Any ideas on unique boys names? Not weird ones, nice strong names that aren't that common but not 'way out there'!! lol

Bit of an Irish theme there ;)

muttonjeffmum · 11/01/2014 22:18

I like soontobe Dylan, Rory, Max and Fergus combination. Dylan and Rory both have a celtic feel to them so Fergus goes perfectly. I just adore the name Rory - great choice.

marceline · 11/01/2014 22:13

Taliesin - very old Welsh name. I love it.

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 11/01/2014 22:11

I have an Eirik and a Caspar. Both seem reasonably unusual but not too "out there".

Britishseamonkey · 11/01/2014 21:28

Ps- to prove no offence meant I have a Max! X

Britishseamonkey · 11/01/2014 21:26

Know at least 2:
Malachi
Max
Edward
Eric/Erik
Lucas
Luca
Alexander
Jonah
Jonas

A coupke of them even have a 'trying to be unusual but chose wrong' vibe to them IMO - albeit all really lovely names and actually who cares if someone else has the same name really?

What about Evan Alan Curtis Angus
Keir
Timothy
Samson
Donald
Brett
Greg
Peter
Kiel
Colm
Robin. ( I live Robin but was vetoed)

MiddleAgeMiddleEngland · 11/01/2014 20:45

Caleb is really popular here, I know at least 4 boys under the age of 7 with that name.

Jonah is also really popular.

I like Diggory, Tristan and Sebastian.
