Moto boho has been described as the trend that will define 2025 in terms of fashion and style, and so we can definitely count on it influencing baby name choices.
The boho trend in baby names has been huge for some time, however the moto twist brings edgy, cool, stormy vibes to this whimsical nature style of names.
In fashion, it sees feminine lace and soft fabrics paired with leather, studs and darker hues.
I absolutely adore how the concept of sweet and beautiful clashes with edgy and cool. It makes for some absolutely beautiful baby names!
In terms of how moto boho puts a twist on the boho trend, think soft but tough. Instead of names like Calliope, Arlo and Birdie, you have names like Wilder, Harley, Blaze and Cadence.
There are options that are gender neutral plus names for boys and girls that fit this trend on our list. So grab your leather jacket and start your engines, let’s take a look at the moto boho naming trend.
