I'm due a baby boy in July 2017, but am really struggling to find a name I actually like. I want a strong, unusual name that nobody really has but it's proving difficult. Somebody please help. My boyfriend doesn't like Leo, Carter or Hugo. Please help me I'm driving myself mad lol

We named our baby boy Jasper. We've had so many lovely comments about his name!

Orson? Means little bear. I would use it for next DC but not sure we are cool enough to carry it off!

My eldest son was almost called Thurston after Thurston Moore! It's a lovely name.
I also liked Courtney or Taylor for a boy as well.

I've got a Ewan, there's only him in his whole school with that name (in the midlands)

He could of been Geraint, fergus, Laurence, Douglas or Sebastian though. Husband chose Ewan straight away.

One of our sons is called Dashiel (pronounced like Daniel but with an sh) and we are always told it was a good choice. He is called Dash by his friends which is pretty cool when you're a teen, apparently Smile

Some of these are awful. I agree John or David is a strong male name that's unusual now.
