Dapper Baby Boy Names For Your Little Gentleman

One of these names could be just the right fit for your baby boy

Emerson – A name of German origin meaning ‘brave’ and ‘powerful’, Emerson is the perfect blend of endearing and gentlemanly.

Theodore – The best thing about this name is its short form is the ridiculously cute ‘Teddy’. Derived from an old Greek name, Theodore means ‘gift from the Gods’.

Gene – Originally the short form of Eugene, this more modern-sounding moniker is now a name in its own right. Many dapper gentlemen have rocked this name including the original Willy Wonka (how much more dapper can you get?!), Gene Wilder.

Earnest – A name of German origin meaning ‘serious’ and ‘determined’, Earnest can easily be shortened to Ernie while your little man is still little.

Remington – Remember Remington Steele? All class. Best of all, while he’s a baby this name can be shortened to the adorable ‘Remi’.

Chester – Originally a surname, Chester is just so sweet that parents began to use it for their baby boys. Though it’s quite a darling name, it won’t sound silly when your little man grows up.

Benedict – Meaning ‘blessed’, this old-fashioned name is making a comeback thanks mainly to actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Easily shortened to ‘Ben’ or ‘Benny’, Benedict is a great compromise between quirky and cute, and traditional and grown up.

Atticus – Charming and suitable for baby boys and grown men alike, Atticus is a fairly modern name with an old-school feel.

I’m a first time mama living in beautiful Adelaide, South Australia. When I’m not at home enjoying the company of my partner, our gorgeous baby boy, and our five rescue cats I love to spend my time walking along our local beaches and trying new foods from the growing number of vegan eateries in our city. I’m proud to be a foster carer for my local animal rescue; I believe that saving one animal may not change the world, but it will change the world for that animal!
