Recently named boys: Long “O” sound is going strong!

Boy Names
1

So of the recently born baby boys in my social circles, the long “O” sound is the most popular consistent element. I definitely knew it was popular but to get such confirmation from those around me is really interesting! Some great names too:

[name_m]Bowie[/name_m] (x2)
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_u]Beau[/name_u]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_u]Rio[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]

Has anyone else heard of new baby boys in their circles hear any fun O names? For context I live in a city on the [name_f]East[/name_f] Coast in [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]America[/name_u] :wink:

Yes, [name_m]Enzo[/name_m]. I live in the midwest, US.

I know a couple [name_m]Milos[/name_m] and Arlos!

Most of those listed aren’t really my style, but I’m pregnant with a [name_m]Viggo[/name_m] right now, haha!

Interesting observation! The last baby born in my friendship group is a gorgeous little [name_f]Margot[/name_f], so it’s not just the boys either :slight_smile:

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] seems to be very popular at the moment. I’ve also come across babies/toddlers in the last year or two named [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_u]Oak[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] & [name_m]Odin[/name_m].

You might be on to something here.

My boys, [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Otis[/name_m], were consciously named because I like the o sound so much. [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] are also names I’m quite partial to.

Back in Germany I know a little [name_m]Benno[/name_m], and in the UK, several Olivers and [name_m]Leos[/name_m]

Also, I don’t know if I can blame it on pregnancy brain, but our oldest sons name is [name_m]Boaz[/name_m]!
