Awhile back, I wrote a post with my favorite girl names that mean “love”. I’ve always meant to come back and write the boy name version, because boys are our little loves, too.
Personally, I don’t see any reason why boys shouldn’t have names that mean love. I like that gentle and sweet sounding names for boys are gaining popularity. This shows me that society is softening its formerly rigid gender roles.
I think that’s why gender neutral names are becoming more and more popular. My post with gender neutral names has been going strong for a long time now – because more and more modern parents are choosing unisex names for their little ones.
So, if you are looking for the perfect moniker for your little love, you might just find your new favorite name on this list.
