The Top 50 Boy Names Of 2022 And 1922

Written by Sarah at Adored Names

If you sought out this list, you must be an equal lover of both vintage and current-day-popular names. If you are here because you are simply curious or do not know what style you are drawn to yet - welcome! The intention of putting this list together is to provide inspiration for sibling sets, twin name pairings, or first and middle name combinations. It is also just fascinating to see how the rankings compare with 100 years between them.

Below is a list of the top fifty boy names from 2022 side-by-side with the top fifty boy names of 1922, according to the United States Social Security Administration data.

If you are interested in seeing the girl version of this list, you can view my post entitled “The Top 50 Girl Names Of 2022 And 1922” here.

This side-by-side comparison is also a great way to find first and middle name combination inspiration. Any of these side-by-side names would work, of course (well, maybe not James & James), but I put together a list of some that I felt could work well together.

Here are some combinations created using a first name from 2022 and a middle name from 1922 of the same ranking:

• Liam John (Ranked no. 1)

• Noah Robert (Ranked no. 2)

• Oliver William(Ranked no. 3)

• Elijah Charles (Ranked no. 5)

• William George (Ranked no. 6)

• Henry Joseph (Ranked no. 7)
