Baby Boy "O" Names?

Updated on March 09, 2011
A.R. asks from Tabor, IA
33 answers

My kid's names start with A, E, and I right now. I never really thought about it, but those just happened to be names we liked so we went with them. People have been asking if we are going to keep up the "tradition" and go with an "O" name. I hadn't thought much about it. My husband and I have no boy's names that we like yet. The only "O" names I can think of are Oscar, Oliver, and Owen. Are there any others that you have heard of or know that you like?

What can I do next?

I knew a boy named Orion (like the constellation or belt - Orion's belt). I liked that name.
Also, I had a student named Omar and one named Oscar.
I don't know any Owens nor Olivers.
I love Oliver the best.

I think Orion (the constellation) is the most beautiful boy's name ever...even knew someone who'd named their boy Orion. You could always shorten it to the nickname Rion or Ryan...

Oliver - and I love Ollie for short.
Also love Oscar.
Not a big fan of Owen - doesn't sound masculine enough for me.

I like Oakley, don't do it if you do not want too, just my thoughts, but if you feel the need to you can. Our kids each have one letter added to their name length wise, our first is 5 letters our second is 6 letters and our third is 7 letters, it's silly, not to many of my friends know about it, in fact I don't think anyone really knows but my hubby and I and well now all of you...lol
