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

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

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

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.
