Brother for Rumer and Sage

Expecting my third and we’ve settled on a girl’s name but just can’t think of anything for a boy.
My daughter was Rumer and my son is Sage. I like unusual names that aren’t top 500 or so

So far I like Job (DH won’t go for it and slated on here)
We both liked Atlas but we know one so probably not
We do like Quinn but it is popular. Also Pip but not sure about Philip.

Ideas would be welcome. Unisex names a bonus.

So sorry about your daughter, OP.
If you like the wisdom thing, how about Socrates, Pericles or Plato. Or Cato? They’re my classical suggestions 😊

Jobey? GrinGrinGrin

Some good suggestions on here. Will be running them by DH when he wakes up (night shift)

Not offended by the negative comments at all. They are slightly weird names and I suspect Sage will get Sage and Onion (we liked it because of wisdom connotations) certainly it was the first reaction of two boys on the train when told Sage’s name.

Rumer was going to be Nell but we knew chances were she’d die before she was born so would probably end up known only by the full name (Elinor) and I don’t like short forms as full names really hence my worry about Pip. (She lived three months in the end)

Can’t reveal my girls names (we have two) as my sister is on here but one is the goddess of chaos and the other is from a book about a girl with red hair.

Pippin is the dog from Come Outside.

Pip on it's own is nice.

I also love Kaleo as a pp has mentioned Smile

Cosmoa · 24/07/2018 11:27

How about Koa? I wanna call my next child Nakoa if it's a boy as me and DP love the name Nahko and I love Koa so it's a nice mix of the two!

We do like Quinn but it is popular. Also Pip but not sure about Philip.

How about Jobe or Jobey.
Atlas is OK but a bit to live up to.
Quinn - ok
Pip - not if you listen to The Archers
Philip - great classic name.

Names have become so bonkers that I’m not sure whether the posters suggesting Onion and Salad are serious Grin.

Shockers · 24/07/2018 10:51

Rowan, Jay or Jude are my favourites.

Marcipex · 24/07/2018 10:50

Rowan for a girl.
Rohan for a boy.
