Want a name for your baby boy that starts with "P"? The search may initially feel daunting.

A boy name starting with "P" hasn't breached the top four most popular boy names in the U.S. since the Social Security Administration started collecting data in 1923.

Boy names that start with “P” might not be wildly popular in the United States, but can be a great way to ensure a name as unique and trendsetting as your future bundle of joy.

If you're a fan of pop culture, look no further than the likes of musical superstar Prince, soccer (read: fútbol) great Pelé and the internet's favorite daddy, Pedro Pascal.

If you're more of a sports fan, there are plenty of famous athletes who proudly sport a "P" moniker, including former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and former NBA star Pete Maravich.

Television and movie buffs can pay homage to the late Paul Walker or be inspired by one of the actors to play James Bond, Pierce Brosnan.

If you are guided by your faith, there are Biblical baby boy names, like "Peter," "Paul" and "Psalm," as well as Jewish names, "Priel" and "Payce," and Hindu names, "Padmaj" and "Padam."
