Traditional and Timeless 5-Letter Boy Names

For many families expecting a son, choosing a traditional, family-based name like “David” or “Oscar” is really special and important. We love that sense of family pride, history, and storytelling that goes along with having a name passed down from generation to generation. There’s no greater honor than naming a child after someone you love, respect, and adore. Also, if having a Junior/Jr. isn’t your thing, that’s okay, play around with mixing and matching first and middle names for a similar effect.

  • Aaron
  • Allen
  • Baron
  • Brett
  • Brian 
  • Caleb
  • Carlo
  • Conor
  • Cyrus
  • Daniel
  • David
  • Felix
  • Fritz
  • Glenn
  • Jacob
  • Jesus
  • Johan
  • Judah
  • Lesly
  • Mikel
  • Oscar
  • Ruben
  • Simon
  • Peter
  • Waldo

Classic with a Modern Twist

Talk about the perfect mash-up! We are loving this niche of boy names which includes “Orion,” “Silas” and “Auden.” They feel classic and familiar, yet also bring a sense of renewed energy, personality and distinction to the mix. In our experience, 5-lettered first names pair wonderfully with long and short last names, so give these modern names a double-look.

  • Abner
  • Auden
  • Bowie
  • Brody
  • Brock
  • Damon
  • Ellis
  • Grady
  • Homer
  • Jared
  • Kaine
  • Lance
  • Maxim
  • Milos
  • Omari
  • Orion
  • Pablo
  • Psalm
  • Reign
  • Renzo
  • Rhett
  • Rowan
  • Silas
  • Vance
  • Zyair

Unique and Memorable

If classic names leave you uninspired, it may be time to shift gears and consider taking an untraditional route. With boy names, this category comes in different shapes and sizes. More and more we’re seeing nicknames and typical last names… as first names, like in “Benji,” “Davis,” and “Grant.” Then there’s unique names like “Arrow” or “Bronx” which are cute, memorable and stand-out in a crowd.

Whether you are waiting to be surprised or simply prefer a gender neutral name, this list provides tons of great possibilities. Use as written or get creative with spelling variations to make it your own like, “Casey/Kasey,” “Jamie/Jayme” or “Shawn/Shaun.”

  • Angel
