Oh dear - McKenzie was such a popular "chav" name when I was in my teens - I absolutely hate it because of that.... sorry!

I really like Phoenix and Carlo out of your list, as those names I haven't seen around, but all the other names I think are quite common (definitely not unusual where I'm from anyway!)

other suggestions for more unique names:

Cassian (Cas-see-an)
Evander
Scout
Icarus
Jacoby (Jack-a-bee)
Oakley

:)

Congrats! Thinking about the style you like, how about...

Rex
Kai
Cooper
Hartley
Hudson
Greyson
Wyatt
Dexter
Marlon

My favourite from your list is Phoenix

AmyMaria2 · 04/06/2019 22:31

Phoenix not a fan
Harley Davidson?
Carlo prefer Arlo
Bailey this is sweet
Jayden not a fan
Denzil no
McKenzie although considered 'chavvy' apparently I like it a lot, would always be kenz/kenzi though x

Alexkate2468 · 04/06/2019 21:58

Congrats on your baby!!! Hope all is well Flowers

Alexkate2468 · 04/06/2019 21:56

I teach in a pretty big school - none of these names would be that unusual. Out of the year groups I know we have Phoenix (girl) McKenzie (girl) Bailey from your list and many from other suggestions.

If you want a name that’s actually quite unusual in that age group go for a Richard or Barry or Keith Grin There’s not many little Keith’s knocking about.

Love Sonny
Favourite from your list is Harley.
I think Layton would go well with Jaxon too.

Hiya all,
Sorry for being non responsive since I last replied long story short I've been having some really bad pains so I got taken up to the hospital Monday and I had to have a c section which was yesterday

I now have a healthy baby boy weighing 5lb 10 oz and no name

Please chuck some unusual names

I think some of those will date quite fast- Harley and Jayden for example and Bailey is a really common dog's name.

What about something old fashioned but not yet mainstream again like Edgar or Edmund. I like Audric and Jerrold too- very Medieval warrior. I also came across Blythe and Garrett which I love

Simmsie1 · 28/05/2019 16:45

My friend is 37 weeks pregnant with a Rainbow baby boy and they are calling him Brody, there also is:
Felix
Arthur
Jasper
(Sorry I’m not the best with boys names)
