10 Letter Boy Names

  1. Thelonious

    • Origin:

      Latinized variation of German Tielo or Till

    • Meaning:

      "people"

    • Description:

      One of the coolest of names, thanks to legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Sphere Monk, who inherited this Latin-sounding German name from his father. It has been used very sparingly since the 1960's, with just a sprinkling of baby boys receiving the name each year, though it's one of the unique baby names we predict will get much less unique as more parents embrace its quirky charms.
  2. Montgomery

    • Origin:

      Norman

    • Meaning:

      "man power"

    • Description:

      This image of this distinguished Anglo-Scottish surname, drawn from the French place name of the ancient castle of Saint Foi de Montgomery, is rapidly shifting from fusty and formal to cool. And dashing short form Monty (or Monte) nudges it to cute.
  3. Maximilian

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "greatest"

    • Description:

      This name once seemed a bit grand and pompous for an American baby boy, but a significant number of parents are now preferring it as a substantial platform for the nickname Max, among them Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, who chose it for their twin son.
  4. Heathcliff

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "cliff near a heath"

    • Description:

      Heathcliff is the name of the original passionate macho hero of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, and also of the cartoon cat. It was chosen by fashionista Lucy Sykes for her son, and inspired the late Heath Ledger's name. But otherwise it's barely used, and perhaps a bit much of a namesake. For a modern boy we'd recommend Heath....or Cliff.
  5. Beauregard

    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful gaze"

    • Description:

      In the past this was seen as a jokey Southern colonel name, but we have heard of some parents considering it as a path to the likeable Beau.
  6. Willoughby

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "farm near the willows"

    • Description:

      Willoughby is an energetic last-name-first route to the popular short form Will, livelier than any of the two-syllable options. It could be picked up by parents attracted to the Willow sound for girls.
  7. Archimedes

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "master planner"

    • Description:

      Archimedes of Syracuse was a famous Ancient Greek thinker, especially in the fields of mathematics and sciences. He made important contributions to geometry and calculus. His name was a perfect choice, meaning "master planner" or "master thinker".

  16. Jose david

    • Description:

      Jose David combines two classic names with rich heritage. Jose, the Spanish form of Joseph, has Hebrew origins meaning 'God will add' or 'God will increase.' David, also Hebrew in origin, means 'beloved.' This compound name is particularly popular in Spanish-speaking communities, especially in Latin America and among Hispanic populations in the United States. The combination honors both Christian and Jewish traditions, as both names appear prominently in biblical texts. Jose David typically reflects a tradition of passing down family names while maintaining cultural connections. The name projects strength, dignity, and cultural pride, while offering the flexibility of friendly nicknames like 'JD' in casual settings.
