Finding the right name for your baby boy, as exciting an opportunity as it may be, is also factually a rather important and impactful decision to speak of. This is the word that your little one will be called for the rest of their lives and since this decision is in your hands, so would be the pressure to do it right.
Factoring down on a name could have you find yourself stuck between decisions like picking between an all-time classic or a rather modern or more contemporary name. Well, to make this a tad bit easier for you, we have rounded up the 500 most popular baby boy names which should help you pick a name for your new arrival. These popular names have been drawn from the website of the Social Security Administration (SSA).
SSA publishes a list of the most popular names each year. While the names for 2020 are obviously not out yet, we have made this list on the basis of the popular names in 2019. You might think that these names were a year ago so they won’t be relevant but be not mistaken. The most popular baby boy names of 2018, Liam, Noah, William, and Jame, are also actually on the list of the most popular names over the past decade!
Here is the list of the top, most popular 500 baby boy names to pick from.

Final Thoughts-
While you are at picking out the best boy name for your little one, it would be recommended to find a name that is not only appealing on its own but is also a name that flows well with the last name (and the middle name, if any).
Naming your baby boy can actually also be less challenging because if you look at the evolution of boy names, it has not changed quite a lot since the 1920s. William, a name that was popular in the 1920s, also happens to be on the most popular list of 2019!
Besides, while this list is extracted from the data released for 2019, you can also visit the SSA database on their website and find the most popular names of any year after 1879.
