Cool Boy Names From Ancient Cultures

Cool boy names are the order of the day, yet why invent a unique name when there are so many ancient names — from Rome and Old Scandinavia to the Himalayas — that deserve to be unearthed in the interest of cool? Ancient boy names ending in -us are particularly popular right now, such as Atticus and Titus.

Along with Atticus and Titus, other cool boy names from ancient cultures in the US Top 1000 include Alexander, Cassius, Cyrus, Felix, Jasper, Magnus, Orion, and Sebastian. We predict that Caius, Ramses, Rhodes, and Zephyr will be among the next wave of ancient boy names to catch on.
