Original but not weird..

Hi everyone,
Can anyone suggest any boys names that are unusual but not weird? We simply cannot agree on a name but we know we don't want a traditional name (nothing wrong with them just not for us!) xx

@nikkil123 I also like it pronounced like Ky-an which I also saw spelt like Kaian which I think it lovely! But that may get mispronounced as Kay-an rather than Ky-an...

If you like a Devon what about Denver?

Dergadgeghead · 07/05/2018 21:55

Just one Huxley personally, and another by mention - quite a good name!

Thought of some others:

Marshall
Jackson
Reagan

But these are older children/teens.

@nikkil123 glad you have another name for your list

@nikkil123 One is just outside the top 50 of UK girls names last year and the other just made the top 5,000 I think!

My little boy is Woody. Can't imagine calling him anything else now! It's a bit marmite, but we love it Smile

Huxley is a nice name, do you know many?

A kid in the park the other day was called Axel, I almost want another baby so I can call him that 😂

My boys are Caleb and Cody, not traditional or weird (I don't think).

Good luck choosing! It's so difficult.xx

Zampa · 07/05/2018 20:55

Torbjörn (thunder bear!) and Elvis were on my boys list. There was probably a big sigh of relief from DP when we had girls.

For what it's worth, Hunter and Parker aren't really original but pretty on-trend surname names that are quite popular at the moment.

Examples known by me personally (all under 5):

Cooper
Fletcher
McKenzie
Huxley
Taylor
Darcy
Everett
