Then you definitely know that I absolutely love baby names! This will be our 3rd year of writing our top baby names! If you want, take a peak at 2019 baby names and 2020 baby names.
Last year, we listed out 2020 girl names like Adah, Reese, Mika, and Paisley. And 2020 boy names included, Archie, Easton, Watson, Cash, and Arlo.
And I am excited to share our top baby names for 2021.
Because 2021 – lots of amazing ladies are expecting! Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, Karlie Kloss, Princess Eugenie – just to name a few of the amazing women who are expecting! This means that we’ll see lots of new and trendy baby name inspiration! (Let me know if you want to see a mid-year baby name post!)
And . . . just a little note – gender is a social construct and out of respect for all – we want to acknowledge this. Although we’ve put these names into subcategories based on gender, these names listed below will work for all, regardless of gender identity. And most importantly, at Sleep and the City – we love everyone!
So, without further delay - let’s start off with 2021 baby boy names..

Hope you enjoyed reading!
There’s no perfect way to go about naming your precious child. I know how hard and fun it can be.
Here are some things to keep in mind that might help you in the naming process! Some say to avoid trends and ask yourself if the name will sound completely ridiculous in 10 years. Others say to remember that classic names do not have to be boring. Honoring your culture is a beautiful way to celebrate your heritage. Also - looking up meanings behind the names can help direct you. Think through all possible nicknames, spell out the initials, and don’t forget to say the full name out loud. Most importantly - have fun and celebrate your beautiful baby!
