This Surprising Letter Might Be the Newest Trend in Baby Boy Names

The letter O is shaping up to be the hottest letter in the alphabet when it comes to baby names for boys this year. Just this past week, three high-profile parents chose creative baby names for their boys featuring the letter O. While the most popular first letters for boys’ names in the US are J and A, that trend could be changing.

Scroll on to take a look at some of the O baby names for boys that are climbing the popularity ladder.
