Cute Names for Boys

Cute baby names mix up the informal and the unexpected. They're names sometimes found on comic strip characters and pets — such as Sonny and Dash — but most of them would wear well on a real boy, too. Formal name options can make these even more wearable for the long haul.

Along with Sonny and Dash, other cute names for boys in the US Top 1000 include Ali, Archie, Bo, Gus, Harry, Oscar, Theo, and Toby. Old-fashioned nicknames make for especially cute boy names — Albie, Ernie, Lenny, and Rudy are among the best, most usable options today.

If you’re searching for a cute name for your son, consider one of the options below. For more information and many more names, check out our complete guide to cute names for boys and girls.
