Some people have baby names chosen long before they’re expecting; others are still deliberating in the delivery room. You might think you’ve finalized your list of unique baby boy names, only to discover that a friend has the same list. It’s also likely that once you settle on a name, you’ll start noticing it everywhere — and realize that it’s not so unique, after all.
Lucky for us, the Social Security Administration has published annual lists of the most popular names of since the late 1800s. For boys, top names have stayed surprisingly consistent. If you were thinking of naming your son Noah, Elijah, Mason, or Logan, he’ll be in good company, as they’re all in the top 10 most popular boy names of 2018.
But those lists also tell us which names are less common. If you’re looking for unique baby boy names — the ones that will set your kid apart from the Jakes/Jacks/Bens/Liams in his class, while not being so far out there that you tire of them in a few years — look no further. We’ve compiled 100 of the best unique baby boy names.
