What's your favourite (slightly) unusual boys name?

[strawberrypenguin]

Looking at boys names for DS2 and struggling a bit. DS1 has a traditional top 10 name but we can't find another similar we like for DS2 so I'm thinking we might need to go a bit more unusual. So I'm looking for some inspiration!

[thinknoodles]

An unusual one I like is Josiah... I would never use it but it's nice! One that people hate and I love is Oakley!!! Love ittt

[NotJanine]

Ivo

[LordOfMisrule]

Asa

[dayslikethis]

Ezekiel - with Zeke as a nn. Would have been DD2's name if she'd been a boy.

Also like Elias (probably Eli as a nn).

One of my absolute favourites but which DH completely vetoed every time I was pregnant (and I did try to ring it back to the table every time!) is Linus.

[Millionsmom]

I was going to say Asa too.

I like Phineas.
