It’s a boy? Congratulations!

Finding perfect baby boy names is not easy. A name should sound nice, but masculine enough. First of all, think of your grand-grand dad’s name - do you like it? Names with history are the most valuable, even if a little bit old-fashioned. Analyze favorite pop culture heroes and literary characters. What’s your hobby? Do you know anyone famous you would like to see as your son’s role model? Associations are significant while picking baby boy names, but also is the meaning.

I will try to help you will a little selection of my favorites from the top 100 most popular baby boy names in 2018:
