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

I don't think Leo and Hugo are particularly unusual so not quite sure what you are going for but how about Levison or Dashiell.

Gethin, Marcus, Ragnar :)

Hugo and Leo were on my shortlist. I sacked unusual in the end as I found that hard but others on the list were Alexander, Felix, Gregory and Sebastian if that helps. Good luck! I still like Hugo though and couldn't even get it past DH for a middle name.
