Emo boy names are an exciting group to explore. Rooted in the early 2000s style of music, fashion, and more, this mood-based aesthetic doesn’t shy away from feeling, making it refreshing in a world of strongman monikers. They aren’t one-size-fits-all, either, so you never know what unique choice you’ll uncover next.
Emo boy names come in many styles woven together with the common theme of evoking emotion. There are literary choices, like Poe, Hemingway, and Holden, as well as word wows like Quill, Storm, and Rain. Some connect to movies of the era, like Twilight‘s Edward, Jasper, and Cullen, while others resonate with moody meanings, like Tristan‘s “sadness” and the “storm” behind Tempestt. Grab a guitar-linked legend like Fender, or stick to a dark darling like Midnight. The emo style offers endless possibilities, giving every parent the chance to find something special for their son.
Celebrities make up a decent portion of emo boy names. Connected to the trend’s most prominent faces, these monikers are the poster kiddos for the style. Gerard is an obvious choice, linked to My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way. This “tough spearman” isn’t common today, but he’s undeniably strong and deserves some attention. Tyson is another standout, worn by All American Rejects singer Tyson Ritter. This “firebrand” moniker has English origins. Madden also has musician ties, as he’s the surname of Good Charlotte twins Benji and Joel Madden. Meaning “little dog,” this Irishman is a cutie. Others relate to band names, like Hawthorne, as in Hawthorne Heights. See Jade, Pete, and Hurley for more musician-themed emo picks.
Emo boy names can come from song names. Konstantine appeared in a 2000 song of the same name by Something Corporate. Seven is another awesome find appearing in a Sunny Day Real Estate song of the same name. Adam was in Blink-182’s sad ballad “Adam’s Song,” while Phoenix has been in many songs, including AFI’s “The Days of the Phoenix.”
