Baby names keep going through trends. There was a time when stoic and simple names were popular, and now eccentric and unique names are ruling the roost. But one trend that never seems to fade is giving baby boys a name starting with the letter W. W, equivalent to number five, is a letter of freedom, adventure, and self-expression. Your baby boy is likely to derive lots of energy from his initial, which he’ll use constructively. But too many changes at one time may scatter his energy, which can lead to lack of discipline and application. But that would be momentarily, and he won’t take long to bounce back. However, W guys are very impulsive by nature, which can see them entering a situation only to discard it easily. They have a fear of being trapped in relationships. They even get restless if they’re made to work forcefully or under pressure of deadlines. They crave for a life with adventure and may create chaos themselves if they’re bored. William, Wyatt, and Warren are some of the timeless names starting with this letter. But if you’re looking for something unique and extraordinary, take a look at MomJunction's long list of wonderful baby boy names starting with W.
