About this list
Boy names that start with U make for the ultimate unusual choice — U has been the least-used initial for boys for the past two decades!
Only two U-starting boy baby names currently rank in the US Top 1000: Uriel and Uriah. In England and Wales, four Arabic boy names starting with U make the Top 1000: Umar, Uriel, Usman, and Uzair
Along with the familiar Uriel and Umar, other great underused U baby boy names include Urban, Urso, Unwin, and Ulysses, as well as modern options like Upton, Usher, and Utah.
Despite its rarity as a first initial, "u" is our trendiest vowel sound of the moment.
