Old-Fashioned Baby Boy Names Starting with S

Are you looking for an old-fashioned boy's name that starts with the letter S? You've found the right list. From short and simple retro names (Sam, Sol) to long and elaborate throwbacks (Sylvester, Solomon), this list has it all.

Are you ready to get inspired? Then grab a pen and paper, and scroll down!

1. Silas. After a long time out in the cold, Silas is back in the game. Grab it before your friends do!
2. Solomon. Solomon is related to the Hebrew word shalom ("peace"), making it a possibility for parents interested in baby names with beautiful meanings.
3. Sam. This short, friendly name peaked in the 1920s but counts as a classic, even though it's usually used as a nickname rather than a given name.
4. Stanley. Any Kubrick fans out there?
5. Sol. Despite its dazzling meaning ("sun"), Sol has never been particularly popular in the U.S., though it did show an uptick in the early 1900s.
6. Steve. Boy has this mid-century hit fallen a long way from its glory days. But if you're looking for that element of surprise, a little baby called Steve would be sure to render your mother speechless.
7. Sidney. A unisex name with a long list of inspiring namesakes, including author Sidney Sheldon, actor Sidney Poitier, and movie director Sidney Lumet.
8. Sylvester. For some, this old saint's name brings to mind actor Sylvester Stallone; for others, it's the name of a fictional cat.
9. Stuart. A short but complete moniker with a mid-century feel that may or may not appeal.
10. Sanford. A place name, a surname, and a somewhat formal-sounding baby name with a decidedly retro feel.
11. Sigmund. A heavy, oldfangled name of Germanic origin, most familiar as the first name of the founding father of psychoanalysis.
12. Stan. Rarely used as an independent name, this Stanley short form gives off some serious mid-century vibes.
13. Seymour. Seymour was a perfectly reasonable choice for a son back in the 1920s. Is this name relic ever going to regain its panache? Only time will tell.
