Traditional and Timeless 5-Letter Boy Names

For many families expecting a son, choosing a traditional, family-based name like “David” or “Oscar” is really special and important. We love that sense of family pride, history, and storytelling that goes along with having a name passed down from generation to generation. There’s no greater honor than naming a child after someone you love, respect, and adore. Also, if having a Junior/Jr. isn’t your thing, that’s okay, play around with mixing and matching first and middle names for a similar effect.
