Spin the wheel for boy names with their meanings — classic, trendy, nature-inspired, vintage, and short-and-sweet. Tap any name to see it up close, hold it on the wheel through the next spin, or heart it onto your Faves Board.
This wheel deals boy names across five styles so you can feel the differences side by side. Classics like Theodore, Henry, and William have carried everyone from presidents to grandpas; vintage picks like Amos, Otis, and Silas are shaking off the dust beautifully; nature names — River, Rowan, Forrest — bring the outdoors in; and the short-and-sweet shelf (Leo, Milo, Jude, Eli) proves a name doesn't need length to have weight. Every name carries its meaning with it, because "brave," "peaceful ruler," and "gift" are the kinds of things a boy gets told about himself at exactly the right moment.
Spin freely, heart generously. Debating the finalists out loud, first-middle-last, is the oldest and best test there is.
Liam, Noah, Oliver, Theodore, and Henry anchor recent U.S. lists, with vintage and nature names (Silas, Ezra, Rowan) rising. A top-ten name guarantees a name everyone can spell and pronounce; a name from further down the list guarantees he's likely the only one in his class. Neither is wrong — pick the trade-off your family prefers.
Very well. Leo, Jude, Eli, and Milo have centuries of history behind them, read clearly on everything from a jersey to a diploma, and pair easily with longer middle and last names. If your surname is long, a short first name often balances the full name best.
Yes — tap the heart on any name and it goes to your Faves Board, saved in your browser on this device (no account, nothing uploaded). The board is shared across all the NomNomma baby pages, so your girl, boy, unisex, and twin favorites collect in one place.
