The most well-known English boy names are the classics, like James, Henry, and Christopher. They’ve appeared frequently throughout history and offer enviable associations, including kings, authors, and scholars. This gives your little one an extensive list of namesakes to explore. Classic names rarely encounter spelling or pronunciation issues, making them attractive picks for many parents seeking something mainstream. They’re also favorites for the middle name slot, with James one of the most common middle names used for boys today.
While classic choices continue to shine, there is a fresh crop of English boy names ruling on the charts today, including the boyish charmer, Oliver, and his occupational buddies, Mason, Hunter, and Carter. They follow many of today’s top trends, like the surname favorites Jackson, Lincoln, and Hudson, and typically feel polished or buttoned-up.

Our highlight among them is Everett, a vintage sweetheart with the manicured look and sound but the edgy nickname of Ever. Harrison is another posh pick on the rise, helped in part because of his place in Prince Harry’s son’s name: Archie Harrison. He also has a Beatles connection like another English favorite, Jude, winning over music fans. Rounding out our favorite upperclass English boy names are Tucker, Preston, and Barrett.
On the flip side, many English names for boys feel casual and fun. Everyone’s favorite dashing little boy name, Charlie, fully embraces this role. Close behind him are Jack, Tyler, and Chase. These names are young at heart and spirited in nature, making them perfect for a bouncing baby boy.
