What boy names do you think give off cool, trendy vibes? Also names that would work well for all ages.

I think of Ezra.

Cool/trendy names are usually slightly ahead of the curve so having a name which becomes popular 10 years later

A 25yo called Ezra = cool, a 10yo less so as its a pretty common place name now

The first ‘cool’ boys name that comes to my head is Ace!

Also:

What sounds cool to young boys? At the moment, anything with a z or x or v sound or that ends in an o. Or occupational surnames. Or that has “cool” celeb type associations. But it’s hard to tell how well these type of names might age ( but yes, currently Ezra fits well with its strong Z sound). Names like:

Maverick
Heath
Xander
Arlo
Ivo
Jago
Zack
Max
Hudson
Bennett
Sullivan
Jaxson

I don’t think Ezra is at all cool.

I guess we just have different associations to the name!

Do you have any suggestions?
