Catalan Names for Boys

The Latin Ramon has been in the U.S. Top 1000 since the beginning of baby-naming time, i.e. the past 130+ years. Ramon is the perfect blend of worldly and familiar, with a rocker edge via The Ramones. A cool name classic, if there ever was one.

To the American ear, Jordi seems like a nickname for Jordan, which means this popular name from Catalonia could certainly cross cultures.

Intriguing name that's a Top 100 choice in Spain and virtually unknown outside that country. But has definitely possibilities for the adventurous baby namer.

Pol, pronounced as "pole," though a popular Breton name, would be an unusual form of a simple classic elsewhere. The Breton Saint Pol Aurelian was known as a slayer of dragons and a founder of monasteries.

A name sometimes used by Latino parents, perhaps relating to the popular Spanish TV mini-series of that name.

Benet is definitely an unusual route to Ben or variation of the popular Bennett or Benedict, which have a different root and meaning from Benjamin.

An intriguing way to spin an old standard. Pronounced with a hard G: gee-yem.
