Meet Summer McKinny: The 2025 American Girl of the Year!

And while no one wants to be wind up with baby-name regret (or with a name your child will want to change later on), it’s opened up a lot of possibilities. Every year, the SSA compiles their list of the top baby names for boys and girls using data from U.S. The most recent data available is for 2023, which the list above references. Fortunately, there are plenty of resources to help you choose the perfect name for your son. And believe it or not, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is a great place to start.

Most non-celebrity people may not get away with naming their son after Superman and opt for a more “normal” baby boy name. You can still give your son a cool baby boy name without resorting to the wild side of baby naming. This is too futuristic for my taste but somehow fitting for the son of the man who created Tesla and SpaceX Rocketships. The Social Security Administration tracks baby names, and every year releases its list of the most popular names.

Accelerate Action is a worldwide call to acknowledge the strategies, resources and activity that positively impact women’s advancement, and to support and elevate their implementation. I did some research, and there is another Clare Hutton who is a specialist in Irish literature, meaning Summer will most likely be Irish-American. Additionally, Clare is white, meaning the chance of Summer being African-American has effectively gone out the window, as AG usually has authors that share the racial identities of their characters. Our 2025 Girl of the Year™ teaches girls to keep an open mind and a sunny outlook. The goal of measuring is to determine the correct size to order for each athlete.

There is Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird and Jonas and Asher from The Giver. There are plenty of cool boy names within the Bible too like Boaz and Uriah. Music is another great source, containing names like Jagger and Gibson. How do we determine the most popular name given to boys this year?

We’ve listed just a few of our favourites to give you some ideas. Here are a few more unique boy names that we think sound really cool – short and sweet, effortlessly unusual. We predict these names will be very popular in the coming years but you’ll be well ahead of the trend.

It also tracks data about names that are rising and falling in rank, so you can see how the use of a name has changed over time. From there, we can also see trends, which are confirmed through lists made by baby-naming sites that know which names its users are looking up and settling on more and more often. Choosing a good name for your baby boy can be trickier than you think. The Social Security Administration (SSA) usually releases birth certificate data around Mother’s Day each year.

When you register the birth, you will be asked your baby’s full name as well as details about when and where he was born. Once you have picked a name, contact your local register office for an appointment to go in and register your baby’s birth. Cross off names you can’t agree on, ones that don’t match your requirements, and any names that don’t feel right for your baby.

So, what names did we see more of in the last year, and what trendy boy names do we expect to be on the rise for the future? When we scoured the popular naming trends for this year and next, these were the ones that rose to the top. So sit back and relax with our list of cool boy names and you just might find a new favorite or two. Some of the “K” names that were affected by this alteration include Kameron, Kane, Khalid, Kian, Kobe, and Kyle, which all dropped significantly. In addition to these, other names like Arjun, Nehemiah, Rory, Royce, and Walter are also witnessing a decline.

Luckily, the Social Security Administration publishes annual lists of the most popular names each year, dating back to the 1800s. Parents considering a boy name like Noah, Elijah, Mason, or Logan should know their baby boy will be in good company, as those names are among the top 10 most popular boy names every year. But the Social Security lists also tell us which baby boy names are uncommon. If you’re looking for original or unusual boy names — ones that will set your kid apart from the Erics and Bens in his class and keep things interesting, we’ve got you covered.
