Predictions for 2025

I predict the following earthy boy names will rise in popularity in 2025.

Rhodes

Current rank: #707

Rhodes has shown impressive momentum, jumping from #923 in 2022 to #707 in 2023—a 23% increase in just one year.

The name gained celebrity cachet when Emma Roberts (American Horror Story star and niece of Julia Roberts) chose it for her son in 2020, adding to its appeal.

Rhodes carries layered symbolism. Its connection to “roads” resonates with travel-loving families, evoking ideas of life’s journey and new paths. This association gives it a sense of wanderlust that appeals to today’s adventure-seeking parents.

With historical and intellectual weight, Rhodes connects to the famed Colossus of Rhodes—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—and the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford, underscoring the name’s depth and legacy.

The name’s nature meaning, “woodland clearing,” taps into the love of the outdoors, blending history, travel, education, and nature into one.

Following the success of similar-sounding names like Brooks (#73) and Hayes (#208), Rhodes feels both familiar and refreshingly distinctive. Its strong recent rise, rich associations, and on-trend sound signal that this name’s climb is only beginning.

Rio

Current rank: #572

Since first appearing in the U.S. top 1000 baby names in 2020 at rank #774, Rio has experienced an impressive rise.

In just three years, Rio climbed 202 spots to reach #572 in 2023, marking a 26% increase in popularity. The biggest leap came between 2021 and 2022, when Rio jumped from #673 to #560—a 17% increase in a single year.

This surge in popularity may be linked to celebrity influence, with stars like Emily VanCamp and Jenna Johnson choosing Rio for their daughters in 2023 and 2024. These high-profile choices have brought added visibility, helping Rio capture the public’s interest.

What’s especially notable about Rio’s rise is its steady and consistent growth, suggesting a lasting appeal rather than a fleeting trend. Rio’s gender-neutral style, its vibrant connection to Rio de Janeiro, and its nature-inspired meaning make it a compelling choice.

If Rio’s momentum continues, it’s on track to break into the top 500 by 2025.

With its recent endorsements and on-trend qualities, Rio could climb even faster, potentially reaching the top 400 or even the top 300, solidifying itself as a rising star in baby names.

Onyx

Current rank: #308

Onyx has been making a steady climb since it first entered the U.S. top 1000 in 2018 at #864. By 2023, it had reached #308—a rise of over 550 spots in just five years. This upward trend shows no signs of slowing.

The name’s edgy “x” ending taps into a popular trend seen with names like Phoenix and Felix, which have both surged in popularity.

Onyx’s nature-inspired meaning, referencing the gemstone, adds strength and resilience, with the stone itself known for its protective qualities and deep black color.

Celebrity influence has played a role too, with Iggy Azalea choosing Onyx for her son in 2020, helping to bring the name into the spotlight.

This choice, combined with Onyx’s unique sound and gender-neutral appeal, positions it for even more rapid growth in 2025.

What say you? Will any of these earthy boy names go viral in 2025?

Final thoughts on earthy boy names

Whether you’re an outdoorsy family or you’re just looking for a cool and underused name to add to your family tree, hopefully, you’ve found a few earthy boy names that appeal.

Whether you prefer a nature name that’s trendy, rare, land-inspired, sea-inspired, masculine, or gender-neutral, all of these earthy boy names are amazing choices.

Congratulations and good luck choosing the perfect name for your son!
