Hipster British Baby Names for Boys

Hipster British baby names for boys feel fresher and funkier than the classic royal names most often associated with the British Isles. These quirky British boy names are popular — though, naturally, not *too* popular! — with hipster parents from London to Liverpool.

Hipster British boy names that rank in the US Top 1000 include Atticus, Bear, Caspian, Flynn, Hector, Magnus, Otis, and Rudy. For those looking for a truly hipster British boy name, Django, Finbar, Ptolemy, and Zebedee are among the rarest names on this list.

There are some clear trends to be seen here: lively -o and -ee ending sounds are big with the Brits, old man chic is most definitely in, and nicknames as given names are everywhere. If you're looking for a great British baby boy name beyond James or George, you'll find a wealth of wonderful options in this list — no matter whether your taste leans more toward Milo or Marmaduke!
