Here is some baby boy names starting with B.
I tried to take names from different cultures.
- B
- Babar
Origin:
UrduMeaning:
"tiger"Description:
It's most commonly associated with the French elephant, but Babar ironically means "tiger."
- Bacchus
Origin:
Roman mythology nameDescription:
Only if you're hoping for your son to become a wine-besotted poet. To the ancient Romans, Bacchus was the god of agriculture, wine and fertility.
- Bahram
Origin:
IranianMeaning:
"good-natured, nice"Description:
Interesting name with affable meaning.
- Baldwin
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"brave friend"Description:
One "bald" name we can get behind, thanks to pioneering African-American author James Baldwin – though the name is now also associated with the Baldwin brothers, particularly Alec.
- Bale
- Balin
Origin:
HindiMeaning:
"mighty sword"Description:
Unusual Asian option, and also the name of the Dwarf Lord from Lord of the Rings.
- Ballard
- Baltasar
- Baltazar
Origin:
Spanish (from Phoenecian)Meaning:
"Baal protects the King"Description:
This variation spelling of Balthasar is most often used in South America. Argentinian football star Joan Figallo recently called his son Baltazar.
- Bandit
Origin:
Word or occupational nameDescription:
We hesitate to call Bandit an occupational name, any more than Rogue or Vandal are occupational names, yet its use by one of the bandmembers of My Chemical Romance (for his daughter: we're not even going to go there) undoubtedly owes a debt to occupational cousins from Pilot to Parker. Recommended for use by rock stars with full-time nannies only.
- Banner
Origin:
English occupational nameMeaning:
"flag bearer"Description:
An undiscovered option among occupational names, Banner has never been used for more than 100 baby boys in a single year. But Banner has undeniable charm, much due to its associations with fêtes and phrases like "a banner year".
- Barak
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"lightning"Description:
An Old Testament warrior whose name still sounds tough.
- Barden
Origin:
English "barley valley"Meaning:
"barley valley"Description:
Rarely heard last-name-first choice with nice gardenlike feel.
- Bardo
Origin:
Short form of Bardolph or AboriginalMeaning:
"water"Description:
Bardo has a poetic beginning and upbeat ending, with roots in several diverse cultures. It may be most familiar today via George Saunders' novel Lincoln in the Bardo, which refers to the Tibetan Buddhist state of suspension between one life and the next, resembling the Christian idea of Limbo. Bardo is also an ancient saint's name: Saint Bardo was the eleventh century bishop of Mainz, in Germany. Actress Sandra Bullock chose Bardo as her son's middle.
- Bardolph
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"bright wolf"Description:
Bardolph is an antiquated German name that was used by Shakespeare for several minor characters. Short form Bardo, a Buddhist term for a Limbo-like state, would be more familiar and more fashionable today.
- Barnabas
Origin:
AramaicMeaning:
"son of consolation"Description:
Barnabas, whose birth name was Joseph, was one of the earliest Christian disciples in Jerusalem, who undertook missionary journeys with Paul the Apostle, His name is a bit Old World compared to the update Barnaby, but could gain some attention as boys' names ending in 's' are enjoying a comeback.
- Barnard
- Baron
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"a lord of the realm"Description:
If you're going to choose a noble word name, why not aim higher and pick Duke, Prince...or King. The Donald Trumps picked the Barron spelling for their little princeling.
- Barret
