Hi,

I have posted before. Asking thoughts on the names rowan, sonny and shay. So i thought it was definetly going to be one of those.
Husband has now gone off these names!! 🙈 even though sonny was his suggestion!.... He now wants something a bit less popular. I dont really mind about popularity just would like to find something we can finally agree on, which is proving impossible. I dont think he actually likes any boys names.

Anyway here are the few he has come up with, that i think are ok.
I love the name Elliot but he point blank refused, doesn't like it at all. ☹

Calvin (not sure about it, i like cal though)

Brandon ( one of our favourite films is the goonies) but again not sure.

Xander ( dont want Alexander as my dad is alex)

Orson (like it but think sounds alot like arson and might get called arse)

Any feedback is helpful thank you very much x

Clive and Clarence are both also really rare
Are on all the lists of names that are about to go extinct.

I actually really like Calvin nickname Cal

Orson is nice too I think. Definitely unusual I’d have thought though I’ve not checked the stats

Other less used names: Barnaby, Otto, Angus

Don’t know if they’re of any interest, probably names you’ve already discounted

I really like Calvin and Orson! Great strong names.

I also like Torben and Quentin.

How about Caelan or Cooper?

I think Ashden is the best of your list although I think your DS would be continually correcting people assuming it's Ashton.
