Noun names

Everyone I speak to thinks I’m crazy and it’s the hormones but I have always loved noun and verb names. The surname is very common and so I’ve always wanted their forename to stand out.

I love Rocket but DH has said I am mad. Other names I love are Tiger and Canon.

Please can I have any more suggestions of noun names that won’t make my DH think I’ve lost the plot

Canon? 🤣 He'd have to have big balls to carry that off!

Fox is about as animally as I'd get, and that's just because of the delightful Mulder

How about:
Peanut
Jodhpur
Felipe-flop (that famous French footwear)
Finger.

I assumed it was an ecclesiastical Canon.
I'd aim higher with Bishop.
(strewth, that actually sounds OK as a name!)

Canon as in the canon of English Literature? Unconventional.

Kettle.

Any nature name so Rowan, Willow, Hazel, Robin, Wren etc could work.

Bookcase (for a boy, obviously!)
Duvet for a girl
