A List of Boys Names with Meanings and Origins
These Names are Selected for the Sound and Meaning with Countries of Origin included from a 5-6 month Special Project because I heard of some awful names some parents are calling their child like Carr for a Boy and Atlas for a girl (believe it or not). Names have real importance to me and they should for every parent. We are giving someone a Name for Life and every time someone says our name, it has a meaning. These are all the best names I've found in tireless research for you so your experience is a pleasant one - selecting a name for a child or even a nickname for oneself if you are not happy with a name you have been given. It's often hard to find lots of boys names. Not now!
Hours of searching has gone into this List. I have done the Research and Collating of names, the Screening and Sifting for you to make things easier so you can enjoy!
There are some really good names in this extensive List. I wish you well with your selection.
