Unusual boy's names

[VaVaVooom]

The list so far is:

Ezra
Rowan
Elijah
River
Griffin

Rowan is DP's choice, it's nice enough but it's the name of an ex and I don't have the heart to tell him....

Other children have fairly unusual names so would sound a bit odd to use Tom or Charlie.

What do you think of the others?

[notagiraffe]

I love Ezra and Elijah. Really love them. Gorgeous, classic, biblical names which are also fashionable without being too popular. I'd have used names like that in a shot but DH was much more a Tom and Charlie sort of namer. Not keen on Rowan as it's a bit weedy, or River as it's a bit drippy hippy.

[BikeRunSki]

I like Ezra

Are you looking for other suggestions?

[500internalerror]

Of those, I like Ezra best. I love Seth though :)

[Sophronia]

River is my favourite from the list.

[Flopsyhopsy]

None of them are unusual imo. I know boys with all your suggested names.

I like Ezra and Rowan best.

[A4Document]

I like Elijah and Ezra.

More Biblical names starting with E...

Elias
Eli
Ethan
Esau
Ezekiel

Or how about Solomon, Josiah, Tristan, Zachary?

[Jessbow]

[LadyAntonella]

I don't know anyone with the names on your list (though have seen them on MN... Oh and Rowan Atkinson too)!

My favourites are Ezra, Elijah and River.

Arlo
Abraham
Rufus
Wilfred

[Oysterbabe]

Ezra is pretty popular these days, it's my favourite from those though.

[cece]

John is pretty unusual these days

IME the names you have listed (or similar) tend to be the more popular ones as people want to chose unusual names. Hope that makes sense. Having said that I don't know anyone called River - although I do think there is a reason for that!

[Strokethefurrywall]

Griffin is my favorite on your list. Little Griff, how cute is that?!

[IAmALeafOnTheWindWatchHowISoar]

River off your list for me. But all those names are pretty popular around here.

May I throw Piper into the mix.

[Ilovewillow]

Ezra and Griffen Are lovely! I have a Seth so I bit biased but a fab name. We also liked Gage, Gabriel and Atticus.

[TooManyJars]

How about Rohan instead of Rowan

[BendydickCuminsnatch]

I don't think any of them are that unusual, particularly Elijah, Rowan and River. I know babies with all those names. They're all good choices though! :)

I love Ezra!!

[Hushabyelullaby]

Ezra is my favourite.

I quite like Kellen for an unusual boys name.

[Enkopkaffetak]

I would call Rowan and Elijah for mainstream names. of your list I like Griffen the pst/

[Enkopkaffetak]

best :)

[WellErrr]

Caspar!

It's a lovely name and I can't use it so will keep suggesting it until someone else does.

Also - Ezra, Elijah, and Rowan are not really unusual anymore

[NationMcKinley]

Love love Ezra. Also love Rowan.

If we'd had a 4th DS he'd have been either of those. Or Isaiah. Or Eli.

DS3 was very nearly Casper. That's also a great name (can you tell it took aaaages for us to name them??)

[hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman]

Love Ezra.
