Choosing a baby boy name is one of the first important decisions you'll make as a parent-to-be. Should you select a traditional name that will stand the test of time, possibly one that's remained in your family for generations? Or, should you opt for a more modern and unique baby boy name?

Fortunately, there are plenty of resources to help you choose the perfect name for your son. And believe it or not, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is a great place to start. Every year, the SSA rounds up the 1,000 most popular baby girl and boy names. The list below references SSA data from 2025.

Can't decide on the perfect name for your new bundle of joy? Run your ideas by other moms on the What to Expect app.
