City names for boys have culture and class. Whether you select a local legend or go abroad, you’re sure to end up with something special.
Our first stop in cities for boy names is Chicago. This midwestern mecca makes a heck of a name. Not only does he pack the in-demand O ending, but he also has a unique sound. He’s been used by celebrities and everyday parents, with a Kardashian-West kiddo famously bearing the name. They selected it for a daughter, but Chicago is decidedly unisex, wearing well on any little one. You’ll find Gary in Indiana and Louis in Missouri not far away.
If we jet over to the East Coast of the United States, there are loads of location names for boys to choose from, including the NYC boroughs Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn. Like Chicago, these are also celebrity picks. While Brooklyn is far more common for girls, the Beckhams selected it for their son many moons ago. On the East Coast, you’ll also find Boston, Camden, and Trenton. Each offers a buttoned-up, contemporary feel.
Down in the South, Charleston is a favorite amongst city names for boys. This southern vacation staple has a polished sound that works great as a name. Augustine is another standout, hailing from Florida. Texas has plenty of great city names for boys, including Dallas, Houston, and Austin. Other southern city names for boys include Memphis, Jackson, and Madison.
Over on the West Coast, you might enjoy Vegas and Reno in Nevada or Diego and Indio in California. Oregon offers Eugene and Portland, while Cody offers the outdoorsy goodness of Wyoming. If you narrow down on locations, you’ll find city-specific picks, like Lombard, as in San Francisco’s Lombard Street.
Internationally, place names for boys with city roots inspire wanderlust. These include epic destinations like Cairo, Berlin, and Santiago. These places all have their own unique vibe, making them ultra-cool. Kingston packs Caribbean spirit, while Milago offers Ecuadorian charm. Other favorites are Brixton, Kent, and Paris.
We hope you find the perfect pick amongst our collection of city names for boys.
