Why are baby boy names so much harder?!?

I really like uncommon (not unusual!) names

Can anyone offer any ideas I feel like I'm really struggling 😩

So far I like Wilf and Evan 💙💙

We've just had a Victor. Classic, strong name, but very underused.

That was my exact thing. So far all my DC haven't met another with the same name in nursery/School. 👍😄 Their names are normal names, just not used so often.

@galvantula, I'm a bit picky i think 🙈 my wonderful, much loved grandad was an Alfred but I just couldn't have an Alfie, wouldn't want them to be used by there name + initial like someone else has said, but don't want anything too unusual either!! So tricky it will be so much easier if baby is a girl 😂😂

Hello
So I am on Vampire Diaries and The Originals Netflix binge watch at the moment and a couple of character names spring to mind and thought these are fairly unusual names:
Alaric aka Ric
Joseph
Stefan
Lorenzo
Klaus
Elijah
Marcel
Kaleb

All the best x

Ahh @mototroll I love Francis or really Fran for a boy but a close friend has a boy Fran 😓

Posted too soon! I have a girl Frances. And also a Josephine (Josie) they definitely go together!

I totally get what you mean by uncommon but not unusual. My other girl is Esther.
