Laid Back Baby Boy Names

Laid back baby boy names feel effortlessly cool, casual and relaxed. They're simple, warm and approachable, like an old friend.

But that doesn't mean that laid back boy names are necessarily popular. Some of the best laid back names for boys are actually outside the US Top 1000, like Laurie, Fitz, Rafa and Monty. Others are friendly favorites, like Eli, Jack, Leo and Asher.

Many of these laid back names for boys have a nicknamey vibe, or could be short for something more formal – think Gus for Augustus, or Ray for Raymond. But they also work well on their own. The Brits love laid back names for boys: Harry, Noah, Jack, Leo, Charlie, Alfie, Archie, Freddie and Theo all rank in the Top 20 for boys in England and Wales.
