Cool Names with a Strong O

Baby names that begin or end with the letter O have long been particularly cool, especially (though there are a few feminine selections) for boys. The most popular girl name in the US, Olivia, has a strong O beginning, as does its rising masculine counterpart, Oliver. Both names are extremely popular throughout the Western world.

Along with Olivia and Oliver, other cool names with a strong O in the US Top 250 include Arlo, Diego, Enzo, Leo, Mateo, Milo, Olive, and Theo. Names with multiple Os may be especially cool — such as Apollo, Oona, Otto, and Rocco.

The options for cool names starting or ending with O range far beyond those offered here, of course, especially considering the entire world of Latinate baby names out there, but this group should give you a pretty good start.
