with a particular sound such as -ie, -lyn, or -y. You will probably find those choices are more popular among twins but even having that option for the whole family to share makes it all the more special. Â
Feel free to check out our gender neutral page as well. There you can find options that work for both boy names and girl names alike.Â
Keep in mind that most of the pages on Namesbase are not from any one particular culture or ethnicity but should you feel inclined to search for one that belongs to a certain culture, the Namesbase website will be adding more features to tailor to your needs.Â
In the meantime, ENJOY!Â

Stuck? How to choose boy names for your new baby
As much as one may like to choose a name based off someone’s personality, it’s hard to choose one before your baby boy even arrives. So how do you choose the right boy name when you or your partner is expecting? Here are some tips that could help to narrow it down.
- Consider your last name – Last names are important because they provide that essential link to one’s past family ties and history. It is what distinguishes one person from another but that can also be applied for first names as well. It is common for people to name their child after a loved one that has played a significant role in their life and they want to honor or remember that person by naming their baby boy that after them. Some choose to use the same name and then put junior after it to distinguish them. Or you can choose a shorter version of the same name. You can also think about which area your last name originated from and choose a first name that is common in that country or that reflects the culture or it’s people. For example, if your family or country had gone through many hurdles to gain independence you can choose a name that resembles strength, hope, and power. Or the simple sound of the boy name can sound strong but can mean something else like peace, faith, or explorer. It’s a nice way to remember where you came from and give extra meaning to your baby boy name.
- Considering the birth location – Your boy name can reflect the landscape of where he is born in, giving the name that extra special attribute or significance attached. Is the area or country mountainous? busy and lively? calm and tranquil? Isolated and mysterious? This may appeal to nature lovers but can also be appealing for immigrants who started over in a country and have considered their new home a place they want to raise their kids in. What better way to commemorate the experience and the start of a new life.
