18 Sweet Old Man Boy Names

Adrien is such a handsome baby boy name, and even if it's not all that common, it's still well known. It's originally from the Latin, and just means "a man from the city of Adria," so if you're not the type to overthink baby name meanings, this might be one for you.

The name Arlo has a lot of swag, doesn't it? It kind of makes us think of hip musicians who sing songs about love and hardship. The name has various origins, including Italian, Spanish, and Old English, though none of them are particularly significant.

Benedict is a strong and regal-sounding name that we absolutely love. It means "blessed," and is derived from the Latin word benedictus. We also think Ben is a great nickname for a little boy.
