If you’ve decided on a specific starting letter for your son’s name, this guide will help you find the perfect choice for your baby boy.
Why Choose a Boy Name Beginning with a Specific Letter?
Many people choose names based on the first letter because it has a particular significance to them and their family. Perhaps they want all of their children’s names to start with the same letter.
Some parents choose a first name that has the same initial as the last name. These names are known as ‘alliterative names.’ Other parents choose a specific first initial because they plan to coin an initial inspired nickname, such as AJ, JP, JR, CD, or DJ.
There is an increasing trend in choosing names because of their specific initial letter, and many parents are also intentionally choosing more unique boy names. If you do choose to go with a more unusual name, choosing one that begins with the same letter as your own name, your partner’s name, or another family member can help give some sense of tradition, even with a less common name.
