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. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Beauregard
    • Origin:

      French
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful gaze"
    • Description:

  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. Ozymandias
    • Origin:

      Greek variant of Ramses, Egyptian
    • Meaning:

      "begotten by Ra, the Sun God"

  8. Theophilus

      Greek
    • Meaning:

    • 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".
  10. 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.

  11. Fitzgerald
    • Origin:

      Irish and Scottish
    • Meaning:

      "son of Gerald"

      English surname from place name

      "people living in the hamlet in the cleared area near the temple"
    • Description:

      Wellington is a tony-sounding English surname turned baby name by pregnancy guru Rosie Pope, who calls her son Wells for short. It's also the middle name of one of the Sweet Home sextuplets, Blu Wellington.
  13. Quintavius
    • Description:

      Quintavius is a masculine name with Latin origins, derived from the root 'quintus' meaning 'fifth.' Historically, Romans would name a fifth-born son Quintus, and Quintavius represents an elaborated form of this traditional naming pattern. The '-avius' suffix adds a classical, distinguished quality to the name. Quintavius remains quite rare in the United States, never having ranked in the top 1000 names. It shares similarities with names like Octavius (meaning eighth) while offering a distinctive alternative. The name carries a scholarly, classical impression while also functioning well in contemporary settings. Parents might choose Quintavius for its unique sound, classical roots, or to honor a fifth-born child or family member.

  14. Constantin
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "steadfast"
    • Description:

      More likely to be spelled Constantine, this was the name of the first Christian emperor of the Roman empire, as well as three Scottish kings. Previously thought of as too bulky and unwieldy a name for a modern child, these days it would be perfectly acceptable.
  15. Alessandro

      Italian variation of Alexander
    • Meaning:

      "defending men"
    • Description:

      For anyone seeking a more unusual version of Alexander, this is a real winner.

      Literary name, compound of Oliver and Alexander, Latin and Greek
    • Meaning:

      "olive tree and defending men"

  17. D'artagnan

  19. Jayden-lee
    • Description:

      Jayden Lee combines the popular modern first name Jayden with the classic middle name Lee.

It's believed to be a variant of Jaden or an invented name with appealing sounds.
