Who doesn't love the summertime? Since our childhood, we've been taught that summer is the best time, the superior season out of the four. How come? School's out and the days are sunnier, warmer, and longer so we can keep frolicking. As adults, the warmer weather means picnics, barbecues and al fresco dining to name a few. Also, hello? The beach! With all that being said, we think this means there should be special attention paid to baby boys who are born in the summer.
We're obsessed with baby boy names inspired by the summertime. These names are carefree, amiable, and warm. Read ahead to see 20 adorable baby boy names inspired by the relaxed vibe of summertime.
SKY
The name Sky can work for both a boy and a girl. We love this airy-sounding name for the bubbly baby boy who always has a smile on his face! If Sky doesn't feel formal enough, parents can also check out Skylar and use Sky as a fun nickname.
JULIAN
A derivative of the old Roman name Julius, Julian is reminiscent of the month that tends to be the hottest of the year, July. We also love how regal the name Julian sounds.
LEO
The short and simple name of Leo comes from the Latin word for "lion." It's a bold, masculine name (and probably reminds people of actor Leonardo DiCaprio). It also has a certain c'est la vie flair to it that we can't get enough of.
THEROS
For a unique baby boy name that sounds strong and masculine, we suggest considering Theros. It means "summer" in Greek, making it perfectly fitting for a June/July/August baby. It's also unique, ensuring no other kid on the playground will respond to it.
LEIF
Green leaves basking in the sun makes us think of summertime, no doubt! That's why we adore the Scandinavian name Leif, meaning "heir, descendant," for a handsome baby boy born in the warmest season.
BLAISE
For the baby boy with a fiery spirit, we love the name Blaise! It's a fun, carefree name with French roots that sounds just like "blaze" but with a way cooler spelling. To give it even more cool factor, Blaise is the name of Merlin's secretary in Arthurian legend.
KAI
This short and sweet name is popular in Hawaii and is just as chill as it sounds. In Hawaiian, Kai means "sea" — making it super fitting for a baby born in the summer time — and in Japanese, it means "forgiveness."
IRVING
The stunning baby boy name Irving derives from the Gaelic words for "west" and "river." It's a perfect combination of vintage-sounding, old school Americana and a laid-back vibe. Basically, it's perfect for a little one born in summer!
CYRUS
The baby boy name Cyrus has roots as the Persian word for "sun." It simultaneously sounds regal and hippie — which is a tough combo to crack. A baby boy born in the summer is sure to love this handsome name when he gets older.
CLIFF
Want something short but bold? Try the baby boy name Cliff. This old English word evokes images of blue oceans, charming seashores, and, obviously, cliffs — so summery!
ARNAV
The Indian baby boy name Arnav is not only beautiful but it also means "ocean," which is perfect for a baby boy born during the summer. We expect this baby boy to grow up loving the beach.
BIRCH
The baby boy name Birch is an undeniably handsome moniker. It takes after the birch tree, which makes us think of the summertime and outdoors. This boy is going to love camping and being outside!
PALMER
The name Palmer is soft but still handsome for a baby boy. It actually has roots as a gentlemanly turn-of-the-century name meaning, what else, "one who holds a palm." But it also reminds us of swaying palm trees in the summertime, so we like it for a boy born in the warmer months.
RAY
We think the baby name Ray is short and sweet and evokes the warmth of the sun's own rays — perfect for a boy with a smile as bright as the sun. The name's meaning, "wise protector," is also a trait any parent would love a child to have.
LAKER
During the summer, people tend to congregate by lakes to swim and play. This makes the striking name Laker perfect for a baby born in the aforementioned season (or for huge fans for the Los Angeles basketball team).
PARKER
Like Palmer, the baby name Parker evokes feelings of playing around in a green park on a sunny day. This unisex name, meaning "park-keeper," is pretty popular and consistently in the top 100 names for boys. We just love how fun and carefree this name sounds.
DYLAN
The baby boy name Dylan may be a popular one, but we think it has a special place on this list. It is believed to mean "sea" in Old Celtic and works equally well nowadays for a boy or a girl.
JULIO
Like Julian, we adore the name Julio for a baby boy that's both born in the summertime and bound to be a handsome, suave young man. The Latin meaning of the moniker is "youthful."
SAMSON
The name Samson comes from the legend of an Israelite warrior who loses his strength when his mistress cuts his hair. More than that, in Hebrew, the name means "sun," proving that the name Samson has a rich history that's perfect for a handsome baby boy born in the summer.
GARDNER
This English name literally translates as "gardener." This means Gardner is the perfect choice for a unique baby boy born in the season when flowers are blooming and the trees are green!
