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

Well you can't have 'unique' unless you make one up, but less used suggestions:
Corbin, Evan, Henson, Jed, Lorne, Jeremy, Robin, Saul, Simeon, Solomon, Isaiah, Peter, Ralph, Richard, Ray, Dane, Zane, Beau, Giles, Miles, Austin, Riordan, Heath, Linden, Lyndon, Leighton, Brody, Gregory

No, lol was meant to be laugh out loud! :-D

I have a Dylan, Rory and a Max...so Cory is out!! There is a few on here that I really like. Dh is quite fussy and all the things I like, he isn't that keen on!! Carsten is nice, never heard that before. Don't really like David etc...not that they're not nice names, just that I'm not really into very traditional names if that makes sense. This is soooo hard!!

I know a David, Robert and Paul! Age 6 and under.

I have an Anatoly. He was nearly Victor or Ivan.
He is Tolly for short.

In our fairly small toddler acquaintance I know a Caleb, and I also know a young teenage girl called Cory.

Ironically it appears to me that the more 'unique' one tries to be the more likely it is to chose the most popular names in the area.

I have only taught 2 Johns in 20 years. No Nicholas or Andrews.

Playdoughcaterpillar · 11/01/2014 18:42

David.
How many kids do you know called David?
I've never come across one.
Robert?
Paul? Phillip?
Think of who you went to school with!

Wishfulmakeupping · 11/01/2014 18:40

Note I probably wouldn't be brave enough to use these myself but
Emmett
Roman
Emerson
Porter
Rafferty

youbethemummylion · 11/01/2014 18:26

Forgot Cory

obviouslyneedsupernanny · 11/01/2014 18:23

Roman?

AuntieStella · 11/01/2014 18:22

Is Lol (nn for Laurence?) the name you're asking us to comment on?

If so, it's OK.

For unique, you'd need to create a name.

Less common names: Nigel, Ian, Jeremy, Roy, Simon, Neil, Roderick, Kevin, Colin?

youbethemummylion · 11/01/2014 18:19

Draco, Hendrick, Hunter, Jackson, Cain, Shannon, Sonny, River
