Classic Boy Names That Start with G

Classic boy names G

Expecting a baby boy and looking for a classic name that starts with the letter G? Gabriel and George are among the most popular of the crop, but your options don't end there. Here's our full list of classic G-names for baby boys:

Gabriel

This name combines deep biblical roots with an undeniable cool factor.

George

A literary appellation, royal name and saintly choice all in one compact, single-syllable package.

Graham

There's something about this Scottish/Irish classic that seems to appeal to the new crop of moms and dads.

Grant

The most famous Grants have been surnamed Grant (think Ulysses S. Grant and Cary Grant), but this G-name also has a long history of use as a given name.

Garrett

This one does double duty as a surname and a given name.

Grady

Grady is a great example of a "quiet classic", a name that has been in use throughout history but never chart-toppingly popular.

Gregory

A towering classic with saintly credentials, or an over-the-hill moniker with a mid-century vibe? You be the judge.

Gordon

If celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey is the only famous person that leaps to mind when you hear the name Gordon, then you might want to dig a little deeper: there's also former British prime minister Gordon Brown, rock 'n' roll hall of famer Gordon Sumner (better known as "Sting"), and folk singer Gordon Lightfoot, to mention a few.

Gerald

A currently overlooked classic with saintly and presidential cachet.

Gilbert

A lost classic with saintly, sporty, arty and literary credentials.

Glenn

An Irish/Scottish classic that has temporarily lost its way.

Gerard

Even rarer than Gerald, but with equally strong saintly credentials.

Glen

A pared-down version of Glenn.
