Male Nerdy Baby Names, Page 5
Nerdy baby names celebrate the smart, curious, and wonderfully quirky spirit of fandoms, science, and literature. If you proudly raise a little bookworm, coder, or future astronomer, this collection of nerdy baby names is a joyful place to begin. Each pick is drawn from beloved sci-fi, fantasy, classic literature, and scientific history, giving your child a name with built-in stories to share around the dinner table for years.
Consider Arya, made famous by Game of Thrones but rooted in Sanskrit meaning ''noble.'' Atticus, from Harper Lee''s To Kill a Mockingbird, is a Greek classic meaning ''from Attica.'' Luna is a Latin moon name beloved by Harry Potter fans, now inside the U.S. top 20. Orion is a Greek mythological hunter and constellation, bold and celestial. Ada honors Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer, with a crisp Germanic meaning of ''noble.''
