Inside: Looking for baby boy names that start with B? Here are lots of modern ideas that you’ll love from Banks to Brixx!
Names that start with B represent duality and emotion and are just about as popular as boy names that start with A.
According to the Social Security Administration, Benjamin made the top 10 most popular boy names for 2019, with Brayden, Bryson, Bennett, and Brooks making the top 110 names.
When it comes to B names, I decided to list out only the most modern names.
All of the names on this list come from the other baby name lists I have on this website, which were sourced from real moms.
Some of these names aren’t found on any other baby name lists out there!
