In the ultrasound, the baby revealed its gender: the mother-to-be is pregnant with a little boy. Congratulations to the “regular holder”! But now a first name has to be found for the little fellow in mommy’s belly. This is not so easy. Many parents have the feeling that perfect boy names are far more difficult to find than perfect girl names.
All those families who simply carry on an old tradition and name the son after the papa or grandfather are fine. This saves time, nerves and a lot of discussions during pregnancy. However, this approach has gone a little out of fashion today. There is also a trend towards individual names when it comes to choosing a name. However, this does not prevent noble and royal families in particular from bucking the zeitgeist and consciously opting for continuity in the family tree.
Checklist for the right boy name
Angel or bully – who can know that right after the birth? In order to find the right first name for boys, parents have to consider a few things when choosing a name. First of all, the name should not only suit the little, cute newborn baby, but later it must also be able to survive on the football field, in the disco, when applying for applications or when awarding the Nobel Prize and the Oscars.
As a parent, let the following questions guide you:
- Should it be a classic boy’s name (like Karl, Wilhelm, Paul, Christian or Friedrich) or a modern boy’s name (like Milo, Neo, Jax, Leon or Kilian)?
- Should it be a short boy name (like Tom, Jan, Till, Kai or Raik) or a long boy name (like Maximilian, Konstantin, Sebastian, Timotheus or Jonathan)?
- Should it be a well-known boy name (like Peter, Daniel, Julius, Anton or Thomas) or a rare boy’s name (like Keanu, Remy, Qemal, Onor or Birger)?
- Should it be a friendly-sounding boy name (like Benjamin, Tobias, Emil, Fabian or Julian) or a powerful boy name (like Alexander, Siegfried, Rufus, Tiberius or Phillipp)?
- Should the boy’s name have a specific meaning (like Leo [der Löwe], Felix [der Glückliche] or Magnus [der Große])?
- Should the boy’s name come from a certain language (like Etienne [französisch], Malte [skandinavisch] or Nikita [russisch])?
- Should the boy’s name refer to a movie, book, or religion (like Luke [„Star Wars“], Michel [„Michel aus Lönneberga“ von Astrid Lindgren] or Matthias [Bibel])?
Tips for choosing a boy’s first name
When choosing a name, please always pay attention to possible abbreviations or nickname variants. Can first names in connection with the family name lead to strange combinations – classic examples here would be Axel Schweiß, Hans Wurst or Rainer Zufall? Make sure you also pay attention to the possibility of rhyming. Children can be very creative and sometimes hurtful. Therefore, read the name favorites not only “normally” from left to right, but also from back to front! Is there a compromising constellation with the boy’s name you picked out?
For the first name, give preference to the clearer and shorter spelling of the first name and ask yourself whether the child may have to spell their hubs for a lifetime. You hear it formally annoyed: “No, not with J, but with Y, double N and CK!”
First name for boys: middle name or third name?
Mom found the perfect boy name and so did dad? Which of the two should you choose now? In this case, how about a double name like Jean Luca or Liam Noel? According to a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court in 2004, up to five first names are allowed in Germany. A mother wanted to enforce twelve first names for her son under the file number BVerfG BvR 994/98. But German judges saw the child’s best interests at risk in this case and decided to limit the number of first names.
If the parents specify a double name in the hyphenated variant, the child must always be addressed by their full name. Later, it is only allowed to sign official documents in full name. The argument in favor of the double name without a hyphen is that the bearer of the name would be more flexible. Usually the first name is declared to be the first name. However, the middle name can also be used as a first name.
