The news of a baby on the way warms the hearts of parents and family, especially when a particular gender is desired and nature delivers. In that moment, choosing the name is among the first decisions—alongside whether the boy will support the same sports team as his parents, or what color his layette will be.
Have you received the news that you are expecting a boy in 2022? We have prepared some suggestions for boy names and their meanings to help parents carefully choose a name that will accompany their child for a lifetime.
I Have No Idea What to Name My Son
It is very common for parents to be quite indecisive when it comes to choosing their child’s name. When lacking inspiration, it is worth researching some suggestions that might seem interesting. Examples include names of relatives or ancestors (which also serves as a tribute), names of celebrities’ children, characters from movies or soap operas, and other sources that can help with the choice.
If, even then, parents cannot find a boy name they like, they can consult books that, besides listing names from A to Z, also include all their meanings.
The Importance of the Meaning of the Chosen Name
A name does not have to be just phonetically pleasant1. A good choice also involves ease of pronunciation, as it does not help if the name is sophisticated but very few people can pronounce it correctly. After these considerations, the meaning of the name is another important factor. Choose meanings that you admire and wish to bring into your child’s life, combine them with the parents’ last name, and see how the result sounds.
Some Boy Names That Never Go Out of Style
Although there are a variety of names for boys, some are considered classics—such as biblical names: João, José, Davi, Pedro, Isaias, Levi, Isaac, Thiago, among others. Compound names are also options for some parents, with combinations that are always popular, such as: José Miguel, Pedro Henrique, Victor Hugo, João Victor, Enzo Gabriel, Felipe Gabriel, João Guilherme, Antônio Rafael, Carlos Eduardo, Raphael Benício, Hugo Gabriel, Rafael Christofer, Camilo Rafael, Pablo Filipe, and others.
Evangelical Boy Names for Inspiration
Evangelical boy names are excellent options for those looking for beautiful meanings. The most common at baptisms are: Pedro, Davi, Ariel, Caleb, Paulo, Daniel, Miguel, José, Benjamin, Emanuel, Matheus, Abner, Luccas, and other alternatives2.
The choice of a baby’s name is very personal. However, there are some advantages when parents choose a name that is easy to write and pronounce, since it minimizes the risk of mistakes. There is no need to embellish the name with many letters or completely alter the spelling of a word that was meant to be simple. You can choose very creative and beautiful options without making pronunciation and spelling more difficult.
Don’t Over-Embellish Names
In searching for something unique, parents may make the mistake of choosing compound boy names that do not match each other, or names whose spelling or pronunciation becomes odd because of excessive creativity. It is very important to remember that the baby’s name will be a signature for life, so never choose something that could cause embarrassment or even bullying during the child’s school years.

If even with all these tips you still cannot decide, there is always the suggestion to wait until the child is born. There are stories of parents who select several names and at the moment of birth, after seeing the baby’s face, make the choice, believing that is the ideal name for the child.
Making a choice intuitively can also be meaningful. What matters is choosing the name with great affection, since it will be a mark the child carries for life. It’s worth using creativity, good taste, and sensitivity for this special moment. Grandparents, older siblings, and relatives sometimes also suggest very interesting boy names.
On the other hand, there are people who already know what their child’s name will be, even before conceiving. In that case, there is no doubt! Make your child proud of their beautiful name—after all, they might become an artist and will need a trademark, a strong, beautiful name with personality!
