My long list of favourite boys' names combos (just firsts), in order of preference, although it changes so much from day to day it's probably not very accurate (maybe the top 10/20?). Guilty pleasures are in brackets ().
- ( Alchemy )
- ( Archie )
- ( Arthur )
- ( Benedict )
- ( Charlie )
- ( Icarus )
- ( Kai )
- ( Mordred )
- ( Noah )
- ( Sherlock )
- Alaric
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"all-powerful ruler"Description:
Alaric is an ancient regal name that sounds modern enough to be considered. Alaric was a traditional name for the kings of the Ostrogoths, the most famous of whom was Alaric I, the King of the West Goths who sacked Rome in 410.
- Alasdair
Origin:
Scottish variation of AlexanderMeaning:
"defending men"Description:
In this country, more recognizable with the Alistair spelling.
- Albert
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"noble, bright"Description:
Albert has acquired a new gloss as one of the top royal baby boy names, a considerable upgrade from its serious, studious image (think Einstein, Schweitzer).
- Albie
Origin:
Diminutive of Albert, Alban or AlbusDescription:
This cute masculine nickname -- with connections to princes, Hogwarts headmasters and the Manzo family of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" -- almost has enough heft to stand on its own. But all of its precursor names have merit.
- Alec
Origin:
Diminutive of Alexander, GreekMeaning:
"defending men"Description:
Alec, though an old nickname for Alexander, is much fresher sounding than Alex, with the additional advantage, at least to some parents, of being distinctly male (there are as many girl Alexes these days as there are boys). While Alec has a clipped British image, it's actually one of the classic Greek names for boys, by way of father name Alexander.
- Alonzo
Origin:
Italian diminutive of AlphonsoMeaning:
"noble, ready"Description:
Alonzo is dashing and debonair, with a large measure of Latin flair.
- Artemus
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"gift of Artemis"Description:
Variant of Artemas
- August
Origin:
German form of Latin AugustusMeaning:
"great, magnificent"Description:
The name August is at its highest point since the 1890s, when it ranked among the Top 100 boy names in the US. And deservedly so, given its great meaning, historic roots, and cool nicknames.
- Alberic
- Baer
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"bearlike, dweller at the sign of the bear"Description:
Reversed vowels make it seem less fierce.
