130 boy names that start with ‘Y’
Baby names that start with the letter Y are getting more fashionable by the day.
"'Y' is rare as an initial, but extremely common in name endings, both in suffixes like -lyn and as a final letter,” Laura Wattenberg, the creator of Namerology, previously told TODAY.com. “That keeps it from having the exotic appeal of rare letters like X and Z, so parents haven’t really sought it out.”
In fact, common baby names that start with "J" (like Joseph and Jonathan) were adapted from names that start with "Y," such as Yosef and Yonatan. Additionally, Yordi, Yates and Yulian are alternative spellings of other popular names.
