Baby Boy Name Inspiration 2025

[Smithe3]

Hey,

Expecting a baby boy late 2025 and looking for first and maybe middle name suggestions. UK based and have the very common surname of smith to match too!

Hoping somebody can share some names we haven’t contemplated yet! Current List contains Elliott, Myles, Harry, Jude and Toby but husband and I are yet to agree :) Thankyou!

Roman
Alban
James (Jamie)
Callum
Alfie
Rowan
Zander/Xander
Quinn
Ezra
Owen

It's a nice list. I love Jude. Also really like Elliott.

I also like:

Jago
Leon
Jacob
Ivo
Rowan
Joshua

I'm really keen on J names for some reason! I'm could have a football team of J names.

I think Elliott Smith sounds very good, quite sophisticated and professional!
Harry Smith is good too; no-nonsense and direct!
Good solid name!

Harris
Quinn
Myles
Fletcher
Archer

Myles Smith (same spelling of Myles) is a singer, currently enjoying lots of success near the top of the charts. Not a bad association by any means, and I'm sure there are plenty of other Myles Smiths about, named before his breakthrough, as Smith is such a common surname. It's probably not a name I'd choose now though, as who knows what his longevity will be. It's quite possible he may still be a famous name in 10-15 years to come, which may annoy your son with people's constant comments of 'oh, like the singer'.

I really like Elliot and Jude.

Similar style to your list:-

Flynn
Evan
Luca
Noah
Ethan

Elliott Smith is also a singer, albeit a dead one so less likely to be known when your son is older. He died tragically young in suspicious circumstances though so not a great namesake.

I would choose names no so common, to go with Smith.

Names that sound great in 2025 with Smith..
Manly, known, positive vibes and not top twenty.

Clive Smith
Cameron Smith
Alistair Smith
David Smith
Sylvester Smith
Roland Smith
Michael Smith
Hugh Smith
Lorcan Smith
Owen Smith
William Smith
Neil Smith

Nice list! Toby is particularly lovely!

Some ideas from outside the UK top 100 boys names -

Harvey
Luke
Austin
Ryan
Robin
Benedict
Cian
Stefan
Rufus
Conor
Ivan
Douglas / Dougie
Peter
Hayden
Damien
Lincoln
Aidan
Ronan
Leonard
Callum
Tristan
Casper
Cameron
Frank
Lewis
Rudy
Dexter
Evan
Joel
Aaron
Owen
Dominic
Matthew
Jonah
Levi
Patrick

Jesse
rowan
jasper
rupert
ralph
hugo
rory
eric
elias
teddy
kit
casper

It's a good list, @Smithe3
Elliott - will probably get misspelt
Myles - I prefer the Miles spelling, runs into the surname (Myles Myth?)
Harry - fine but there must be 100s of Harry Smiths
Jude - doesn't sound good with the surname, and due to how popular the name is, he will probably be Jude Smith most of the time.
Toby - fine

I think Toby or Elliott

Stanley
Paul
William
John
Matthew
Samuel

I really like your list. Elliott, Myles & Jude particularly.

Other names - Austin, Elijah, Joel, Finn, Rory, Zachary, Evan, Isaac, Nathaniel, Caleb, Max, Harrison, Tate, Jesse, Ezra

Personally I’d avoid a popular first name as your surname is already so popular. How about

Caspar Smith
Quentin Smith
Reuben Smith

Reuben is quite popular. I know several. Quentin is awful. Casper is nice but there's the Casper/Caspar/Kasper spellings to consider.

Zachary, Aidan, Caspian, Archer, Tobias, Torben, Saul, Jesse

If you like a popular first name, could you add a strong usable middle name, @Smithe3 .

A friend added her maternal grandmother's surname as a middle name for her children.

They are something like Noah Napier Jones and Olivia Napier Jones.

Love Jude from your list!

Do you want something that can be shortened?

Nicholas (Nick, Nicky)
Cuthbert (Bertie)
Albert (Bertie)
Christopher (Kit)
Sebastian (Seb)
Robert/Robyn (Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby)
Bernard (Bernie, Bern)
Jeremiah (Jerry, Jem)
Roderick (Rod, Roddy, Rick)
Francis (Franky, Frank)

David (Dave)
Christopher (Chris)
Thomas (Tom)
Matthew (Matt)
Aidan (Ade)
Nathan (Nate)
Zev - something unusual

Enzo
Milo
Geno
Hugo

Jarlath
Cornelius
Aloyious
