Baby name meaning:

The name "Boy" is a rather unusual and unconventional choice for a baby boy. It is not a common name and does not hold any specific meaning in relation to a person's identity or characteristics. In fact, it is more of a descriptor than a name, as it simply refers to the gender of the child. Naming a baby boy "Boy" may be seen as a playful or humorous choice by some parents, while others may opt for it as a statement of simplicity or uniqueness.

However, it is important to note that naming a child "Boy" may lead to confusion or misunderstandings. The name lacks individuality and may not provide the child with a distinct identity. Furthermore, choosing such a name may raise questions or assumptions about the parents' motivations or intentions. Ultimately, the meaning behind the name "Boy" is subjective and will likely vary depending on the family's perspective and reasons for selecting it.
