Choosing a name that other kids consider cool may be more important than one you think is cool yourself. So what are cool boy names from the point of view of other kids?

A name that is cool from a kid’s perspective — even if it is rare or unusual — can support a child in being accepted and well-liked by their peers. Some of the coolest boy names right now (as chosen by kids we polled!) include Wyatt and Mac.
