Boys Names that end in S: Part 1


In this post, I am going to talk about baby boy names that end in s and my obsession with them. I will be ranking these names on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being a name I would love to use on my child and 1 being a name I would never use on my child. (All name meanings were found on behindthename.com).
Popular S ending boys names:
1. James- This name ranks #5 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is an English name that is derived from the same root as Jacob. It is a classic, biblical name and it is easy to see why it is so popular. Ranking: 4
2. Lucas- This name ranks #14 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is a Latin form of Luke.
Ranking: 1
3. Thomas- This name ranks #48 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is a Greek name meaning "Twin". It is a biblical name and this is my dad's name. Ranking: 7
4. Charles- This name ranks #51 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is an English name meaning "Man". Every time I hear this name I think of Little House on the Prairie. Ranking: 7
5. Nicholas- This name ranks #63 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is English name meaning "victory of the people". I prefer Nikolai to Nicholas. Ranking: 5

Favorite S ending boys names from the top 1000:
1. Gus- This name ranks #999 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is a shortened form of a few names with several possible meanings. I have always loved Gus, this name brings to mind a lovable and sweet little boy. Ranking: 9
2. Jeremias- This name ranks #991 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is a form of Jeremiah meaning "Yahweh has uplifted". This name sounds cool and I love the biblical connection. Ranking: 8
3.Thaddeus- This name ranks #641 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is a Greek name with an unknown meaning. This name sounds like the name of a brave warrior to me. Ranking: 8
4. Anders- This name ranks #818 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It is a Scandinavian form of Andrew meaning "Manly, masculine". I had never heard of this name until I took a look at the social security names list for this post. Although I do know a couple guys named Anderson. Ranking: 8
5. Silas- This name ranks #119 in the top 1000 for 2016 in the U.S. It possibly means "Wood, forest" and I have loved this name for a long time. Unfortunately, it is getting quite popular and I don't see it becoming unpopular anytime soon. Ranking: 9

The Ultimate Baby Name Tag

1. What is your own name and do you like it? My name is Susanna Marie. I love my first name Susanna, it sounds beautiful, has tons of nickname options, and has a wonderful meaning, "Lily". I don't really like my middle name, Marie, it is extremely common, and it doesn't sound very nice. The meaning of Marie is debatable, but some of the possible meanings are not nice. 2. If you have children, what are their names and how did you come up with them? I don't have any children, so on to the next question. 3. If you have a baby boy right now what would you name him? I would probably name him Orion Zephyr, nickname Oz. I love this combo so much and the nickname Oz is so adorable.  4. If you had a baby girl right now what would you name her? I would probably name her Briley Rose. I have loved this name for a long time. I don't know why I love Briley so much, this name doesn't really resemble my usual name style. Roses are my favorite flowers and I ...

Name of the Week

Ursa Ursa is the name of two constellations: Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. It means "Bear" in Latin. Ursa has never been in the top 1000 in the United States. It would make a great alternative to names like Ava, Ella, Leah, and Nora. I personally love this name. If anyone wants to you can comment below and tell me what you think of this name.

New Names I am Loving Lately

These are names I have just recently fallen in love with and I thought I would share them with you! Girls: 1. Gwyna - I love the name Gwen/Gwyn but not on its own and I don't like the names that it is used as a nickname for. I was thinking about Gwen/Gwyn and just thought why not Gwyna.  2. Maewyn - I have liked this name for a while, but I have just recently started loving it. I love a good Mae name, because Mae names are beautiful and Mae is a family name for me. 3. Clara - I have always liked this classic name, but I find it much more charming and elegant than I did before. 4. Ida - It sounds so spunky, short and sweet. My grandmother's middle name is Idabell and this is would be a wonderful tribute to her. 5. Farren - I love girls' names that have the -Ren- sound in them and this name sounds very light and whimsical to me. Boys: 6. Sydney - This is a family name for me, so I have always had this name in the back of my mind. It sounds handsom...
