These Boy Names That Start With T Are ~Tubular~
When you're expecting, the numerous decisions you have to make about your baby's birth and life, in general, can often be overwhelming — whether that's choosing where to give birth, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, and, of course, what to name your baby. Choosing a moniker for your little one isn't easy, so if you're struggling, know you are not alone. You may want to consider starting your search by perusing some trusty boy names that start with "T" in order to help you narrow down your options until you find the perfect name for your infant. After all, some of the most admirable traits a person can possess start with the letter "T" — trustworthy, talented, tender, thoughtful. From a classic name like Timothy or something more modern like Tanner, you're bound to find the boy (or gender-neutral!) name that starts with "T" that you'll just know is the name.
Tiago
According to Nameberry.com, the name Tiago
is of Portuguese origin and means "supplanter." Through the name can stand on its own, it comes from the popular Latinx name, Santiago. It can also be spelled with an "H" after the "T," though that often changes the pronunciation of the name.
Theo
Theo is of Greek origin and means "gift from God," according to Nameberry. If you consider your baby "your divine gift," Theo works perfectly.
Tucker
Tucker comes from the Old English word "tucian," per BabyNames.com, which referred to someone who cleaned or softened clothes. And as any parent can tell you, you'll be doing plenty of laundry after your little Tucker enters the world.
Timothy
If you want your baby boy to stay a baby in your eyes forever (what parent doesn't, honestly?), the name Timothy could work. The short version of the name, Tim, gives off major boyish vibes. And if you're having twins, Timothy and his Bible counterpart, Paul, are a great option.
Tony
"Priceless" is hands down one of the sweetest ways to describe your baby's smile or laugh. It also happens to be the meaning behind this shortened version of the English name Anthony, according to Nameberry.
Ty
Ty is another nickname-turned-first-name, and means "From The Land Of Eoghan," according to Baby Names.
Tobias
You may or may not have been a huge Divergent, but regardless, the name Tobias has roots far beyond the relatively recent YA series. The name is of Greek and Hebrew origin, and pops up in the Old Testament of the Bible quite a lot. It means "God is good," Nameberry reports.
Tyler
Tyler shot to popularity in the 1980s and 90s. Since then, it's been less common, according to Nameberry, but is only a few slots behind the top 100 most popular boy names. Its English derivation means "maker of tiles."
Tripp
If you and your partner are all about being very literal, Tripp would be the ideal name for your third child, since the name literally means "the third."
Travis
The name Travis is of French origin and means "toll-gate keeper," according to Nameberry. Famous rapper Travis Scott is one of the more well-known people to don the monicker, as well as Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.
Trent
According to Nameberry, Trent means "the flooder." Meanwhile, Baby Names reports the name means "thirty." Either way, both do agree that it is an English name.
Trevor
Potterheads will likely associate this Welsh name with Neville Longbottom's toad. Others might think of comedian and The Daily Show host, Trevor Noah. Either way, the name carries a lot of clout.
Tristan
If you're looking for a more gender-neutral name, Tristan is the perfect name for your little peanut.
Tariq
This Arabic name may be growing in popularity, but you're less likely to find another "Tariq" in your son's future classroom than, say, a Noah or Liam. So if you're looking for a more unique name, this might just be it.
Tomas
Tomas is the Portuguese version of "Thomas." Unlike Thomas, however, the emphasis in the name "Tomas" falls on the latter half of the word, instead of the former. According to Nameberry, this name means "twin," which makes it another ideal name if you happen to have two buns in the oven.
Tanner
Tanner was one of the most popular two-syllable boy names of the 90s, along with Tyler, Trevor, and Taylor, according to Nameberry. It serves as a more gender-neutral name than some of the other names that start with "T," though, so it would be a perfect monicker if you're all about crushing the gender binary.
Troy
This Irish name means "defendant of a foot soldier," and was the name of an ancient city featured in Homer's “The Iliad,” a poem about the Trojan War, according to The Bump.
Turner
Turner is of English origin, and means "lathe worker," which was someone who worked with a machine that shaped wood, metal and other materials by — you guessed it — turning it against cutting tools. But your baby boy doesn't have to be and old English worker to rock this name.
Taylor
Once in the top 100 baby names for girls and boys, Taylor has dropped in popularity as a name for both genders.
