Old Boy Names That Start with the Letter T

Old-fashioned T names for boys

Are you expecting a baby boy and looking for an old-fashioned baby name that starts with the letter T? Here are ten terrific names to get you inspired.

  1. Theodore. In its full form, this long and dignified name still has a kind of vintage feel, even though it has made a huge comeback in the 21st century. Bonus points for the darling nickname Theo.
  2. Thomas. Choose this, and your little one will have a lot of famous namesakes from all walks of life.
  3. Timothy. Do you like both biblical names and nature-inspired names? Timothy qualifies as both!
  4. Terry. A mid-century moniker through-and-through, Terry might feel a little out-of-place on a baby born today.
  5. Truman. An on-trend but not overly popular surname-derived baby name a century ago, this presidential pick has found renewed favor with modern parents.
  6. Tim. Is your last name a mouthful? How about lightening the load with a short and simple first name?
  7. Tom. Another short and simple T-name for the minimalist baby namer.
  8. Ted. Ted has a definite grandpa vibe—regardless of whether it's used as a nickname (for Theodore or Edward) or a given name.
  9. Talmadge. A surname, a place name, and a fusty given name with little hope for a comeback.
  10. Thurman. Far more popular as a surname, Thurman gained some traction as a first name in the early decades of the 20th century but never made it to the Top 100.
